Abstract

An improved method of creating LEDs is disclosed. Rather than using a dielectric coating to separate the bond pads from the top surface of the LED, this region of the LED is implanted with ions to increase its resistivity to minimize current flow therethrough. In another embodiment, a plurality of LEDs are produced on a single substrate by implanting ions in the regions between the LEDs and then etching a trench, where the trench is narrower than the implanted regions and positioned within these regions. This results in a trench where both sides have current confinement capabilities to reduce leakage.
