    摘要: Devices and techniques for fabricating InAlGaN light-emitting devices are described that result from the removal of light-emitting layers from the sapphire growth substrate. In several embodiments, techniques for fabricating a vertical InAlGaN light-emitting diode structure that result in improved performance and or cost-effectiveness are described. Furthermore, metal bonding, substrate liftoff, and a novel RIE device separation technique are employed to efficiently produce vertical GaN LEDs on a substrate chosen for its thermal conductivity and ease of fabrication.

    摘要: A solderable light-emitting diode (LED) chip and a method of fabricating an LED lamp embodying the LED chip utilize a diffusion barrier that appreciably blocks molecular migration between two different layers of the LED chip during high temperature processes. In the preferred embodiment, the two different layers of the LED chip are a back reflector and a solder layer. The prevention of intermixing of the materials in the back reflector and the solder layer impedes degradation of the back reflector with respect to its ability to reflect light emitted by the LED. The LED chip includes a high power AlInGaP LED or other type of LED, a back reflector, a diffusion barrier and a solder layer. Preferably, the back reflector is composed of silver (Ag) or Ag alloy and the solder layer is made of indium (In), lead (Pb), gold (Au), tin (Sn), or their alloy and eutectics. In a first embodiment, the diffusion layer is made of nickel (Ni) or nickel-vanadium (NiV). In a second embodiment of the invention, the diffusion barrier is made of titanium-tungsten-nitride (TiW:N). In addition to preventing the intermixing of the In of the solder layer with the Ag of the back reflector, the diffusion layer prevents degradation of the Ag reflective properties in the back reflector upon exposure to air. In an alternative embodiment, the diffusion layer is made of a non-conductive material.

    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.
