1. A method of making a light-emitting device comprising a multi-layer stack of materials including a layer of p-doped material, a light-generating region, and a first layer, the method comprising:
- bonding the first layer with a substrate;
subsequent to bonding the first layer with the substrate, bonding a layer of a reflective material with the layer of p-doped material, the multi-layer stack of materials being between the substrate and the layer of reflective material; and
removing the substrate, wherein;
the first layer includes a surface having a dielectric function that varies spatially according to a pattern;
the reflective material is capable of reflecting at least about 50% of light generated by the light-generating region that impinges on the layer of reflective material; and
the substrate is removed after bonding the layer of the reflective material with the layer of p-doped material.

Abstract
Methods of making multi-layer light-emitting devices and related components and systems are disclosed. The light-emitting devices can include a layer of reflective material bonded with a layer of p-doped material. The reflective material can be capable of reflecting at least about 50% of light generated by a light-generating region that impinges on the layer of reflective material.
