Abstract
A light emitting device includes a substrate, a doped substrate layer, a layer of first conductivity type overlying the doped substrate layer, a light emitting layer overlying the layer of first conductivity type, and a layer of second conductivity type overlying the light emitting layer. A conductive transparent layer, e.g., of indium tin oxide, and a reflective metal layer overlie the layer of second conductivity type and provide electrical contact with the layer of second conductivity type. A plurality of vias may be formed in the reflective metal and conductive transparent layer as well as the layer of second conductivity type, down to the doped substrate layer. A plurality of contacts are formed in the vias and are in electrical contact with the doped substrate layer. An insulating layer formed over the reflective metal layer insulates the plurality of contacts from the conductive transparent layer and reflective metal layer.
