Abstract:
A light emitting device includes a vertical via through the P-type semi-conductor layer and the active layer. Using a vertical via reduces quantum well damage, allows shortening of P-N spacing, and allows increased reflective area. A dielectric structure is formed in the via to provide a sloped wall that extends to an upper surface of the device. Another dielectric layer covers the upper surface and the sloped wall, and provides select contacts to the semiconductor layers. A metal layer is subsequently applied. Because the dielectric layers provide a continuous slope from the surface of the device, the metal layer does not include a vertical drop. Because the active layer does not extend into the via, the contact to the N-type semiconductor layer may be situated closer to the wall of the via, increasing the area available for a reflective layer.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 9 , including providing a reflective layer on a surface of the second semiconductor layer, opposite the active layer; wherein the dielectric structure covers at least a portion of the reflective layer.
