First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vertical cavity light emitting source comprising:
- (a) a lower reflector comprising a first patterned membrane comprising an array of holes;
(b) an active region disposed over the lower reflector, wherein the active region is separated from the lower reflector by at least one intra-cavity electrically conductive contact disposed between the active region and the lower reflector; and
(c) an upper reflector comprising a second patterned membrane comprising an array of holes disposed over the active region, wherein the upper reflector is separated from the active region by at least one intra-cavity electrically conductive contact disposed between the upper reflector and the active region.

Abstract
Vertical cavity light emitting sources that utilize patterned membranes as reflectors are provided. The vertical cavity light emitting sources have a stacked structure that includes an active region disposed between an upper reflector and a lower reflector. The active region, upper reflector and lower reflector can be fabricated from single or multi-layered thin films of solid states materials (“membranes”) that can be separately processed and then stacked to form a vertical cavity light emitting source.
