Abstract
Light emitting diodes and associated methods of manufacturing are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a light emitting diode (LED) includes a substrate, a semiconductor material carried by the substrate, and an active region proximate to the semiconductor material. The semiconductor material has a first surface proximate to the substrate and a second surface opposite the first surface. The second surface of the semiconductor material is generally non-planar, and the active region generally conforms to the non-planar second surface of the semiconductor material.
Claims5
A light emitting diode (LED), comprising:
- a substrate;
- a semiconductor material carried by the substrate, the semiconductor material having a first surface proximate to the substrate and a second surface opposite the first surface, the second surface of the semiconductor material being generally non-planar;
- and
- an active region proximate to the semiconductor material, the active region generally conforming to the non-planar second surface of the semiconductor material.
