Abstract

A method for fabricating substrate-free LED chips has a multilayer semiconductor structure at least 10 microns thick provided on a growth substrate. One or more arrays of parallel streets are etched into the multilayer semiconductor structure using a first pulsed laser beam. By scanning a second pulsed laser beam through the growth substrate to the multilayer semiconductor structure, the LED chips are detached from the growth substrate while simultaneously forming surface features on the chips.
