  • Publication number: 20140017837
    Abstract: Methods of cutting silicon substrates having a light-emitting element package. The method includes preparing a silicon substrate on which a plurality of light-emitting element chips are mounted and a transparent material layer that covers the light-emitting element chips is formed; removing the transparent material layer between the light-emitting element chips along a predetermined cutting line by using a mechanical cutting method; forming a scribing line corresponding to the predetermined cutting line on the silicon substrate by using a laser processing method; and cutting the silicon substrate to form individual light-emitting element packages by applying a mechanical impact to the silicon substrate along the scribing line. The method may enhance productivity of a cutting process of light-emitting element packages, and may prevent damage or transformation of the transparent material layer.

  • Publication number: 20130307003
    Abstract: A light-emitting device package may include a pre-mold and a molding member. The pre-mold may include an upper body having a inclined (e.g., concavely) plane from which a plurality of vertical holes passing through the upper body are formed and a lower body having an upper surface that meets the inclined (e.g., concavely) plane under the upper body to form a concave unit. The molding member may fill the plurality of vertical holes and the concave unit.

  • Publication number: 20130260488
    Abstract: Provided are a CVD apparatus and a method of manufacturing a light emitting device using the same. The CVD apparatus includes a chamber body including a susceptor having at least one pocket part having a wafer stably mounted therein; a chamber cover provided with the chamber body to open or close the chamber body and having a reaction space between the susceptor and the chamber cover; a reactive gas supplier supplying the reactive gas into the reaction space to allow the reactive gas to flow across a surface of the susceptor; and a non-reactive gas supplier supplying a non-reactive gas into the reaction space to allow the non-reactive gas to flow across a surface of the chamber cover between the susceptor and the chamber cover so as to prevent the reactive gas from contacting the surface of the chamber cover.

  • Patent number: 7650687
    Abstract: Provided are a die attaching apparatus, a cleaning system and a method having components which can be easily replaced with new ones adapted to various packages within a short period of time. Surfaces of a die pressing member and a heat plate are prevented from being contaminated. The die pressing member is detachably attached to a lower end of an attaching unit which may directly apply a pressure to dies. A heat plate grinder on which a grinding apparatus for grinding the heat plate is mounted is spaced a predetermined distance from the die pressing member. A heat plate cleaner is attached to a side wall of the heat plate grinder and removes residues remaining on the heat plate.
