Patent ID: 8436371

Claim:
An optoelectronic device article comprising: a substrate containing at least one electrically conductive via; at least one emitter diode adapted to emit radiation and disposed in or on the substrate; at least one ESD diode disposed in or on the substrate; and a first electrically conductive path between the at least one emitter diode and the at least one via, the path being in electrical communication with the at least one ESD diode; wherein the at least one emitter diode comprises a plurality of emitter diodes; wherein the substrate comprises a N-type layer, a P-type layer, and a sinker implant element penetrating a junction between the N-type layer and the P-type layer; and wherein the optoelectronic device article includes a diced edge, the sinker implant element is exposed along the diced edge, and the sinker implant element is adapted to isolate the junction from dicing damage.
