Abstract: Solid state lights (SSLs) including a back-to-back solid state emitters (SSEs) and associated methods are disclosed herein. In various embodiments, an SSL can include a carrier substrate having a first surface and a second surface different from the first surface. First and second through substrate interconnects (TSIs) can extend from the first surface of the carrier substrate to the second surface. The SSL can further include a first and a second SSE, each having a front side and a back side opposite the front side. The back side of the first SSE faces the first surface of the carrier substrate and the first SSE is electrically coupled to the first and second TSIs. The back side of the second SSE faces the second surface of the carrier substrate and the second SSE is electrically coupled to the first and second TSIs.
Abstract: A laser processing apparatus in which a workpiece is placed on a work support base that supports the workpiece at a plurality of support points and performs, while moving a processing head in a horizontal direction with respect to the workpiece, laser processing on the workpiece on the work support base by the processing head, includes a tilt judging unit that judges, based on a positional relationship between a product chip that is to be separated from the workpiece when the workpiece is subjected to laser processing and support points, whether the product chip tilts in a height direction and projects upward on a side of the processing head from the workpiece before laser processing; and a drive control unit that controls a height of the processing head with respect to the workpiece when moving the processing head to a processing position for a next product chip after completing laser processing on the product chip based on a judgment result of the tilt judging unit.
