    摘要: A method for relaxing a layer of a strained material. The method includes depositing a first low-viscosity layer on a first face of a strained material layer; bonding a first substrate to the first low-viscosity layer to form a first composite structure; subjecting the composite structure to heat treatment sufficient to cause reflow of the first low-viscosity layer so as to at least partly relax the strained material layer; and applying a mechanical pressure to a second face of the strained material layer wherein the second face is opposite to the first face and with the mechanical pressure applied perpendicularly to the strained material layer during at least part of the heat treatment to relax the strained material.

    摘要: LED layers are grown over a sapphire substrate. Individual flip chip LEDs are formed by trenching or masked ion implantation. Modules containing a plurality of LEDs are diced and mounted on a submount wafer. A submount metal pattern or a metal pattern formed on the LEDs connects the LEDs in a module in series. The growth substrate is then removed, such as by laser lift-off. A semi-insulating layer is formed, prior to or after mounting, that mechanically connects the LEDs together. The semi-insulating layer may be formed by ion implantation of a layer between the substrate and the LED layers. PEC etching of the semi-insulating layer, exposed after substrate removal, may be performed by biasing the semi-insulating layer. The submount is then diced to create LED modules containing series-connected LEDs.

    摘要: A photonic crystal is grown within a semiconductor structure, such as a III-nitride structure, which includes a light emitting region disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. The photonic crystal may be multiple regions of semiconductor material separated by a material having a different refractive index than the semiconductor material. For example, the photonic crystal may be posts of semiconductor material grown in the structure and separated by air gaps or regions of masking material. Growing the photonic crystal, rather than etching a photonic crystal into an already-grown semiconductor layer, avoids damage caused by etching which may reduce efficiency, and provides uninterrupted, planar surfaces on which to form electric contacts.

    摘要: A semiconductor light emitting device comprises a light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. The light emitting layer is adapted to emit first light having a first peak wavelength. A first wavelength converting material is adapted to absorb the first light and emit second light having a second peak wavelength. A second wavelength converting material is adapted to absorb either the first light or the second light and emit third light having a third peak wavelength. A filter is adapted to reflect fourth light having a fourth peak wavelength. The fourth light is either a portion of the second light or a portion of the third light. The filter is configured to transmit light having a peak wavelength longer or shorter than the fourth peak wavelength. The filter is disposed over the light emitting device in the path of at least a portion of the first, second, and third light.

    摘要: LED epitaxial layers (n-type, p-type, and active layers) are grown on a substrate. For each die, the n and p layers are electrically bonded to a package substrate that extends beyond the boundaries of the LED die such that the LED layers are between the package substrate and the growth substrate. The package substrate provides electrical contacts and conductors leading to solderable package connections. The growth substrate is then removed. Because the delicate LED layers were bonded to the package substrate while attached to the growth substrate, no intermediate support substrate for the LED layers is needed. The relatively thick LED epitaxial layer that was adjacent the removed growth substrate is then thinned and its top surface processed to incorporate light extraction features. There is very little absorption of light by the thinned epitaxial layer, there is high thermal conductivity to the package because the LED layers are directly bonded to the package substrate without any support substrate therebetween, and there is little electrical resistance between the package and the LED layers so efficiency (light output vs. power input) is high. The light extraction features of the LED layer further improves efficiency.

    摘要: A semiconductor light emitting device includes an in-plane active region that emits linearly-polarized light. An in-plane active region may include, for example, a {11 20} or {10 10} InGaN light emitting layer. In some embodiments, a polarizer oriented to pass light of a polarization of a majority of light emitted by the active region serves as a contact. In some embodiments, two active regions emitting the same or different colored light are separated by a polarizer oriented to pass light of a polarization of a majority of light emitted by the bottom active region, and to reflect light of a polarization of a majority of light emitted by the top active region. In some embodiments, a polarizer reflects light scattered by a wavelength converting layer.
