摘要： Described is a process for forming an LED structure using a laser lift-off process to remove the growth substrate (e.g., sapphire) after the LED die is bonded to a submount. The underside of the LED die has formed on it anode and cathode electrodes that are substantially in the same plane, where the electrodes cover at least 85% of the back surface of the LED structure. The submount has a corresponding layout of anode and cathode electrodes substantially in the same plane. The LED die electrodes and submount electrodes are ultrasonically welded together such that virtually the entire surface of the LED die is supported by the electrodes and submount. Other bonding techniques may also be used. No underfill is used. The growth substrate, forming the top of the LED structure, is then removed from the LED layers using a laser lift-off process. The extremely high pressures created during the laser lift-off process do not damage the LED layers due to the large area support of the LED layers by the electrodes and submount.

摘要： Lenses and certain fabrication techniques are described. A wide-emitting lens refracts light emitted by an LED die to cause a peak intensity to occur within 50-80 degrees off the center axis and an intensity along the center axis to be between 5% and 33% of the peak intensity. The lens is particularly useful in a LCD backlighting application. In one embodiment, the lens is affixed to the backplane on which the LED die is mounted and surrounds the LED die. The lens has a hollow portion that forms an air gap between the LED die and the lens, where the light is bent towards the sides both at the air gap interface and the outer lens surface interface. The lens may be a secondary lens surrounding an interior lens molded directly over the LED die.

摘要： In one embodiment, sub-micron size granules of TiO2, ZrO2, or other white colored non-phosphor inert granules are mixed with a silicone encapsulant and applied over an LED. In one experiment, the granules increased the light output of a GaN LED more than 5% when the inert material was between about 2.5-5% by weight of the encapsulant. Generally, a percentage of the inert material greater than 5% begins to reduce the light output. If the LED has a yellowish YAG phosphor coating, the white granules in the encapsulant make the LED appear whiter when the LED is in an off state, which is a more pleasing color when the LED is used as a white light flash in small cameras. The addition of the granules also reduces the variation of color temperature over the view angle and position over the LED, which is important for a camera flash and projection applications.

摘要： Overmolded lenses and certain fabrication techniques are described for LED structures. In one embodiment, thin YAG phosphor plates are formed and affixed over blue LEDs mounted on a submount wafer. A clear lens is then molded over each LED structure during a single molding process. The LEDs are then separated from the wafer. The molded lens may include red phosphor to generate a warmer white light. In another embodiment, the phosphor plates are first temporarily mounted on a backplate, and a lens containing a red phosphor is molded over the phosphor plates. The plates with overmolded lenses are removed from the backplate and affixed to the top of an energizing LED. A clear lens is then molded over each LED structure. The shape of the molded phosphor-loaded lenses may be designed to improve the color vs. angle uniformity. Multiple dies may be encapsulated by a single lens. In another embodiment, a prefabricated collimating lens is glued to the flat top of an overmolded lens.

摘要： A technique for forming a white light LED is disclosed. In one embodiment, the LED emits blue light. A first phosphor for producing red, yellow, yellow-green, or green light is formed to conformably coat the LED die. One suitable deposition technique is electrophoretic deposition (EPD). Over the resulting LED structure is deposited another phosphor (to add the remaining color component) in a binder (e.g., silicone) for encapsulating the die. The blue LED light combines with the two phosphor colors to create white light. Since the two different deposition techniques are independent and easily controllable, the resulting white light temperature is highly controllable and the color emission is substantially uniform.

摘要： One or more LED dice are mounted on a support structure. The support structure may be a submount with the LED dice already electrically connected to leads on the submount. A mold has indentations in it corresponding to the positions of the LED dice on the support structure. The indentations are filled with a liquid optically transparent material, such as silicone, which when cured forms a lens material. The shape of the indentations will be the shape of the lens. The mold and the LED dice/support structure are brought together so that each LED die resides within the liquid silicone in an associated indentation. The mold is then heated to cure (harden) the silicone. The mold and the support structure are then separated, leaving a complete silicone lens over each LED die. This over molding process may be repeated with different molds to create concentric shells of lenses. Each concentric lens may have a different property, such as containing a phosphor, providing a special radiation pattern, having a different hardness value, or curable by a different technique (e.g., UV vs. heat).
