Patent number: 8399273Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) device is provided. The LED device has a lower LED layer and an upper LED layer with a light-emitting layer interposed therebetween. A current blocking layer is formed in the upper LED layer such that current passing between an electrode contacting the upper LED layer flows around the current blocking layer. When the current blocking layer is positioned between the electrode and the light-emitting layer, the light emitted by the light-emitting layer is not blocked by the electrode and the light efficiency is increased. The current blocking layer may be formed by converting a portion of the upper LED layer into a resistive region. In an embodiment, ions such as magnesium, carbon, or silicon are implanted into the upper LED layer to form the current blocking layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2009Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: TSMC Solid State Lighting Ltd.Inventors: Ding-Yuan Chen, Chen-Hua Yu, Wen-Chih Chiou
