A light emitting device with on-chip optical power readout includes a light emitting mesa and a light detecting mesa formed adjacent to each other on the same substrate of a chip, and a portion of the light emitted from the light emitting mesa is transmitted to the light detecting mesa at least through the substrate. The light emitting mesa and the light detecting mesa have exactly the same epitaxial structure and can be electrically isolated from each other by an insulation layer, or an airgap formed therebetween, or by ion implantation. The light emitting mesa and the light detecting mesa can also share an n-type structure and a common n-electrode while having their own p-electrode, respectively.

Light-emitting device with optical power readout

A high-power light-emitting diode is made by monolithically integrating multiple miniature light-emitting chips for improved operation voltage, light extraction efficiency and device yield. The light emitting diode includes a plurality of monolithically integrated mini chips, each of the mini chips has a mini n-contact formed on an n-type structure, a mini p-ohmic contact formed on a p-type structure, and a mini light emitting area defined by the mini p-ohmic contact. An n-bridge metal electrically connecting the mini n-contact of the mini chips to an n-bonding pad, the n-bridge metal is formed on the p-type structure and on sidewall of an opening in the p-type structure and on the active-region.

Monolithic multi-chip-collective light-emitting diode

A light-emitting device includes an n-semiconductor structure, a p-semiconductor structure and a light-emitting active-region sandwiched therebetween. An n-trough is formed to expose the n-semiconductor structure by removing a first portion of the p-semiconductor structure and the light-emitting active-region. The n-trough surrounds a p-mesa which contains a second portion of the n-semiconductor structure, the p-semiconductor structure and the light-emitting active-region. The n-trough and the p-mesa are path-connected spaces and are formed via lithography and etching using a lithographic mask which is topologically constructed via merging a unit cell's at least two transformations selected from the unit cell's translation, rotation, and reflection transformations.
