Patent ID: 7632691

Claim:
A method for fabricating a light source, said method comprising: providing a light emitter section and a base section, said light emitter section comprising a light generation layer on a first substrate, and a conducting layer in contact with said light generation layer, said light generation layer comprising a plurality of electrically insulated light section vias extending through said light generation layer to said first substrate, said base section comprising a second substrate having a top base surface and a bottom base surface, said top base surface comprising a first base electrode and a second base electrode corresponding to each light section via, said first base electrode and said second base electrode being electrically insulated from one another, said first base electrode being electrically connected to a first base power contact on said bottom surface and said second base electrode being electrically connected to a second power contact on said bottom surface, bonding said base section to said light emitter section such that said first base electrode is aligned with said corresponding one of said light section vias and said second base electrode is bonded to said conducting layer of said light emitter section; removing said first substrate; and depositing metal in said light section vias that are aligned with said first base electrode.
