  • Patent number: 8378370
    Abstract: A LED package structure includes a substrate, a LED chip and a colloid. The substrate includes a first surface and a second surface. An opening is shaped from the first surface toward the second surface. A phosphor layer is coated on the bottom surface with two opposite parts of the bottom surface respectively neighboring to two opposite side walls of the opening exposed. A metal layer is coated on the two exposed opposite parts of the bottom surface, the two opposite side walls and the first surface. The LED chip is received in the opening and configured on the phosphor layer. The LED chip includes a pair of conductive pads electrically connecting to the metal layer. The colloid is filled between the LED chip and the metal layer to attach the substrate to the LED chip.

  • Patent number: 8373227
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises a substrate including a first region and a second region of a first conductivity type and a third region between the first and second regions of a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type, and being covered by a dielectric layer. A plurality of trenches laterally extend between the third and second region, are filled with an insulating material, and are separated by active stripes with a doping profile having a depth not exceeding the depth of the trenches wherein each trench terminates before reaching the dielectric layer and is separated from the third region by a substrate portion such that the respective boundaries between the substrate portions and the trenches are not covered by the dielectric layer. A method for manufacturing such a semiconductor device is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8368167
    Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention disclose a semiconductor device and a method for forming the semiconductor device. Wherein the semiconductor comprises: a first semiconductor layer, having a first conductivity type on a semiconductor substrate, a guard ring region, formed in the surface of the first semiconductor layer, having a second conductivity type; a Schottky diode metal contact, coupled to the first semiconductor layer, wherein the guard ring region is at periphery of the Schottky diode interface, and wherein the Schottky diode metal contact has no direct electrical connection with the guard ring region; and an electrical resistance module, coupled between the Schottky diode metal contact and the guard ring. Due to the ballasting effect from the electrical resistance module, the minority injection or the parasitic transistor action are alleviated. Thus, forward current capability is extended without introducing significant minority injection.
