  • Patent number: 9401465
    Abstract: The present invention includes an N-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, a P-type semiconductor layer, a metal mirror layer, a protection adhesive layer and a metal buffer layer that are sequentially stacked. The protection adhesive layer is selected from a group consisting of a metal oxide and a metal nitride, fully covers one side of the metal mirror layer away from the P-type semiconductor layer, and includes a plurality of conductive holes. The metal buffer layer penetrates through the conductive holes to be electrically connected to the metal mirror layer. After forming the metal mirror layer on the P-type semiconductor layer, the protection adhesive layer that fully covers the metal mirror layer is directly formed to thoroughly protect the metal mirror layer by using the protection adhesive layer, thereby maintaining a reflection rate of the metal mirror layer and ensuring light emitting efficiency of a light emitting diode.

  • Patent number: 9322548
    Abstract: A combustor applied in thermophotovoltaic system comprises a combustion device and a reversed tube covering the combustion device. The combustion device includes a combustion body made of a transparent and temperature resistant material and a burning unit disposed in the combustion body. When a burning-supported medium is adopted during burning via the burning unit, the radiant intensity is increased. The reversed tube then further redirects the hot product gas for reheating an outer wall of the combustion body in combustion. Therefore, uniform illumination is accordingly resulted for enhancing the radiant intensity. Accordingly, a photovoltaic cell plate connected to the combustor preferably transforms light into electricity. The present invention fully utilizes a micro system as well as miniature energy to offer advanced electricity.

  • Patent number: 9263641
    Abstract: An electric contact structure adopted for an LED comprises a nitride middle layer and an N-type metal electrode layer. The LED includes an N-type semiconductor layer, a light emission layer and a P-type semiconductor layer that are stacked to form a sandwich structure. The nitride middle layer is patterned and formed on the N-type semiconductor layer. The N-type metal electrode layer is formed on the nitride middle layer and prevented from being damaged by diffusion of the metal ions as the nitride middle layer serves as a blocking interface, thus electric property of the N-type semiconductor layer can be maintained stable. The nitride middle layer would not be softened and condensed due to long-term high temperature, thereby is enhanced adhesion. Moreover, the N-type metal electrode layer further can be prevented from peeling off, hence is increased the lifespan of the LED.

  • Patent number: 9224911
    Abstract: A method for separating a light-emitting diode (LED) from a substrate comprises the following steps. First, a substrate is provided which includes a junction surface and a bottom surface far away from the junction surface. Then a plurality holes are formed on the junction surface. An LED structure is further grown on the junction surface, and includes a junction portion bonded to the junction surface. The bottom surface is then polished to be shrunk to communicate with the holes. Finally, the junction portion is etched by an etching liquid via the holes to separate the LED structure from the substrate. Accordingly, by forming the holes, the LED structure and the substrate can be separated through polishing and etching processes, thereby providing a high yield rate as well as reduced production costs.
