Light emitting diode (LED) die having peripheral electrode frame and method of fabrication

摘要

A light emitting diode (LED) die includes a first-type semiconductor layer, a multiple quantum well (MQW) layer and a second-type semiconductor layer. The light emitting diode (LED) die also includes a peripheral electrode on the first-type semiconductor layer located proximate to an outer periphery of the first-type semiconductor layer configured to spread current across the first-type semiconductor layer. A method for fabricating the light emitting diode (LED) die includes the step of forming an electrode on the outer periphery of the first-type semiconductor layer at least partially enclosing and spaced from the multiple quantum well (MQW) layer configured to spread current across the first-type semiconductor layer.
