Abstract: A method includes transferring a first subset of the first LEDs from a first substrate to a first backplane to form first subpixels in pixel regions, transferring a first subset of the second LEDs to a second backplane and separating the first subset of the second LEDs from a second substrate to leave first vacancies on the second substrate, forming an additional electrically conductive material on a second subset of second LEDs located on the second substrate after transferring the first subset of the second LEDs to the second backplane, positioning the second substrate over the first backplane, such that the first subpixels are disposed in the first vacancies, and transferring the second subset of the second LEDs to a second subset of bonding structures on the first backplane to form second subpixels in the pixel regions, while a gap exists between the first subpixels and the second substrate.

Abstract: A growth mask layer is formed over a semiconductor material layer on a substrate. Optionally, a patterned hard mask layer can be formed over the growth mask layer. A nano-imprint lithography (NIL) resist layer is applied, and is imprinted with a pattern of recesses by stamping. The pattern in the NIL resist layer through the growth mask layer to provide a patterned growth mask layer with clusters of openings therein. If a patterned hard mask layer is employed, the patterned hard mask can prevent transfer of the pattern in the area covered by the patterned hard mask layer. Semiconductor material portions, such as nanowires can be formed in a cluster configuration through the clusters of openings in the patterned growth mask layer. Alignment marks can be formed concurrently with formation of semiconductor material portions by employing nano-imprint lithography.

An anode contact electrode may be formed on the second conductivity type semiconductor material layers for redundancy. The doped compound semiconductor layer may be patterned with tapered sidewalls to enhance etendue. An optically clear encapsulation matrix may be formed on the doped compound semiconductor material layer to enhance etendue. Lift-off processes may be employed for the active regions. Cracking of the LEDs may be suppressed employing a thick reflector layer.
