Patent ID: 7538359

Claim:
A structure comprising: a semiconductor light emitting device comprising: a semiconductor structure comprising a light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region; a first contact electrically connected to the n-type region; a second contact electrically connected to the p-type region, wherein the first and second contacts are formed on a first side of the semiconductor structure such that the semiconductor structure is a flip chip; a reflector disposed over a second side of the semiconductor structure, substantially parallel to the major surface of the light emitting layer, such that a majority of light exiting the light emitting device exits through side surfaces of the light emitting device; a mount, wherein the semiconductor light emitting device is attached to the mount; a transparent member comprising: an opening in which at least a portion of the light emitting device is positioned; and a groove in which at least a portion of the mount is positioned; wherein at least a portion of light exiting the sides of the light emitting device is optically coupled into the transparent member; and wherein the mount is connected to the transparent member by a press fit between the mount and the groove.
