  • Light-emitting devices including a nonperiodic pattern
    Patent number: 7915679
    Abstract: Light-emitting devices, and related components, systems and methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the light-emitting devices include a multi-layer stack of materials. The stack of materials includes a light-generating region and a first layer supported by the light-generating region. The surface of the first layer is configured so that light generated by the light-generating region can emerge from the light-emitting device via the surface of the first layer. The surface has a dielectric function that varies spatially according to a nonperiodic pattern.

  • Electronic device contact structures
    Patent number: 7598531
    Abstract: Electronic devices involving contact structures, and related components, systems and methods associated therewith are described. Contact structures (also referred to as electrical contact structures or electrodes) are features on a device that are electrically connected to a power source. The power source can provide current to the device via the contact structures. The contact structures can be designed to improve current distribution in electronic devices. For example, the contact resistance of the contacts may be modified to improve current distribution (e.g., by controlling the shape and/or structure and/or composition of the contacts). The contact structures may include an intervening layer (e.g., a non-ohmic layer) positioned between a surface of the device and a conductive portion extending from a conductive pad. The intervening layer and/or conductive portions may be designed to have certain shapes (e.g.
