Abstract

In a method according to embodiments of the invention, a semiconductor structure including a III-nitride light emitting layer disposed between a p-type region and an n-type region is grown. The p-type region is buried within the semiconductor structure. A trench is formed in the semiconductor structure. The trench exposes the p-type region. After forming the trench, the semiconductor structure is annealed.
