Abstract
An improved method for producing optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diodes or laser diodes is provided. Light emitting diodes or laser diodes are provided with improved light extraction. Epitaxial layers including a light emitting p-n junction are deposited on a substrate, and separations are cut through the epitaxial layers to provide a structure including a plurality of individual dies on the substrate. The structure is mounted on a submount and the substrate is removed. An index matching material is then attached to improve light extraction from the optoelectronic device.
