  • Patent number: 9431589
    Abstract: A packaged LED device having a textured encapsulant that is conformal with a mount surface on which at least one LED chip is disposed. The textured encapsulant, which can be textured using an additive or subtractive process, is applied to the LED either prior to or during packaging. The encapsulant includes at least one textured surface from which light is emitted. The textured surface helps to reduce total internal reflection within the encapsulant, improving the extraction efficiency and the color temperature uniformity of the output profile. Several chips can be mounted beneath a single textured encapsulant. A mold having irregular surfaces can be used to form multiple encapsulants over many LEDs simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20140256072
    Abstract: A submount for a light emitting device package includes a substrate with a first bond pad and a second bond pad on a first surface. The first bond pad includes a die attach region offset toward a first end of the substrate and configured to receive a light emitting diode. The second bond pad includes a bonding region between the first bond pad and the second end of the substrate and a second bond pad extension that extends from the bonding region along a side of the substrate toward a corner of the substrate at the first end of the substrate. First and second solder pads are on the second surface of the substrate. The first solder pad is adjacent the first end of the substrate and contacts the second bond pad. The second solder pad is adjacent the second end of the substrate and contacts the first bond pad.

  • Patent number: 7964888
    Abstract: A submount for a light emitting device package includes a rectangular substrate. A first bond pad and a second bond pad are on a first surface of the substrate. The first bond pad includes a die attach region offset toward a first end of the substrate and configured to receive a light emitting diode thereon. The second bond pad includes a bonding region between the first bond pad and the second end of the substrate and a second bond pad extension that extends from the bonding region along a side of the substrate toward a corner of the substrate at the first end of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 7531431
    Abstract: Methods of processing a semiconductor structure including a metal layer in the presence of organic material include flowing an aqueous mixture including an oxidizing agent over the semiconductor structure during processing of the semiconductor structure. Processing the semiconductor structure may include sawing the semiconductor structure and/or scrubbing the semiconductor structure with pressurized water. The oxidizing agent may include a peroxide, such as hydrogen peroxide, or another oxidizing agent.
