  • Publication number: 20240072203
    Abstract: A method for fabricating light emitting diode (LED) dice includes the steps of: providing a substrate, and forming a plurality of die sized semiconductor structures on the substrate. The method also includes the steps of providing a receiving plate having an elastomeric polymer layer, placing the substrate and the receiving plate in physical contact with an adhesive force applied by the elastomeric polymer layer, and performing a laser lift-off (LLO) process by directing a uniform laser beam through the substrate to the semiconductor layer at an interface with the substrate to lift off the semiconductor structures onto the elastomeric polymer layer. During the laser lift-off (LLO) process the elastomeric polymer layer functions as a shock absorber to reduce momentum transfer, and as an adhesive surface to hold the semiconductor structures in place on the receiving plate.

  • Publication number: 20230411565
    Abstract: A single light emitting diode (LED) structure includes an array of spaced discrete light emitting zones separated by isolation areas. Each emitting zone includes an epitaxial structure configured to emit an emitting light having a particular wavelength over an effective emission area. In addition, the effective emission area for each emitting zone can be geometrically defined and electrically configured to provide a desired light intensity. For example, each effective emission area can have a selected size and spacing depending on the application and light intensity requirements. Each emitting zone also includes a wavelength conversion member on its effective emission area configured to convert an emitting wavelength of the emitting light to a different color. The single (LED) structure can include multiple colors at different zones to produce a desired spectra or design.
