Patent ID: 8642369

Claim:
A method of forming a light emitting diode (LED), comprising: forming a thin buffer layer on a sacrificial substrate; forming a light-emitting component made from nitride semiconductors satisfying the formula Al x Ga y In 1−x−y N, inclusive of x=0, y=0, and x=y=0, on the thin buffer layer; forming a conductive Zn(Mg,Cd,Be)O(S,Se) assembly that has a n-doped Zn(Mg,Cd,Be)O(S,Se) layer on a nitride semiconductor of the light emitting component such that the conductive Zn(Mg,Cd,Be)O(S,Se) assembly is directly in contact with the nitride semiconductor of the light-emitting component, by depositing a Zn(Mg,Cd,Be)O(S,Se) film on the nitride semiconductor and wafer bonding a Zn(Mg,Cd,Be)O(S,Se) bulk onto the Zn(Mg,Cd,Be)O(S,Se) film; removing the sacrificial substrate and the thin buffer layer to expose a negative side of the light emitting component; forming a positive electrode coupled to the conductive Zn(Mg,Cd,Be)O(S,Se) assembly; and forming a negative electrode coupled to the negative side of the light emitting component.
