Abstract
A light emitting diode (LED) die includes a semiconductor substrate having an n-type confinement layer, a multiple quantum well (MQW) layer in electrical contact with the n-type confinement layer configured to emit electromagnetic radiation, a p-type confinement layer in electrical contact with the multiple quantum well (MQW) layer; multiple light extraction structures on the n-type confinement layer configured to scatter the electromagnetic radiation; and an electrode in a recess embedded in the n-type confinement layer proximate to the light extraction structures. A method of fabrication includes: forming the semiconductor substrate; forming a recess in the n-type confinement layer having sidewalls and a planar bottom surface; forming an electrode in the recess comprising a conductive material conforming to the sidewalls and to the bottom surface of the recess; planarizing the electrode; and forming a plurality of light extraction structures in the n-type confinement layer proximate to the electrode.
