Solid state lights (SSLs) including a back-to-back solid state emitters (SSEs) and associated methods are disclosed herein. In various embodiments, an SSL can include a carrier substrate having a first surface and a second surface different from the first surface. First and second through substrate interconnects (TSIs) can extend from the first surface of the carrier substrate to the second surface. The SSL can further include a first and a second SSE, each having a front side and a back side opposite the front side. The back side of the first SSE faces the first surface of the carrier substrate and the first SSE is electrically coupled to the first and second TSIs. The back side of the second SSE faces the second surface of the carrier substrate and the second SSE is electrically coupled to the first and second TSIs.

摘要:
A method of compensating resistivity of a near-surface region of a substrate includes epitaxially growing a buffer layer on the substrate, wherein the buffer is grown as having a dopant concentration as dependent on resistivity and conductivity of the substrate, so as to deplete residual or excess charge within the near-surface region of the substrate. The dopant profile of the buffer layer be smoothly graded, or may consist of sub-layers of different dopant concentration, to also provide a highly resistive upper portion of the buffer layer ideal for subsequent device growth. Also, the buffer layer may be doped with carbon, and aluminum may be used to getter the carbon during epitaxial growth.

Various embodiments of light emitting devices with built-in chromaticity conversion and associated methods of manufacturing are described herein. In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a light emitting device includes forming a first semiconductor material, an active region, and a second semiconductor material on a substrate material in sequence, the active region being configured to produce a first emission. A conversion material is then formed on the second semiconductor material. The conversion material has a crystalline structure and is configured to produce a second emission. The method further includes adjusting a characteristic of the conversion material such that a combination of the first and second emission has a chromaticity at least approximating a target chromaticity of the light emitting device.

A dimpled substrate and method of making including a substrate of high thermal conductivity having a first main surface and a second main surface opposite the first main surface. Active epitaxial layers are formed on the first main surface of the substrate. Dimples are formed as extending from the second main surface into the substrate toward the first main surface. An electrical contact of low resistance material is disposed on the second main surface and within the dimples. A back contact of low resistance and low loss is thus provided while maintaining the substrate as an effective heat sink.
