More Information
Summary:Light emitting devices and methods of fabricating light emitting devices having a current blocking mechanism below the wire bond pad are provided. The current blocking mechanism may be a reduced conduction region in an active region of the device. The current blocking mechanism could be a damage region of a layer on which a contact is formed. The current blocking mechanism could be a Schottky contact between an ohmic contact and the active region of the device. A semiconductor junction, such as a PN junction could also be provided between the ohmic contact and the active region.
