Abstract

A semiconductor optical emitting device comprises an at least partially transparent substrate, an active semiconductor structure arranged on a first side of the substrate, and a lens structure formed at least partially within a cavity on a second side of the substrate. Light generated by the active semiconductor structure is emitted through the substrate and the lens structure. The cavity may comprise a bottom surface and a plurality of sidewalls, with the plurality of sidewalls extending upward from the bottom surface to an upper surface of the second side of the substrate, although numerous other cavity shapes are possible. The bottom surface may be convex or concave. The bottom surface and the plurality of sidewalls may form a portion of a sphere with a plane parallel to the upper surface of the second side of the substrate.
