A second bonding layer is formed on the second light emitting layer. The second bonding layer is bonded to a handling substrate, followed by removing the second substrate from the second light emitting layer. A third bonding layer is formed on the second light emitting layer on an opposite side of the second light emitting layer to the handling layer.

Abstract: A method of forming a Light Emitting Diode (LED) precursor is provided. The method comprises forming a LED stack comprising a plurality of Group III-nitride layers on a substrate, the LED stack comprising a LED stack surface formed on an opposite side of the LED stack to the substrate, and masking a first portion of the LED stack surface, leaving a second portion of the LED stack surface exposed. The second portion of the LED stack surface is subjected to a resistivity changing process such that a second region of the LED stack below the second portion of the LED stack surface comprising at least one of the Group III-nitride layers of the LED stack has a relatively higher resistivity than a resistivity of the respective Group-III nitride layer in a first region of the LED stack below the first portion of the LED stack surface.

Abstract: A method of preparing a substrate for substrate bonding is provided. The method comprises: forming a recess in a substrate surface of the substrate, and forming a bondable dielectric layer on the substrate surface of the substrate. The bondable dielectric layer has a bonding surface on an opposite side of the bondable dielectric layer to the substrate surface, wherein the recess and the bondable dielectric layer define a dielectric cavity having a dielectric cavity volume. A plug is formed configured to make electrical contact to the substrate in the dielectric cavity volume. The plug has a plug volume which is less than the dielectric cavity volume, wherein the plug extends from the dielectric cavity beyond the bonding surface in a direction generally normal to the bonding surface. The plug is coined by compressing the substrate between opposing planar surfaces such that a contact surface of the plug is made co-planar with the bonding surface.
