    摘要: Methods of fabricating relaxed layers of semiconductor materials include forming structures of a semiconductor material overlying a layer of a compliant material, and subsequently altering a viscosity of the compliant material to reduce strain within the semiconductor material. The compliant material may be reflowed during deposition of a second layer of semiconductor material. The compliant material may be selected so that, as the second layer of semiconductor material is deposited, a viscosity of the compliant material is altered imparting relaxation of the structures. In some embodiments, the layer of semiconductor material may comprise a III-V type semiconductor material, such as, for example, indium gallium nitride. Methods of fabricating semiconductor structures and devices are also disclosed. Novel intermediate structures are formed during such methods. Engineered substrates include a plurality of structures comprising a semiconductor material disposed on a layer of material exhibiting a changeable viscosity.

    摘要: A device is provided with at least one light emitting device (LED) die mounted on a submount with an optical element subsequently thermally bonded to the LED die. The LED die is electrically coupled to the submount through contact bumps that have a higher temperature melting point than is used to thermally bond the optical element to the LED die. In one implementation, a single optical element is bonded to a plurality of LED dice that are mounted to the submount and the submount and the optical element have approximately the same coefficients of thermal expansion. Alternatively, a number of optical elements may be used. The optical element or LED die may be covered with a coating of wavelength converting material. In one implementation, the device is tested to determine the wavelengths produced and additional layers of the wavelength converting material are added until the desired wavelengths are produced.

    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.
