The present invention is directed towards a source of ultraviolet energy, wherein the source is a UV-emitting LED's. In an embodiment of the invention, the UV-LED's are characterized by a base layer material including a substrate, a p-doped semiconductor material, a multiple quantum well, a n-doped semiconductor material, upon which base material a p-type metal resides and wherein the base structure has a mesa configuration, which mesa configuration may be rounded on a boundary surface, or which may be non-rounded, such as a mesa having an upper boundary surface that is flat. In other words, the p-type metal resides upon a mesa formed out of the base structure materials. In a more specific embodiment, the UV-LED structure includes n-type metallization layer, passivation layers, and bond pads positioned at appropriate locations of the device. In a more specific embodiment, the p-type metal layer is encapsulated in the encapsulating layer.
摘要:
A lens and encapsulant made of an amorphous fluoropolymer for a light-emitting diode (LED) or diode laser, such as an ultraviolet (UV) LED (UVLED). A semiconductor diode die (114) is formed by growing a diode (110) on a substrate layer (115) such as sapphire. The diode die (114) is flipped so that it emits light (160, 365) through the face (150) of the layer (115). An amorphous fluoropolymer encapsulant encapsulates the emitting face of the diode die (114), and may be shaped as a lens to form an integral encapsulant/lens. Or, a lens (230, 340) of amorphous fluoropolymer may be joined to the encapsulant (220). Additional joined or separate lenses (350) may also be used. The encapsulant/lens is transmissive to UV light as well as infrared light. Encapsulating methods are also provided.
