    Abstract: A surface mount LED apparatus is provided which can prevent separation of the surface of an LED chip from a sealing resin portion. Patterned circuits on a substrate are provided with a device mounting region and a wire bond region, and an increased-thickness portion having a thickness 1.6 times or more than the greater of the thickness of the device mounting region and the thickness of the wire bond region. When the apparatus is heated, this configuration allows for inducing interfacial separation between the increased-thickness portion and the sealing resin portion earlier than interfacial separation is induced between the LED chip and the sealing resin portion. This configuration can prevent interfacial separation between the LED chip and the sealing resin portion.

  • Patent number: 7476913
    Abstract: A light emitting device has a cup portion with a bottom surface opening, and one electrode of a light emitting element is connected to the cup portion. The other electrode of the light emitting element is connected to a lead set up from an inner space to outside the cup portion using the opening of the cup portion. Each electrode and lead of the light emitting device can be electrically connected without bonding wires. This prevents shadows or light unevenness from reflecting the shape of the bonding wire, thereby enhancing light-emission efficiency. As an alternative to setting up the lead from inside to the outside of the cup portion, the lead existing outside the cup portion and the other electrode are electrically connected via the bonding wire through the cup portion's opening. Thus, light outputted outside of the light emitting device is not intercepted by the bonding wire.

  • Patent number: 7317199
    Abstract: To provide a circuit device suitable for incorporating a semiconductor element emitting or receiving short-wavelength light. The circuit device includes a casing, a semiconductor element, and a cover portion. The casing has an opening on the top face thereof. The semiconductor element is incorporated in the casing and emits or receives light. The cover portion is made of a material transparent to the light and covers the opening. In the periphery of the opening, a concave portion is provided, and a portion of the cover portion with a certain thickness on the bottom side is accommodated in the concave portion. Since the portion of the cover portion with the certain thickness on the bottom side is accommodated in the concave portion provided in the upper portion of the casing, the position of the cover portion is accurately fixed. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain accurate relative positions of the semiconductor element accommodated within the casing and the cover portion.

  • Publication number: 20070262338
    Abstract: An LED chip of the present invention has a structure in which an n-type semiconductor layer and a p-type semiconductor layer are successively formed on the lower face of an element substrate, with the p-type semiconductor layer being formed on an area except for an area for an n-electrode. A first n-electrode is formed on the area for the n-electrode and a first p-electrode is formed on the p-type semiconductor layer. A first insulating layer having openings and is formed on the first n-electrode and the first p-electrode, and a second n-electrode and a second p-electrode having virtually the same size are formed on the first insulating layer. With this arrangement, the electrode on the n-type semiconductor layer can be made larger, thereby a mounting process of LED chips onto a circuit board can be executed by using solder at low costs.

  • Patent number: 7276782
    Abstract: A package structure for a semiconductor is described. The advantages thereof are that it has a great structural strength and when being penetrated by light, it will not be influenced by external light and can condense the light. Therefore, it is not easily be deformed so that the yield and quality of package can be increased, and when packaging an LED chip, it easily meets the package requirements of an electronic chip. In addition, the substrate structure is cheaper than the prior art, because a double-layered substrate is employed to improve the strength, and the package structure is also preferred because an external frame device is additionally used for preventing interference by external light. The package structure for the semiconductor has a substrate, an external frame device and a polymer filler.
