  • Patent number: 8269409
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a process of mixing a luminous substance in powder form to a transferable grade molding compound in a pelletized or powder form, such as a clear epoxy, to derive a homogeneous mixture that can be pressed and sintered into solid pellets. The solid pellets are further processed so as to permit their deposition on and around a light emitting semiconductor driver so as to obtain a white light emitting semiconductor device. This white light emitting device can be used in a variety of lighting applications.

  • Patent number: 7741706
    Abstract: A low profile, 1 or 2 die design, surface mount high power microelectronic package with coefficient of expansion (CTE) matched materials such as Silicon die to Molybdenum conductor (bond pads). The CTE matching of the materials in the package enables the device to withstand repeated, extreme temperature range cycling without failing or cracking. The package can be used for transient voltage suppression (TVS), Schottky diode, rectifier diode, or high voltage diodes, among other uses. The use of a heat sink metal conductor that has a very high modulus of elasticity allows for a very thin wall plastic locking to be utilized in order to minimize the footprint of the package.

  • Publication number: 20020121683
    Abstract: An semiconductor device package (10) with improved thermal properties that limits unwanted parasitics and provides a more consistent distribution of parasitics from one device to another. The package of the present invention (10) is extremely compact and uses, in one embodiment, a minimal length of bond wires (20 and 22) between the terminals (14 and 16) and the attached device (30). The path length of the package (10) is reduced so as to represent only some fraction of a wavelength relative to the terminals (14 and 16) of the package (10). By reducing the length of the bond wires (20 and 22) and selecting the appropriate dielectric constant of the encapsulant (12), the invention provides a package (10) with a unique hexagonal structure that limits the effects of parasitics and provides good thermal dissipation. In a second and third embodiment of the present invention, the semiconductor device package (10) is useful in optoelectronic devices such light emitting diodes with an anode (71) and a cathode (72).
