Abstract
A semiconductor structure includes an active region configured to emit light upon the application of a voltage thereto, a window layer configured to receive the light emitted by the active region, and a plurality of discrete phosphor-containing regions on the window layer and configured to receive light emitted by the active region and to convert at least a portion of the received light to a different wavelength than a wavelength of light emitted by the active region. Methods of forming a semiconductor structure including an active region configured to emit light and a window layer include forming a plurality of discrete phosphor-containing regions on the window layer.
