Patent number: 11145794Abstract: Light Emitting Devices (LEDs) are fabricated on a wafer substrate with one or more thick metal layers that provide structural support to each LED. The streets, or lanes, between individual LEDs do not include this metal, and the wafer can be easily sliced/diced into singulated self-supporting LEDs. Because these devices are self-supporting, a separate support submount is not required. Before singulation, further processes may be applied at the wafer-level; after singulation, these self-supporting LEDs may be picked and placed upon an intermediate substrate for further processing as required. In an embodiment of this invention, protective optical domes are formed over the light emitting devices at the wafer-level or while the light emitting devices are situated on the intermediate substrate.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2017Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Lumileds LLCInventors: Salman Akram, Jyoti Kiron Bhardwaj
