  • Patent number: 9257622
    Abstract: A light-emitting structure includes a package substrate and a light emitter disposed on the package substrate. The package substrate includes a carrier substrate and a plurality of metal units disposed on the carrier substrate. A distance between two arbitrary points on a periphery of the metal unit is defined as a peripheral endpoint distance. The light emitter includes a first electrical metal and a second electrical metal that have different electrical polarities and are separate from each other. A shortest distance between the first electrical metal and the second electrical metal is defined as an electrical metal interval. The electrical metal interval between the first electrical metal and the second electrical metal is greater than the longest peripheral endpoint distance of the metal unit.

  • Patent number: RE43411
    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.
