  • Patent number: 7265374
    Abstract: A novel NPBL and ANPL light emitting semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the same are provided. In the present invention, plural nano-particles are applied in the active layer of the light emitting semiconductor device, so that the leakage current thereof is reduced. In addition, the provided light emitting semiconductor device fabricated via a planar technology process is microscopically planar, but not planar at micro- and nano-scale. Hence the parasitic wave guiding effect, which suppresses the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting semiconductor device, is destroyed thereby.

  • Patent number: 7012796
    Abstract: An electrostatic discharge protection apparatus is described. A multi-hole conductive layer is placed between a multi-hole structure and an electronic element of an electronic device. The multi-hole electric conductive layer contacts a conductive layer on the inside surface of a case of the electronic device. It dissipates the electric charges accumulated on the multi-hole structure because of a lack of the conductive layer, and thus prevents the accumulated electric charges from discharging to damage the electronic element.
