Abstract
Methods of forming a light emitting diode are provided by scoring a semiconductor substrate having a light emitting region formed thereon so as to provide score lines between individual ones of a plurality of light emitting diodes. The semiconductor substrate is then broken along selected ones of the score lines so as to provide a unitized subset of the plurality of light emitting diodes. The unitized subset includes at least two light emitting diodes. Electrical connections are provided to the light emitting diodes of the unitized subset of the plurality of light emitting diodes. The score lines may also define the individual ones of the light emitting diodes.
Claims20
A method of forming a light emitting diode, comprising:
- scoring a semiconductor substrate having a light emitting region formed thereon so as to provide score lines between individual ones of a plurality of light emitting diodes;
- then
- separating the semiconductor substrate along selected ones of the score lines so as to provide a unitized subset of the plurality of light emitting diodes, the unitized subset including at least two light emitting diodes;
- and
- providing electrical connections to light emitting diodes of the unitized subset of the plurality of light emitting diodes.
