Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor layer includes following steps. First, an epitaxial substrate having at least a first growth region and at least a second growth region is provided. An area ratio of C plane to R plane in the first growth region is greater than 52/48. An epitaxial process is then performed on the epitaxial substrate to form a semiconductor layer. During the epitaxial process, a semiconductor material is selectively grown on the first growth region, and then the semiconductor material is laterally overgrown on the second growth region and covers the same.

The method includes providing a first lighting unit and a second lighting unit; detecting whether or not the power switch has been turned on; and gradually adjusting a light mixing ratio between the first lighting unit and the second lighting unit according to a turn-on duration of the power switch and storing a color temperature value, accordingly.
Abstract:
An exemplary embodiment illustrates a zener diode structure, wherein the zener diode structure includes a first-type semiconductor layer, a second-type semiconductor layer, a first electrode, a second electrode, and an insulation layer. The second-type semiconductor layer is disposed in a designated area in the first-type semiconductor layer. The first electrode is disposed on the bottom side of the first-type semiconductor layer. The second electrode is disposed above the first-type and the second-type semiconductor layers in corresponding to the central area of the second-type semiconductor layer. The insulation layer is disposed above the first-type and the second-type semiconductor layers surrounding the second electrode. The disclosed zener structure having the insulation layer can reduce the short circuit issue resulting from overflow of an adhesive material during the zener diode packaging process.
Abstract:
A solid-state light-emitting package includes a leadframe, a light-emitting chip, and a sealant. The leadframe includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode has at least one first contact end, and the second electrode has at least one second contact end. The light-emitting chip is electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode and is disposed between the first contact end and the second contact end. The sealant covers the leadframe and the light-emitting chip and has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is the light output surface for the light-emitting chip. The first electrode and the second electrode are bent toward the first surface, where the first contact end and the second contact end are exposed by the first surface.
Abstract:
An LED package including a lead-frame, at least an LED chip and an encapsulant is provided. The lead-frame has a roughened surface, the LED chip is disposed on the lead-frame and electrically connected to the lead-frame, and the roughened surface is suitable to scatter the light emitted from the LED chip. In addition, the encapsulant encapsulates the LED chip and a part of the lead-frame, and the rest part of the lead-frame is exposed out of the encapsulant.
Abstract:
A dicing process is provided for cutting a wafer along a plurality of predetermined scribe lines into a plurality of dies that are releasably adhered to a release film. The dicing process includes: (a) disposing a wafer-breaking carrier on a supporting device, the wafer-breaking carrier having a chipping unit; (b) disposing the wafer above the supporting device such that the chipping unit is at a position corresponding to the scribe lines; and (c) adhering a release surface of the release film to the wafer by applying a force to the release film to contact the chipping unit of the wafer-breaking carrier with the wafer, such that the wafer is split along the scribe lines into the dies.
