  • Publication number: 20130207147
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a UV light emitting diode and a method of manufacturing the same. The UV light emitting diode includes a first conductive type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductive type semiconductor layer sequentially formed on a substrate, an electrode formed on the second conductive type semiconductor layer, and an opening formed by removing at least portions of the first conductive type semiconductor layer, the active layer, the second conductive type semiconductor layer, the reflective structure and the transparent electrode to expose a portion of the first conductive type semiconductor layer therethrough. In the UV light emitting diode, UV light is emitted from the active layer, passes through the opening, and then travels outside.

  • Publication number: 20120293045
    Abstract: Provided is an ultrasonic probe, which uses a composite piezo-electric element, which includes a piezo-electric wafer made of piezo-electric material and having a lattice shape, and a polymer filled between the lattices of the piezo-electric wafer. The ultrasonic probe has a high power and a wide band width simultaneously. In addition, since the ultrasonic probe further includes a heat exhaust unit for exhausting the heat generated at the ultrasonic probe to the outside, the temperature of an acoustic lens which contacts patients may be lowered.

  • Patent number: 8093583
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) having a barrier layer with a superlattice structure is disclosed. In an LED having an active region between an GaN-based N-type compound semiconductor layer and a GaN-based P-type compound semiconductor layer, the active region comprises a well layer and a barrier layer with a superlattice structure. As the barrier layer with the superlattice structure is employed, it is possible to reduce occurrence of defects caused by lattice mismatch between the well layer and the barrier layer.

  • Patent number: 7998761
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting diode with enhanced luminance and light emitting performance due to increase in efficiency of current diffusion into an ITO layer, and a method of fabricating the light emitting diode. According to the present invention, there is manufactured at least one light emitting cell including an N-type semiconductor layer, an active layer and a P-type semiconductor layer on a substrate. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of (a) forming at least one light emitting cell with an ITO layer formed on a top surface of the P-type semiconductor layer; (b) forming a contact groove for wiring connection in the ITO layer through dry etching; and (c) filling the contact groove with a contact connection portion made of a conductive material for the wiring connection.

  • Patent number: 7772600
    Abstract: Disclosed are a light emitting device having a zener diode therein and a method of fabricating the light emitting device. The light emitting device comprises a P-type silicon substrate having a zener diode region and a light emitting diode region. A first N-type compound semiconductor layer is contacted to the zener diode region of the P-type silicon substrate to exhibit characteristics of a zener diode together with the P-type silicon substrate. Further, a second N-type compound semiconductor layer is positioned on the light emitting diode region of the P-type silicon substrate. The second N-type compound semiconductor layer is spaced apart from the first N-type compound semiconductor layer. Meanwhile, a P-type compound semiconductor layer is positioned on the second N-type compound semiconductor layer, and an active layer is interposed between the second N-type compound semiconductor layer and the P-type compound semiconductor layer.
