LIGHT EMITTING DIODE WITH A DIELECTRIC MIRROR HAVING A LATERAL CONFIGURATION

摘要

A light emitting diode (10) is disclosed that includes an active structure (11,12), a first ohmic contact (15) on the active structure, and a transparent conductive oxide layer (13) on the active structure opposite the first ohmic contact. The transparent conductive oxide layer (13) has a larger footprint than said active structure (11,12). A dielectric mirror (14) is positioned on the transparent conductive oxide layer (13) opposite said active structure (11, 12) and a second contact (16) is positioned on the transparent conductive oxide layer (13) opposite the dielectric mirror (14) and separated from the active structure (11,12).
