Patent number: 8158998Abstract: The present invention discloses a high-reflectivity and low-defect density LED structure. A patterned dielectric layer is embedded in a sapphire substrate via semiconductor processes, such as etching and deposition. The dielectric layer is formed of two materials which are alternately stacked and have different refractive indexes. An N-type semiconductor layer, an activation layer and a light emitting layer which is a P-type semiconductor layer are sequentially formed on the sapphire substrate. An N-type electrode and a P-type electrode are respectively coated on the N-type semiconductor layer and the P-type semiconductor layer. The dielectric layer can lower the defect density of the light emitting layer during the epitaxial growth process. Further, the dielectric layer can function as a high-reflectivity area to reflect light generated by the light emitting layer and the light is projected downward to be emitted from the top or the lateral. Thereby is greatly increased the light-extraction efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2010Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: High Power Opto, Inc.Inventors: Liang-Jyi Yan, Yea-Chen Lee

Publication number: 20120043567Abstract: The present invention discloses an LED structure with a Bragg film and a metal layer, wherein a Bragg film and a metal layer are coated on a bottom of a sapphire substrate. The Bragg film includes two optical layers having different refractive indexes and alternately stacked. The materials and thickness of the optical layers of the Bragg film are optimized to form a high-reflectivity area via optical operation, which can effectively reflect the incident light generated by the light emitting layer from different incident angles. The Bragg film together with the metal layer can reflect the light, which is projected downward, to be emitted from the top or lateral of an LED structure. Therefore, the present invention can greatly increase the light-extraction efficiency of the LED structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2010Publication date: February 23, 2012Inventors: Liang-Jyi YAN, Yea-Chen LEE

Patent number: 7956282Abstract: A photoelectric conversion element comprises a solar-energy epitaxial layer, a bond layer and a LED epitaxial layer, which are stacked sequentially. The bond layer has a plurality of holes allowing light to pass. The solar-energy epitaxial layer receives light via the holes and generates electric energy, and an external secondary battery stores the electric energy. When environmental illumination disappears, the LED epitaxial layer is powered by the external secondary battery to emit light. When the photoelectric conversion element of the present invention applies to outdoor traffic signs, advertisement signboards and indicators, they can operate without external power supply.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2008Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: High Power Opto, Inc.Inventors: Jinn-Kong Sheu, Liang-Jyi Yan, Chih-Sung Chang

Patent number: 7955951Abstract: The present invention discloses an LED-laser lift-off method, which applies to lift off a transient substrate from an epitaxial layer grown on the transient substrate after a support substrate having an adhesion metal layer is bonded to the epitaxial layer. Firstly, the epitaxial layer is etched to define separation channels around each chip section, and the epitaxial layer between two separation channels is not etched but preserved to form a separation zone. Each laser illumination area only covers one illuminated chip section, the separation channels surrounding the illuminated chip section, and the separation zones surrounding the illuminated chip section. Thus, the adhesion metal layer on the separation channels is only heated once. Further, the outward stress generated by the illuminated chip section is counterbalanced by the outward stress generated by the illuminated separation zones, and the stress-induced structural damage on the chip section is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2009Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: High Power Opto, Inc.Inventors: Liang-Jyi Yan, Yea-Chen Lee
