Abstract:
A method of making a light-emitting device, the method comprising:growing a III-nitride light-emitting structure on a growth substrate, the III-nitride light-emitting structure including a p-type layer, an n-type layer, and a light-emitting layer; forming a first electrical contact on a side of the III-nitride light-emitting structure opposite the growth substrate, wherein the first electrical contact is reflective; wafer bonding the III-nitride light-emitting structure to a host substrate; after wafer bonding the III-nitride light-emitting structure to a host substrate, removing the growth substrate; and after removing the growth substrate, forming a second electrical contact on a side of the III-nitride light-emitting structure exposed by removal of the growth substrate.
