Device With Multiple Vertically Separated Terminals and Methods for Making the Same
First Claim
1. A process for producing a light emitting device, comprising:
- placing a plurality of light emitting elements on a surface of a substrate at different locations in a common plane, each light emitting element comprising;
at least one layer of a semiconductor material;
a first electrical terminal for providing charge carriers to a first portion of the light emitting element, the first electrical terminal being located at a first location along an axis perpendicular to the common plane;
a second electrical terminal for providing charge carriers to a second portion of the light emitting element, the second electrical terminal being located at a second location along the axis perpendicular to the common plane different from the first location; and
a third electrical terminal for providing charge carriers to a third portion of the light emitting element, the third electrical terminal being located at a third location along the axis perpendicular to the common plane different from the first and second locations;
forming a first electrode layer comprising one or more electrodes each being in electrical contact with the first electrical terminal of one or more of the plurality of light emitting elements;
forming a first electrically insulating layer over the first electrode layer; and
forming a second electrode layer comprising one or more electrodes each being in electrical contact with the second electrical terminal of one or more of the plurality of light emitting elements.
