Blue LED devices with hBN layers transferred to thicknesses of 10 nm, 20 nm, or 30 nm on the rear surface of the substrate were attached to glass without a heat sink and connected to electrodes through bonding wires (FIG. 7). A second configuration connected blue LED devices with hBN layers to electrodes (FIG. 8).
Layer stacks claimed or described, ordered top of device to substrate.
