  • Publication number: 20240153895
    Abstract: Semiconductor dies of a semiconductor die package are directly bonded, and a top metal region may be formed over the semiconductor dies. A plurality of conductive terminals may be formed over the top metal region. The conductive terminals are formed of copper (Cu) or another material that enables low-temperature deposition process techniques, such as electroplating, to be used to form the conductive terminal. In this way, the conductive terminals of the semiconductor die packages described herein may be formed at a relatively low temperature. This reduces the likelihood of thermal deformation of semiconductor dies in the semiconductor die packages. The reduced thermal deformation reduces the likelihood of warpage, breakage, and/or other types of damage to the semiconductor dies of the semiconductor die packages, which may increase performance and/or increase yield of semiconductor die packages.

  • Patent number: 7087931
    Abstract: A high luminance indium gallium aluminum nitride light emitting diode (LED) is disclosed, including a substrate, a first conductive type nitride layer, an active layer, a second conductive type nitride layer, a first contact layer, a second contact layer, and a conductive transparent layer. The first contact layer has a first bandgap and a first doping concentration, and is disposed on the second conductive type nitride layer. The second contact layer has a second bandgap and a second doping concentration, and is disposed on the first contact layer. The first doping concentration and the second doping concentration are respectively larger than a predetermined concentration, and the first bandgap is smaller than the second bandgap. The second contact layer is thinner than a predetermined thickness so that a tunneling effect occurs between the conductive transparent layer and the second contact layer while the LED is in operation.

  • Patent number: 6998642
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure with two light emitting diodes in series connection is disclosed. The semiconductor structure comprises two light emitting diodes (LEDs) having the same stack layers and abutting each other but spaced by an isolation trench. The stack layers from a bottom thereof include a thermal conductive substrate, an nonconductive protective layer, a metal adhering layer, a mirror protective layer, a p-type ohmic contact epi-layer, a upper cladding layer, an active layer, and a lower cladding layer. Two p-type ohmic contact metal electrodes for two LEDs are formed on an interface between the mirror protective layer and the ohmic contact epi-layer and buried in the mirror protective layer. The stack layers have first trenches formed therein which exposes the upper cladding layer and electrical connecting channels to connect p-type electrodes. The isolation trench is formed by patterning the exposed upper cladding layer until further exposing the nonconductive protective layer.

  • Patent number: 6900068
    Abstract: A high reflective and conductive metal substrate instead of a GaAs substrate which is a light absorption substrate is utilized for the light emitting diode. The processes include forming a mirror protection film on the light emitting epi-layers. The mounting between the reflective and conductive metal substrate on the protection film is though a metal adhesive layer. Afterward, the temporal GaAs substrate is removed. Thereafter, a trench is formed to remove a portion of light emitting epi-layers to expose a p-type ohmic contact epi-layer and the first ohmic contact metal electrode of the light emitting epi-layers. Then the second ohmic contact metal electrode and a wire bonding layer formation are followed. The LED can enhance capability of the light reflect instead of light absorption.
