  • Publication number: 20110033962
    Abstract: Provided are a high efficiency light emitting diode and a method for fabricating the same, in which a multi-layer reflector is laminated to a surface emission type light emitting diode to improve the efficiency of a light emitting diode. A high efficiency reflector is integrated on the light emitting diode using a dry etching process and a wet etching process. Although light produced from an active layer when applying a current thereto is emitted in several directions, the reflectors formed both sides of the active layer reflect the emitted light toward a surface of a semiconductor substrate, thus improving the light efficiency. Compared with the existing light emitting diode, the structure of the proposed light emitting diode is more efficient and therefore it can be used as a light source having low power consumption and high brightness. Also, the light emitting diode can be fabricated using the existing semiconductor process, thus reducing the complexity of the fabricating process.

  • Publication number: 20090175022
    Abstract: A method for allowing an easier electric connection between layers of a multi-layer package structure using a metal pin fabricated based on semiconductor device processes is provided. A metal pin having a high aspect ratio is formed on a lower substrate, while a via hole is formed in an upper substrate. The metal pin is inserted into the via hole and adhered together to make an electric connection between the lower and upper substrates. The metal pin is obtained by patterning a thick photoresist material and plating a material thereon. The metal pin may have a core member obtained by performing a plating process on the surface of a patterned polymer based pin. Solder or gold is used for adhesion and electric connection between the signal line and the metal pin. The above electric connection method can be simpler and have improved structural stability compared with the typical connection method.
