摘要:
A semiconductor wafer, substrate, and bonding structure is disclosed that includes a device wafer that includes, for example, a plurality of light emitting diodes, a contact metal layer (or layers) on one side of the device wafer opposite the light emitting diodes, and a bonding metal system on the contact metal layer that predominates by weight in nickel and tin.
摘要:
A light emitting diode structure is disclosed that includes a light emitting active portion formed of epitaxial layers and carrier substrate supporting the active portion. A bonding metal system that predominates in nickel and tin joins the active portion to the carrier substrate. At least one titanium adhesion layer is between the active portion and the carrier substrate and a platinum barrier layer is between the nickel-tin bonding system and the titanium adhesion layer. The platinum layer has a thickness sufficient to substantially prevent tin in the nickel tin bonding system from migrating into or through the titanium adhesion layer.

A light emitting diode is disclosed that emits light in the blue region of the visible spectrum with increased brightness and efficiency. The light emitting diode comprises an n-type silicon carbide substrate; an n-type silicon carbide top layer; and a light emitting p-n junction structure between the n-type substrate and the n-type top layer. The p-n junction structure is formed of respective portions of n-type silicon carbide and p-type silicon carbide. The diode further includes means between the n-type top layer and the n-type substrate for coupling the n-type top layer to the light-emitting p-n junction structure while preventing n-p-n behavior between the n-type top layer, the p-type layer in the junction structure, and the n-type substrate.
