    摘要: In one aspect of the invention, a light-emitting semiconductor device has a light-emitting layer with a certain bandgap energy, an upper cladding layer with a higher bandgap energy, a first diffusion area extending into the light-emitting layer, a second diffusion area extending only into the upper cladding layer, and an electrode making contact with the second diffusion area, without covering any part of the first diffusion area. The second diffusion area conducts current to the first diffusion area, where light is emitted from a pn junction in the light-emitting layer. In another aspect of the invention, a semiconductor contact layer is provided to assure ohmic contact with the electrode, and the semiconductor contact layer is removed from the light-emitting area, avoiding absorption of light.

    摘要: A light emitting element module is provided including a board and plural chips arranged in the form of an array on the board. Each chip includes at least one light emitting element having a light emitting function and/or a photosensing function. The chips are arranged on the board so that the upper surfaces of adjacent chips which are located opposite to the board are positionally displaced in the height direction of the chips by at least the distance corresponding to the thickness of the chips. This uneven chip arrangement in the height direction may be established by alternately arranging thicker chips and thinner chips on the board.

    摘要: A light-emitting-diode array includes a non-doped compound semiconductor layer between a substrate and a first compound semiconductor layer. A plurality of isolation regions extend from the first compound semiconductor layer to the surface of the non-doped compound semiconductor layer, and provide separation into isolated block regions each containing an equal number of diffusion regions. A plurality of shared electrode lines are connected to the diffusion regions in a plurality of the block regions, in such a relationship that diffusion regions selected from each of the block regions are connected to a common shared electrode. At least a surface portion of the substrate is formed of silicon. The density of the diffusion regions can be increased without increasing the number of the electrode pads. Moreover, the substrate is free from breakage or cracks.

    摘要: According to the present invention, a light-emitting semiconductor device has light-emitting elements separated by isolation trenches, preferably on two sides of each light-emitting element. The device may be fabricated by forming a single band-shaped diffusion region, then forming trenches that divide the diffusion region into multiple regions, or by forming individual diffusion regions and then forming trenches between them. The trenches prevent overlap between adjacent light-emitting elements, regardless of their junction depth, enabling a high-density array to be fabricated while maintaining adequate junction depth.
