Patent ID: 7488988

Claim:
A light emitting device, comprising: a substrate; an adhesive layer on said substrate; at least two multi-layer epitaxial structures on said substrate, wherein each of said at least two multi-layer epitaxial structures comprises: a light emitting structure having an upper cladding layer, an active layer, and a lower cladding layer; an ohmic contact epitaxial layer on said upper cladding layer; a first ohmic contact electrode on said ohmic contact epitaxial layer, the first ohmic contact electrode being adhered to said substrate by said adhesive layer; a second ohmic contact electrode on said lower cladding layer; a trench formed in said light emitting structure to separate said active layer into a first portion and a second portion; a first electrode on said lower cladding layer corresponding to said first portion of said active layer; a second electrode on said second ohmic contact electrode corresponding to said second portion of said active layer; and a connection layer formed in said multi-layer epitaxial structure to couple said first electrode with said first ohmic contact electrode; a dielectric layer separating said at least two multi-layer epitaxial structures into a first multi-layer epitaxial structure and a second multi-layer epitaxial structure; and a conductive line coupling said first electrode of the first multi-layer epitaxial structure to said first electrode or said second electrode of the second multi-layer epitaxial structure.
