Publication number: 20100237367Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) package includes a carrier, an LED chip, an encapsulant, a plurality of phosphor particles, and a plurality of anti-humidity particles. The LED chip is disposed on and electrically connected to the carrier. The encapsulant encapsulates the LED chip.

Publication number: 20090256159Abstract: This invention discloses a GaN semiconductor device comprising a substrate; a metal-rich nitride compound thin film on the substrate; a buffer layer formed on the metal-rich nitride compound thin film, and a semiconductor stack layer on the buffer layer wherein the metal-dominated nitride compound thin film covers a partial upper surface of the substrate.
