Abstract: Disclosed is a fluorescent coating and a method for making the same. At first, fluorescent powder is mixed with an anti-electrostatic solution. The mixture is cleared of impurities before it is dried and sintered. Thus, the fluorescent powder is coated with the anti-electrostatic material. The fluorescent powder coated with the anti-electrostatic material is plated on a side of a light-emitting diode (“LED”) chip by electrophoresis, thus forming a mixing zone on the side of the LED chip. Hence, the mixing zone is not vulnerable to deterioration or itiolation when it is subjected to heat in use. Accordingly, the life of the LED chip is long, and the illumination of the LED chip is high.

Abstract: A novel UBM structure for improving the strength and performance of individual UBM layers in a UBM structure is disclosed. In one aspect, a UBM structure for disposal onto an electrically conductive element comprised of aluminum is disclosed. In one embodiment, the UBM structure comprises a tantalum layer disposed over the aluminum electrically conductive element, and a copper layer disposed over the tantalum layer, where the UBM structure is configured to receive a solder ball thereon.

Abstract: Solder bump structures for semiconductor device packaging is provided. In one embodiment, a solder bump structure comprises a semiconductor substrate, the substrate has at least one contact pad and an upper passivation layer having at least one opening formed therein exposing a portion of the contact pad. At least one patterned and etched polymer layer is formed on a portion of the contact pad. At least one patterned and etched conductive metal layer is formed above the polymer layer and is aligned therewith. And at least one layer of solder material having a solder height is provided above the conductive metal layer, the layer of solder is aligned with the conductive metal layer, the layer of solder is thereafter reflown thereby creating a solder ball.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a pad redistribution layer. First, at least one bonding pad exposed by a first passivation layer is provided. A diffusion barrier layer and a seed layer are then formed over the first passivation layer and the bonding pad. A patterned mask layer is then formed over the seed layer to expose a portion thereof over the bonding pad, and a metal layer is then formed thereon. A sacrificial layer is then formed over the substrate and the sacrificial layer over the patterned mask layer is removed. The conductive film exposed by the metal layer and the remaining sacrificial layer is then removed, leaving a pad redistribution layer for the bonding pad.

Abstract: In accordance with the objectives of the invention a new method and apparatus is provided for the removal of by-products resulting from a dry-film removal process. The conventional method and apparatus for controlling a dry-film removal process is extended by the addition of a Dry-Film Remove Pre-Filter System, which significantly enhances the capability of filtering a dry-film removal solution.
