Abstract
A method of fabricating an LED array including epitaxially and sequentially growing a conductive layer on a substrate, a first carrier confinement layer, an active layer, a second carrier confinement layer and a conductive cap. Selectively etching the cap to provide exposed surface areas defining row and column areas with a matrix of diodes positioned in rows and columns therebetween. Implanting a first impurity in the row areas to form vertical conductors extending through the second confinement, active and first confinement layers to provide surface contacts to each diode. Implanting a second impurity in the row and column areas through the second confinement and active layers to form an isolating resistive volume around each diode. Implanting a third impurity in the row areas through the second confinement, active, and first confinement layers and into the substrate to form an isolating resistive volume between each row of diodes.
