Abstract
A device includes a semiconductor structure comprising a light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. The semiconductor structure is disposed between a window layer and a light-directing structure. The light-directing structure is configured to direct light toward the window layer; examples of suitable light-directing structures include a porous semiconductor layer and a photonic crystal. An n-contact is electrically connected to the n-type region and a p-contact is electrically connected to the p-type region. The p-contact is disposed in an opening formed in the semiconductor structure.
