Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A light emitting diode is disclosed that includes a light emitting active structure formed from the Group III nitride material system, a bonding structure supporting the Group III nitride active structure, and a mounting substrate supporting the bonding structure. The mounting substrate includes a material that reflects at least fifty percent of light having the frequencies emitted by the active structure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A light emitting diode comprising: a light emitting active structure formed from a Group III nitride material system; a bonding structure; and a mounting substrate, a first ohmic contact to a p-type portion of said light emitting active structure; and a second ohmic contact to an n-type portion of said light emitting active structure, said mounting substrate comprising a material such that a surface of the mounting substrate reflects at least f…
