Abstract

Embodiments of the invention include a semiconductor structure including a light emitting layer sandwiched between an n-type region and a p-type region. A growth substrate is attached to the semiconductor structure. The growth substrate has at least one angled sidewall. A reflective layer is disposed on the angled sidewall. A majority of light extracted from the semiconductor structure and the growth substrate is extracted through a first surface of the growth substrate.
