  • Patent number: 10103108
    Abstract: A nanostructured chip includes a substrate and a nanostructured layer, wherein the substrate has a first surface and a second surface on which the nanostructured layer is formed. A method of producing the nanostructured chip includes the step of forming the nanostructured layer on the second surface of the substrate. Whereby, the nanostructured layer effectively disperses a stress to increase the flexural strength of the nanostructured chip. Therefore, during the subsequent procedures to form an epitaxial layer on the first surface, the nanostructured layer is helpful to prevent the epitaxial layer from generating cracks, and prevent the substrate from bowings, or fragments.

  • Patent number: 8368099
    Abstract: A light emitting device and a fabricating method thereof are described. The light emitting device includes a substrate, a light emitting chip, a tubular structure, and a fluorescent conversion layer. The tubular structure is formed on a surface of the substrate. The light emitting chip is disposed on the surface of the substrate and is surrounded by the tubular structure. The fluorescent conversion layer is disposed in the tubular structure and covers the light emitting chip. A ratio of a maximal vertical thickness and a maximal horizontal thickness of the fluorescent conversion layer at the light emitting chip is between 0.1 and 10. A distance for the light ray to pass through the fluorescent conversion layer is controlled by using the tubular structure, so as to solve a problem of the conventional art that fluorescent powder coating package technique results in non-uniform color temperature of the emitted light.
