Abstract

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) and LED bars and LED arrays formed of semiconductive material, such as III-V, and particularly AlGaAs/CaAs material, are formed in very thin structures using organometallic vapor deposition (OMCVD). Semiconductor p-n junctions are formed as deposited using carbon as the p-type impurity dopant. Various lift-off methods are described which permit back side processing when the growth substrate is removed and also enable device registration for LED bars and arrays to be maintained.
