Abstract
Monolithic light emitting diode arrays may be fabricated by using a two layer binary semiconductor substrate wafer providing a gradient of ingredient concentration in one portion of the wafer and forming p-n junctions to a desired depth in the graded concentrated wafer and selectively removing portions of the opposite side of the wafer adjacent to said p-n junctions in order to permit light of varying colors to escape and to provide optical isolation. Metallurgical pads are provided to each of the p-n junctions for solder reflow type connections.
