  • Patent number: 11677051
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed towards enhanced systems and methods for applying underfill (UF) material to fill a gap between electrically coupled semiconductor devices in an integrated device. In some embodiments, uncured UF material may be applied to one edge of the gap, and capillary flow may be employed to distribute the uncured UF material into a first portion of the gap. To fill a second portion of the gap, accelerated motion may be employed. For example, the integrated device may be affixed to a centrifuge, and the centrifuge can be used to spin the integrated device to spread the uncured UF material further into the gap. In some embodiments, the accelerated motion may be employed to distribute the uncured UF material substantially uniformly within the gap. Once the uncured UF material has been spread out, one or more curing processes may be employed to cure the sandwiched UF material.

  • Patent number: 11641007
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a semiconductor diode structure with one or more light-emitting active layers, an anti-reflection coating on its front surface, and a redirection layer on its back surface. Active-layer output light propagates within the diode structure. The anti-reflection coating on the front surface increases transmission of active-layer output light incident below the critical angle ?C. Active-layer output light incident on the redirection layer at an incidence angle greater than ?C is redirected to propagate toward the front surface at an incidence angle that is less than ?C. Device output light is transmitted by the front surface to propagate in an ambient medium, and includes first and second portions of the active-layer output light incident on the front surface at an incidence angle less than ?C, the first portion without redirection by the redirection layer and the second portion with redirection by the redirection layer.
