Abstract
A light emitting diodes (LEDs) is presented. The LED includes a stress-alleviation layer on a substrate. Open regions and stress-alleviation layer regions are formed on the substrate. Epitaxial layers are disposed on the substrate, at least in the open regions therein, thereby forming an LED structure. The substrate is diced through at least a first portion of the stress-alleviation regions, thereby forming the plurality of LEDs.
