Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to light emitting diodes LEDs and methods of manufacturing the LEDs. The LEDs include a mesa-structure that improves light extraction of the LEDs. Furthermore, the process for forming the LEDs refrains from using physical etching to a quantum well active region of the LEDs to prevent compromising performance at the quantum well sidewall.
