Patent ID: 10644200

Abstract:
A vertical topology light emitting device can include a conductive support structure; an adhesion layer disposed on the conductive support structure; a p-type contact disposed on the adhesion layer; a GaN-based semiconductor structure disposed on the p-type contact, in which the GaN-based semiconductor structure includes an n-type GaN-based layer, a p-type GaN-based layer, and an active layer between the n-type GaN-based layer and the p-type GaN-based layer, in which the n-type GaN-based layer has an etched flat surface, and the GaN-based semiconductor structure includes a bottom surface proximate to the conductive support structure, a top surface opposite to the bottom surface, and a side surface between the top surface and the bottom surface; an interface layer on the GaN-based semiconductor structure; and a contact pad disposed on the interface layer, in which the interface layer includes a portion which directly contacts the etched flat surface of the n-type GaN-based layer, and a first thickness of the conductive support structure is 0.5 times less than a width of the top surface of the GaN-based semiconductor structure.
