Abstract:
1. A light emitting heterostructure comprising: a light generating structure including a top layer, wherein a surface of the top layer includes a first portion configured to be directly connected to a first component, distinct from the light emitting heterostructure, in a circuit; and a contact layer over a second portion of the surface of the top layer distinct from the first portion, wherein the contact layer is an H-shape having a top surface configured to be directly connected to a second component, distinct from the light emitting heterostructure, in the circuit, wherein the H-shape consists essentially of: a pair of substantially parallel fingers connected by a central portion, each finger extending laterally above and laterally below the central portion, and wherein a first finger of the pair of substantially parallel fingers and the central portion have lateral widths between 0.1 and 0.5 current crowding lengths for the light emitting heterostructure.
