摘要: A light source is disclosed that includes a light emitting device such as a III-nitride light emitting diode covered with a luminescent material structure, such as a single layer or multiple layers of phosphor. Any variations in the thickness of the luminescent material structure are less than or equal to 10% of the average thickness of the luminescent material structure. In some embodiments, the thickness of the luminescent material structure is less than 10% of a cross-sectional dimension of the light emitting device. In some embodiments, the luminescent material structure is the only luminescent material through which light emitted from the light emitting device passes. In some embodiments, the luminescent material structure is between about 15 and about 100 microns thick. The luminescent material structure is selectively deposited on the light emitting device by, for example, stenciling or electrophoretic deposition.

摘要: This method relates to the fabrication of semiconductor light-emitting devices having at least one ordered textured interface. Controlled interface texturing with an ordered pattern is provided on any or all interfaces of such a device to enhance light extraction from these interfaces and thus improve the performance of the device. Ordered interface texturing offers an improvement in light extraction by increasing the transmission of total optical power from the device into the ambient. This improvement is possible because ordered interface texturing can provide: 1) a reduction in Fresnel losses at the interface between the device and the ambient and, 2) a change or increase in the angular bandwidth of light which may transmit power into the ambient. This latter effect may be thought of a change or increase in the escape cone at an interface. Both effects can result in an overall increase in total light extraction efficiency for the LED.

摘要: A fabrication method for providing a semiconductor light-emitting device includes growing a plurality of layers on a semiconductor substrate, including forming a lower cladding layer and an active region for generating lightwaves. A laminated cladding structure is formed on the active region. The laminated cladding structure includes a lower layer that is substantially aluminum-free to inhibit oxidation and includes an upper layer that is aluminum-bearing in order to promote oxidation. The upper layer of the lamination is oxidized along selected first regions and is selectively masked to prevent oxidation for second regions. The oxidation of the first region is carried out under conditions such that a native oxide is formed throughout the thickness of the first regions. Electrical current to the active region for operating the light-emitting device is channeled via the unoxidized region of the upper layer of the lamination. In a preferred embodiment, the device is an InGaAsP-AlInAs-InP laser. Other electronic devices, such as FETs, can be also formed using the top-down approach. Preferably, oxidation is limited to an upper III-V semiconductor layer by forming a lower III-V semiconductor layer that includes In and/or P. Lateral oxidation can also be realized using this approach.

The device includes a semiconductor structure comprising an AlGaInP light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. N- and p-contacts electrically connected to the n- and p-type regions are both formed on the same side of the semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure is connected to a mount via the contacts. A growth substrate is removed from the semiconductor structure and a thick transparent substrate is omitted, such that the total thickness of semiconductor layers in the device is less than 15 μm some embodiments, less than 10 μm in some embodiments. The top side of the semiconductor structure may be textured.

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.
