  • Patent number: 12009465
    Abstract: In a flip-chip LED assembly having an array of LEDs formed on the same substrate, different LEDs of the array have different distances to the n-contacts of the assembly. This may cause current crowding as current has to spread from the n-contacts through the substrate to each the farthest LEDs of the LED array, requiring LEDs that are farther away to be driven with a higher voltage in order to receive a desired amount of current. To spread current more evenly through the LED assembly and reduce a voltage difference between the closest and farthest LEDs of the array, a current spreading layer having a conductive material (e.g., a conductive oxide) is formed on a surface of the substrate of the LED assembly. The current spreading layer may be a bulk layer or be patterned to increase light extraction from the LEDs of the array.
