  • Patent number: 8093081
    Abstract: A device of a light-emitting diode and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The LED device is made by forming a patterned epitaxial layer, a light-emitting structure, etc., on a substrate. In a subsequent process, the patterned epitaxial layer serves as a weakened structure, and can be automatically broken and a rough surface is thus formed. The weakened structure is formed with a specified height, and has pillar structures. The light-emitting structure is formed on the weakened structure. During a cooling process at room temperature, the weakened structure is automatically broken and a rough surface is thus formed.

  • Patent number: 7663153
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) is provided. The LED at least includes a substrate, a saw-toothed multilayer, a first type semiconductor layer, an active emitting layer and a second type semiconductor layer. In the LED, the saw-tooth multilayer is formed opposite the active emitting layer below the first type semiconductor layer by an auto-cloning photonic crystal process. Due to the presence of the saw-tooth multilayer on the substrate of the LED, the scattered light form a back of the active emitting layer can be reused by reflecting and recycling through the saw-tooth multilayer. Thus, all light is focused to radiate forward so as to improve the light extraction efficiency of the LED. Moreover, the saw-tooth multilayer does not peel off or be cracked after any high temperature process because the saw-tooth multilayer has the performance of releasing thermal stress and reducing elastic deformation between it and the substrate.
