  • Patent number: 11621292
    Abstract: Pixelated array light emitters are formed with closely-spaced pixels having ultra-smooth sidewalk. In methods for making such pixelated array light emitters, a converter layer of phosphor particles dispersed in a binder is disposed on a carrier, and then singulated by saw cuts or similar methods to form an array of phosphor pixels. The binder is fully cured prior to singulation of the converter layer. Further, the carrier is rigid rather than flexible. As a consequence of fully curing the binder and of using a rigid carrier to support the converter layer, singulation results in phosphor pixels having smooth side walls. The array of phosphor pixels is subsequently attached to a corresponding array of LEDs with an adhesive layer, separate from the binder used to form the converter layer. The pixel sidewalls may be formed with controlled morphology, for example at acute or obtuse angles with respect to the carrier.

  • Patent number: 11545404
    Abstract: Before a semiconductor die of a brittle III-V compound semiconductor is encapsulated with a molding compound during package fabrication, side surfaces of the semiconductor die are treated to avoid or prevent surface imperfections from propagating and fracturing the crystal structure of the substrate of the III-V compound semiconductor under the stresses applied as the molding compound solidifies. Surfaces are treated to form a passivation layer, which may be a passivated layer of the substrate or a passivation material on the substrate. In a passivated layer, imperfections of an external layer are transformed to be less susceptible to fracture. Passivation material, such as a poly-crystalline layer on the substrate surface, diffuses stresses that are applied by the molding compound. Semiconductor dies in flip-chip and wire-bond chip packages with treated side surfaces as disclosed have a reduced incidence of failure caused by die fracturing.
