Devices produced accordingly may benefit from greater yields and enhanced performance over conventional metal devices, such as higher brightness of the light-emitting diode and increased thermal conductivity. Moreover, the invention discloses techniques in the fabrication arts that are applicable to GaN-based electronic devices in cases where there is a high heat dissipation rate of the metal devices that have an original non-(or low) thermally conductive and/or non-(or low) electrically conductive carrier substrate that has been removed.
摘要:
Methods for fabricating a semiconductor light-emitting diode (LED) device with increased light extraction are provided. The method generally includes applying a mask to a surface of an LED wafer, etching the surface of the LED wafer such that etched pits are formed in the surface, removing the mask, and roughening or texturing the surface of the LED wafer including the etched pits. In this manner, the surface area of the LED device may be increased when compared to a conventional LED device, and less emitted light may experience total internal reflection (TIR) according to Snell's law, thereby leading to increased light extraction.

A vertical light emitting diode (VLED) die includes a metal base; a mirror on the metal base; a p-type semiconductor layer on the reflector layer; a multiple quantum well (MQW) layer on the p-type semiconductor layer configured to emit light; and an n-type semiconductor layer on the multiple quantum well (MQW) layer. The vertical light emitting diode (VLED) die also includes an electrode and an electrode frame on the n-type semiconductor layer, and an organic or inorganic material contained within the electrode frame. The electrode and the electrode frame are configured to provide a high current capacity and to spread current from the outer periphery to the center of the n-type semiconductor layer. The vertical light emitting diode (VLED) die can also include a passivation layer formed on the metal base surrounding and electrically insulating the electrode frame, the edges of the mirror, the edges of the p-type semiconductor layer, the edges of the multiple quantum well (MQW) layer and the edges of the n-type semiconductor layer.

摘要:
A method for the separation of multiple dies during semiconductor fabrication is described. On an upper surface of a semiconductor wafer containing multiple dies, metal layers are deposited everywhere except where a block of stop electroplating material exists. The stop electroplating material is obliterated, and a barrier layer is formed above the entire remaining structure. A sacrificial metal element is added above the barrier layer, and then the substrate is removed. After the semiconductor material between the individual dies is eradicated, any desired bonding pads and patterned circuitry are added to the semiconductor surface opposite the sacrificial metal element, a passivation layer is added to this surface, and then the sacrificial metal element is removed. Tape is added to the now exposed barrier layer, the passivation layer is removed, the resulting structure is flipped over, and the tape is expanded to separate the individual dies.

A light emitting diode includes a thermal conductive substrate having at least one electrical isolation layer configured to provide vertical electrical isolation and a heat transfer path through the substrate from a front side (first side) to a back side (second side) thereof. The light emitting diode includes an anode having a through interconnect, and a cathode having a through interconnect, which are arranged side by side on the substrate. The light emitting diode also includes a LED chip mounted to the substrate between the anode and the cathode. A method for fabricating the light emitting diode includes the steps of providing a thermal conductive substrate having an electrical isolation layer, forming an anode via and a cathode via side by side on a first side of the substrate part way through the substrate, forming an anode through interconnect in the anode via and a cathode through interconnect in the cathode via, thinning the substrate from a second side of the substrate to the anode through interconnect and the cathode through interconnect, and mounting a LED chip to the first side in electrical communication with the cathode through interconnect and the anode through interconnect.
