Abstract
Semiconductor devices and more particularly edge-emitting semiconductor devices and related methods are disclosed. Exemplary edge-emitting semiconductor devices include LED edge emitters. Electrical connections for edge-emitting devices may be provided along certain device edges with opposing edges forming light-emitting edges. LED edge emitters may be vertically arranged and assembled together to form LED arrays with reduced pitch. Related methods include bonding multiple wafer-level structures, such as LED wafers, together, followed by separation techniques that result in individual edge emitters or groupings of edge emitters in the form of LED arrays.
