  • Publication number: 20090159871
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a light emitting diode structure and a method for fabricating the same. In the present invention, a substrate is placed in a solution to form a chemical reaction layer. Next, the substrate is etched to form a plurality of concave zones and a plurality of convex zones with the chemical reaction layer overhead. Next, the chemical reaction layer is removed to form an irregular geometry of the concave zones and convex zones on the surface of the substrate. Then, a semiconductor light emitting structure is epitaxially formed on the surface of the substrate. Thereby, the present invention can achieve a light emitting diode structure having improved internal and external quantum efficiencies.

  • Publication number: 20090162999
    Abstract: A method of growing nitride semiconductor material and particularly a method of growing Indium nitride is disclosed can increase surface flatness of a nitride semiconductor material and decrease density of V-defects therein. Further, the method can increase light emission efficiency of a quantum well or quantum dots of the produced LED as well as greatly increase yield. The method is also applicable to the fabrications of electronic devices made of nitride semiconductor material and diodes of high breakdown voltage for rectification. The method can greatly increase surface flatness of semiconductor material for HBT, thereby increasing quality of the produced semiconductor devices.

  • Publication number: 20090111202
    Abstract: A method for self bonding epitaxy includes forming a passivation layer on a substrate surface of a semiconductor lighting element; etching to form recesses and protrusive portions with the passivation layer located thereon; starting forming epitaxy on the bottom surface of the recesses; filling the recesses with an Epi layer; then covering the protrusive portions and starting self bonding upwards the epitaxy to finish the Epi layer structure. Such a self bonding epitaxy growing technique can prevent cavity generation caused by parameter errors of the epitaxy and reduce defect density, and improve the quality of the Epi layer and increase internal quantum efficiency.

  • Patent number: 7445949
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor laser device is provided. First, a first mask layer is formed on an epitaxial structure to define a protrudent area in a ridge structure. Thereafter, a conformal second mask layer is formed over the epitaxial structure to cover the first mask layer. A third mask layer is formed over the second mask layer. The exposed second mask layer is removed. Using the first and the third mask layers as etching masks, a portion of the epitaxial structure is removed. The third mask layer and the remaining second mask layer are removed to form the ridge structure. An insulation layer is formed on the epitaxial structure and then the first mask layer is removed to expose the top surface of the protrudent area. A conductive layer is formed on the epitaxial structure such that it contacts with the top surface of the protrudent area.

  • Publication number: 20070268445
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes: a first substrate and a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer filling between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a plurality of sealant observation windows arranged on the second substrate, wherein each sealant observation windows is an enclosed pattern formed by smooth curve; and a sealant covering a portion of sealant observation windows and surrounding the liquid crystal layer to bond the first substrate and the second substrate. In the present invention, those sealant observation windows can avoid the condition of unequal cell gap and increase the convenience of monitoring the spreading condition of the sealant.
