  • Publication number: 20090127575
    Abstract: This invention provides a light-emitting diode chip with high light extraction, which includes a substrate, an epitaxial-layer structure for generating light by electric-optical effect, a transparent reflective layer sandwiched between the substrate and the epitaxial-layer structure, and a pair of electrodes for providing power supply to the epitaxial-layer structure. A bottom surface and top surface of the epitaxial-layer structure are roughened to have a roughness not less than 100 nm root mean square (rms). The light generated by the epitaxial-layer structure is hence effectively extracted out. A transparent reflective layer not more than 5 ?m rms is formed as an interface between the substrate and the epitaxial-layer structure. The light toward the substrate is more effectively reflected upward. The light extraction and brightness are thus enhanced. Methods for manufacturing the light-emitting diode chip of the present invention are also provided.

  • Patent number: 6431687
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of monolithic integrated thermal bubble inkjet print heads and the structure for the same. The method utilizes semiconductor manufacturing technologies to configure various elements in a thermal bubble inkjet print head, such as ink channels, an ink slot, an energy transducer, an orifice plate, on a single substrate. The ink channels are formed on an top surface of the substrate using the anisotropic etching technique. The ink slot is formed on a back surface of the substrate using the anisotropic etching technique. The energy transducer and the orifice plate are formed in order above the ink channels using the coating and etching techniques. This thermal bubble inkjet print head manufacturing method is particularly useful in the all batch process without employing the steps of precision alignment joint for the orifice plate in a conventional inkjet print head. Therefore, the method can greatly increase production efficiency and lower production costs.

  • Patent number: 6287882
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light emitting diode (LED) includes growing a light emitting region on a temporary substrate, bonding a metal-coated reflective permanent substrate and then removing the temporary substrate. The reflective metal layer also serves as a bonding agent for bonding the permanent substrate. The bonded LED element and permanent substrate are heated in a wafer bonding tool that includes a graphite lower chamber and a graphite upper cover with a stainless steel screw. Because of the different thermal expansion coefficients between stainless and graphite, the stainless steel screw applies a pressure to the bonded structure during the heating process to assist the bonding of the permanent substrate.
