  • Publication number: 20130328098
    Abstract: A buffer layer structure for an LED is provided. The LED includes a P-type electrode, a permanent substrate, a binding layer, a buffer layer, a mirror layer, a P-type semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer, an N-type semiconductor layer, and an N-type electrode that are stacked in sequence. The buffer layer is a composite material, and includes at least one first material and at least one second material that are alternately stacked. The first material and the second material are mutually diffused to generate gradient variation after the buffer layer is processed by a thermal treatment. Thus, an interface effect and thermal stress between difference interfaces are eliminated, and a channel for ion diffusion is blocked for enhancing light-emitting efficiency of the LED.

  • Patent number: 8552457
    Abstract: A thermal stress releasing structure is applied to a light-emitting diode (LED) which includes a P-type electrode, a permanent substrate, a binding layer, a buffer layer, a mirror layer, a P-type semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer, an N-type semiconductor layer, and an N-type electrode that are stacked in sequence. The buffer layer includes a plurality of first material layers and a plurality of second material layers. The first material layers and the second material layers are alternately stacked in a staggered manner to form a concave-convex structure in a stacking direction of the first and second material layers. The concave-convex structure is formed in a corrugated shape to function as the thermal stress releasing structure, thus is capable of releasing thermal stress generated by thermal expansion and contraction of the buffer layer in the LED to prevent the buffer layer from damaging a metal layer or an epitaxy layer.

  • Patent number: 8546831
    Abstract: A reflection convex mirror structure is applied to a vertical light-emitting diode (LED) which comprises a P-type electrode, a permanent substrate, a binding layer, a buffer layer, a mirror layer, a P-type semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer, an N-type semiconductor layer and an N-type electrode that are stacked in sequence. Between the P-type semiconductor layer and the mirror layer, a filler and a mirror are disposed right below the N-type electrode. The filler is made of a transparent material and has a convex surface facing the light-emitting layer. The mirror is formed on the convex surface of the filler. By utilizing the filler and the mirror to form the reflection convex mirror structure, excited light is reflected towards two sides, so that the excited light can dodge the N-type electrode without being shielded to increase light extraction efficiency.

  • Patent number: 8158998
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a high-reflectivity and low-defect density LED structure. A patterned dielectric layer is embedded in a sapphire substrate via semiconductor processes, such as etching and deposition. The dielectric layer is formed of two materials which are alternately stacked and have different refractive indexes. An N-type semiconductor layer, an activation layer and a light emitting layer which is a P-type semiconductor layer are sequentially formed on the sapphire substrate. An N-type electrode and a P-type electrode are respectively coated on the N-type semiconductor layer and the P-type semiconductor layer. The dielectric layer can lower the defect density of the light emitting layer during the epitaxial growth process. Further, the dielectric layer can function as a high-reflectivity area to reflect light generated by the light emitting layer and the light is projected downward to be emitted from the top or the lateral. Thereby is greatly increased the light-extraction efficiency.

  • Patent number: 7955951
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an LED-laser lift-off method, which applies to lift off a transient substrate from an epitaxial layer grown on the transient substrate after a support substrate having an adhesion metal layer is bonded to the epitaxial layer. Firstly, the epitaxial layer is etched to define separation channels around each chip section, and the epitaxial layer between two separation channels is not etched but preserved to form a separation zone. Each laser illumination area only covers one illuminated chip section, the separation channels surrounding the illuminated chip section, and the separation zones surrounding the illuminated chip section. Thus, the adhesion metal layer on the separation channels is only heated once. Further, the outward stress generated by the illuminated chip section is counterbalanced by the outward stress generated by the illuminated separation zones, and the stress-induced structural damage on the chip section is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7956282
    Abstract: A photoelectric conversion element comprises a solar-energy epitaxial layer, a bond layer and a LED epitaxial layer, which are stacked sequentially. The bond layer has a plurality of holes allowing light to pass. The solar-energy epitaxial layer receives light via the holes and generates electric energy, and an external secondary battery stores the electric energy. When environmental illumination disappears, the LED epitaxial layer is powered by the external secondary battery to emit light. When the photoelectric conversion element of the present invention applies to outdoor traffic signs, advertisement signboards and indicators, they can operate without external power supply.

  • Publication number: 20100019222
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a low-temperature light-emitting-diode chip metal bonding layer, which comprises: a first metal layer formed on the joint surface of an LED epitaxial layer and containing an ITO layer, a silver layer, a titanium layer, a platinum layer and a gold layer sequentially arranged from the LED epitaxial layer; and a second metal layer formed on the joint surface of the substrate and containing a titanium layer, a gold layer and an indium layer sequentially arranged from the substrate. Because of the low melting point of the indium layer, the bonding process of the substrate and the LED chip epitaxial layer can be undertaken at a relatively low temperature. Therefore, the present invention can prevent the film structures from being damaged by high temperature and can raise the yield of metal bonding LED chips.
