Abstract
A uLED and method for regrowth with thinner deposition on sidewall are disclosed. The uLED and method include a growth substrate including flat first and second regions, where the growth substrate is thicker in the first region as compared to the second region, and a third region of sloped sidewalls connecting the first and second regions, the topography forming a regular geometric pattern, a plurality of semiconductor epitaxial layers covering the first, second, and third regions including at least a p-n junction layer including a light emitting active region of direct bandgap semiconductor, sandwiched between n-type and p-type layers, each of the plurality of semiconductor epitaxial layers being thicker on the first and second regions as compared to the corresponding semiconductor epitaxial layers on the third region, and a plurality of electrical contacts forming an anode and cathode on part of the first and second regions, respectively.
