  • Patent number: 8906727
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of growing a heteroepitaxial layer comprises providing a patterned substrate containing patterned features having sidewalls. The method also includes directing ions toward the sidewalls in an exposure, wherein altered sidewall regions are formed, and depositing the heteroepitaxial layer under a set of deposition conditions effective to preferentially promote epitaxial growth on the sidewalls in comparison to other surfaces of the patterned features.

  • Publication number: 20140357005
    Abstract: To provide a highly reliable light-emitting device and especially a light-emitting device which can be formed without use of a metal mask and includes a plurality of light-emitting elements. A structural body at least an end of which has an acute-angled shape is provided so that the end can pass downward through an electrically conductive film formed over the insulating layer and can be at least in contact with an insulating layer having elasticity, thereby physically separating the electrically conductive film, and the electrically conductive films are thus electrically insulated from each other. Such a structure may be provided between adjacent light-emitting elements so that the light-emitting elements can be electrically insulated from each other in the light-emitting device.
