Abstract: A light emitting diode is disclosed that includes an active region and a plurality of exterior surfaces. A light enhancement feature is present on at least portions of one of the exterior surfaces of the diode, with the light enhancement feature being selected from the group consisting of shaping and texturing. A light enhancement feature is present on at least portions of each of the other exterior surfaces of the diode, with these light enhancement features being selected from the group consisting of shaping, texturing, and reflectors.

Abstract: Light emitting device die having a mesa configuration on a substrate and an electrode on the mesa are attached to a submount in a flip-chip configuration by forming predefined pattern of conductive die attach material on at least one of the electrode and the submount and mounting the light emitting device die to the submount. The predefined pattern of conductive die attach material is selected so as to prevent the conductive die attach material from contacting regions of having opposite conductivity types when the light emitting device die is mounted to the submount. The predefined pattern of conductive die attach material may provide a volume of die attach material that is less than a volume defined by an area of the electrode and a distance between the electrode and the submount. Light emitting device dies having predefined patterns of conductive die attach material are also provided.
