ABSTRACT:
A method of producing light emitting diodes from silicon carbide with increased external efficiency is disclosed which includes directing a beam of laser light at one surface of a portion of silicon carbide, and in which the laser light is sufficient to vaporize the silicon carbide that it strikes to thereby define a cut in the silicon carbide portion; and then dry etching the silicon carbide portion to remove by-products generated when the laser light cuts the silicon carbide portion. The resulting wafer and diode structure are also disclosed.
