  • Patent number: 6762069
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing light-emitting device on non-transparent substrate includes the steps of forming a semiconductor epitaxial layer, a first conductive layer, a reflecting layer and a first conduction layer on a first substrate, and forming second conduction layer on a second substrate. Afterward, the first conduction layer and the second conduction layer is bounded by thermal pressing. The first substrate is then removed and a second conductive layer is formed to complete a light-emitting device. The light-emitting device can be incorporated with wetting layer and blocking layer to prevent inner diffusion and enhance external quantum efficiency.

  • Patent number: 6649437
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method of manufacturing high efficiency LEDs. The LEDs uses a metal reflection layer to solve the problem of light absorption by the substrate, and improves the illumination. It also forms a vertical structure where the P and N ends are on the top and bottom sides of the LEDs, respectively. A vertical structure is easier for final packaging. In addition, the present invention uses a metal substrate to replace the semiconductor substrate in order to improve the heat dissipation, and enable the LEDs to operate at a higher current.

  • Publication number: 20030178637
    Abstract: A method for integrating a compound semiconductor with a substrate of high thermal conductivity is provided. The present invention employs a metal of low melting point, which is in the liquid state at low temperature (about 200° C.), to form a bonding layer. The method includes the step of providing a compound semiconductor structure, which includes a compound semiconductor substrate and an epitaxial layer thereon. Then, a first bonding layer is formed on the epitaxial layer. A substrate of thermal conductivity greater than that of the compound semiconductor substrate is selected. Then, a second bonding layer is formed on the substrate. The first bonding layer and the second bonding layer are pressed to form an alloy layer at low temperature.

  • Publication number: 20030116770
    Abstract: A light emitting epi-layer structure which contains a temporality light absorption substrate on one side, the other side thereof can be adhered to a light absorption free transparent substrate in terms of a transparent adhesive layer which is light absorption free too. After that, the light absorption substrate portion is removed by means of an etching process. The resulted light emitting diode has significant improvement in light emitting efficiency. Moreover, the transparent conductive layer is a low resistance and high transparency layer. The current flow can thus be distributed evenly than conventional one.

  • Patent number: 6583448
    Abstract: The present invention disclosed a light emitting diode (LED) and method for manufacturing the same. The light emitting diode includes a transparent substrate connected to an epitaxial layer with absorption substrate via a transparent adhesive layer. Then, the absorption substrate is removed to form a light emitting diode with the transparent substrate. Because of the low light absorption of the transparent substrate, the present invention provides high luminescence efficiency. Furthermore, because the first metal bonding layer is electrical connected with the first ohmic contact layer by the electrode connecting channel, the voltage is decreased and the current distribution is increased in the fixed current to improve the luminous efficiency of a light emitting diode.
