Patent ID: 10643981

Abstract:
Planar surface mount (SM) micro light emitting diodes (μLEDs) are presented. The fabrication method provides a MOCVD LED structure with a stack including a first doped semiconductor in a first plane, a MQW layer overlying the first doped semiconductor in a second plane, and a second doped semiconductor overlying the MQW layer in a third plane. An electrical insulator is conformally deposited over the etched stack in a fourth plane, and etched to expose the second doped semiconductor, creating a first via. Etching exposes the first doped semiconductor, creating a second via. A first electrode is connected to the second doped semiconductor through the first via, and has a substrate interface surface in a fifth plane with an average planarity tolerance of less than 10 nanometers. A second electrode is connected to the first doped semiconductor through the second via, and has a substrate interface surface in the fifth plane.
