International Classification:

H01L 21/00

US Classification:

438 22, 438 42, 438736, 438950, 438956

Abstract:

A method includes disposing a planarization layer on a surface of a layer of semiconductor material and disposing a lithography layer on a surface of the planarization layer. The method also includes performing nanolithography to remove at least a portion of the planarization layer, at least a portion of the lithography layer and at least a portion of the layer of semiconductor material, thereby forming a dielectric function in the surface of the layer of semiconductor material that varies spatially according to a pattern.

US Classification:

257 91, 257 95, 257 98, 257 99, 257E33063, 257E33065

Abstract:

Electronic devices involving contact structures, and related components, systems and methods associated therewith are described. Contact structures (also referred to as electrical contact structures or electrodes) are features on a device that are electrically connected to a power source. The power source can provide current to the device via the contact structures. The contact structures can be designed to improve current distribution in electronic devices. For example, the contact resistance of the contacts may be modified to improve current distribution (e. g. , by controlling the shape and/or structure and/or composition of the contacts). The contact structures may include an intervening layer (e. g. , a non-ohmic layer) positioned between a surface of the device and a conductive portion extending from a conductive pad. The intervening layer and/or conductive portions may be designed to have certain shapes (e. g.

International Classification:

H01L 33/00

US Classification:

Abstract:

Light-emitting devices (e. g. , LEDs) and methods associated with such devices are provided. In some embodiments, the device includes a distribution of light-generating portions (including active regions) that are spatially localized and separated (e. g. , horizontally or vertically) from one or more patterned light extraction portions. This arrangement can allow light generated by the device to propagate and pass through regions of low absorption (e. g. , light-extraction portions) rather than in regions of high absorption (e. g. , light-generating portions), which can enhance light emission.
