  • Patent number: 8936953
    Abstract: Several embodiments of light emitting diode packaging configurations including a substrate with a cavity are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a cavity is formed on a substrate to contain an LED and phosphor layer. The substrate has a channel separating the substrate into a first portion containing the cavity and a second portion. A filler of encapsulant material or other electrically insulating material is molded in the channel. The first portion can serve as a cathode for the LED and the second portion can serve as the anode.

  • Patent number: 8872310
    Abstract: A conductive via of a semiconductor device includes a relatively small diameter portion extending into an active surface of a fabrication substrate and a corresponding, relatively large diameter portion that extends into a back side of the fabrication substrate. This type of conductive via may be fabricated by forming the relatively small diameter portion before or during BEOL processing, while the large diameter portion of each conductive via may be fabricated after BEOL processing is complete. Electronic devices that include one or more semiconductor devices with such conductive vias are also disclosed.
