Abstract: A method of fabricating semiconductor devices, such as GaN LEDs, on insulating substrates, such as sapphire. Semiconductor layers are produced on the insulating substrate using normal techniques. Trenches that define the boundaries of the individual devices are formed through the semiconductor layers and into the insulating substrate, beneficially by inductive coupled plasma reactive ion etching. A first support structure is attached to the semiconductor layers. The hard substrate is then removed, beneficially by laser lift off. A second supporting structure, preferably conductive, is substituted for the hard substrate and the first supporting structure is removed. Individual devices are then diced, beneficially by etching through the second supporting structure. A protective photo-resist layer can protect the semiconductor layers from the attachment of the first support structure.

Abstract: A method of fabricating semiconductor devices, such as GaN LEDs, on insulating substrates, such as sapphire. Semiconductor layers are produced on the insulating substrate using normal semiconductor processing techniques. Trenches that define the boundaries of the individual devices are then formed through the semiconductor layers and into the insulating substrate, beneficially by using inductive coupled plasma reactive ion etching.

A metal support structure is then formed on the semiconductor layers (such as by plating or by deposition) and the insulating substrate is removed. Electrical contacts, a passivation layer, and metallic pads are then added to the individual devices, and the individual devices are then diced out.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a rotary resonance type motor. The rotary resonance type motor comprises a swing rotor swung by electromagnetic force caused by interaction with a stator, and a resonant mechanism resonating with the swing rotor so as to allow the swing rotor to be swung, and a circulation rotor rotating in one direction by electromagnetic force caused by interaction with the stator, thereby generating unidirectional rotational force and swing force at the same time. The rotary resonance type motor has a cooling fan coupled to the circulation rotor, so that heat of the rotary resonance type motor can be sufficiently dissipated by blowing force of the cooling fan, thereby enhancing durability and stability.

According to the method of the present invention, a mechanical oscillation frequency of a driving unit, which includes a brush body reciprocated within a range of prescribed angles, and a torsion bar for providing a prescribed elastic force to angular rotation of the brush body, is set equally to a driving frequency of a power supply unit, which drives the driving unit, or is set a prescribed percentage higher or lower than the driving frequency of the power supply unit, so that the driving unit can resonate. A large amount of movement is obtained using a small amount of power by means of the resonance.

Abstract: The invention provides a reliable way to fabricate a new vertical structure compound semiconductor device with improved light output and a laser lift-off processes for mass production of GaN-based compound semiconductor devices. A theme of the invention is employing direct metal support substrate deposition prior to the LLO by an electro-plating method to form an n-side top vertical structure. In addition, an ITO DBR layer is employed right next to a p-contact layer to enhance the light output by higher reflectivity. A perforated metal wafer carrier is also used for wafer bonding for easy handling and de-bonding. A new fabrication process is more reliable compared to the conventional LLO-based vertical device fabrication. Light output of the new vertical device having n-side up structure is increased 2 or 3 times higher than that of the lateral device fabricated with same GaN/InGaN epitaxial films.

Abstract: A swing motor having an opening formed asymmetrically inside a stator. The swing motor is formed with an asymmetrical opening, in particular in a semicircular shape inside the stator. The opening is provided with a plurality of salient poles wound with coils. Electric current alternately flows through the coils so that a rotor, installed in the stator in a state of being spaced apart from the stator, can reciprocally move. Since the height of the stator is reduced by forming the opening asymmetrically in comparison with the case of forming the opening symmetrically, it is advantageous for minimizing the size of the product in which the swing motor is installed.
