Abstract:
An integrated circuit is provided with a (bridge) rectifier circuit configured to couple to an alternating current (AC) supply to a (string of) LEDs monolithically fabricated on substrate, preferably on a patterned sapphire substrate (PSS). The rectifier including at least one schottky barrier diode configured to have a reverse-bias breakdown voltage substantially equal to or greater than half a peak voltage of the AC supply. Further embodiments include a method for fabricating an integrated Schottky barrier diode (SBD) with a LED on a LED wafer. Some embodiments can include etching processes to a wafer that may include a plurality of processing cycles. Some embodiments can further include a wafer having a patterned substrate. The wafer with the patterned substrate may have an interface layer configured to facilitate increasing a forward bias current density of the SBD.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein etching at least a portion of the wafer to expose at least the portion of the buffer layer further comprises performing at least one cycle of processing, each of the at least one processing cycle comprising:\n growing a layer of an oxide on at least a portion of the n-type layer; and etching at least a portion of the wafer to remove at least a portion of the oxide.
