Patent ID: 8456393

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an electronic apparatus, the method comprising: forming a plurality of first conductors coupled to a base; coupling a plurality of substrate particles to the plurality of first conductors, wherein each substrate particle of the plurality of substrate particles comprises a semiconductor; subsequent to the coupling to the plurality of first conductors, converting the plurality of substrate particles into a plurality of diodes by depositing a dopant material onto a first, upper portion of the plurality of substrate particles and annealing or alloying the dopant material with the plurality of substrate particles to form a pn junction in each substrate particle, wherein about fifteen percent to fifty-five percent of a surface of each diode of substantially all of the plurality of diodes has a penetration layer or region having a first majority carrier or dopant and the remaining diode substrate has a second majority carrier or dopant; forming a plurality of second conductors coupled to the plurality of diodes; and depositing a plurality of lenses suspended in a first polymer, the plurality of lenses having at least a first index of refraction and the first polymer having at least a second, different index of refraction.
