  • Publication number: 20130181241
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a substrate, characterized by a first surface and a second surface, for use in a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes providing a mold having a first template and/or a second template corresponding to a first texture and a second texture respectively. Then, the method includes injection molding a material for the substrate in the mold, to form the substrate, such that the material is injection molded to create the first texture on the first surface and/or the second texture on the second surface. The first texture and/or the second texture facilitate light extraction or light trapping in the semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 8426239
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes providing a transparent substrate having predefined active regions and non-active regions. Thereafter, the method includes spraying droplets of a lacquer on the predefined active regions to form corresponding lacquer layer regions, such that the non-active regions do not have presence of the lacquer. The lacquer layer regions are of a predefined thickness to enable their functional texturing. Texturing of lacquer layer enables light trapping or light extraction. Thereafter, one or more semiconductor layers are deposited o the lacquer layer regions and a cover substrate is provided. The cover substrate is joined to the transparent substrate at a portion of the non-active regions and encapsulates the lacquer layer regions and the one or more semiconductor layers between itself and the transparent substrate.

  • Publication number: 20120252211
    Abstract: A method is provided for simultaneously forming functional light structures and grooves configured to hold electrical circuitry on a lacquer layer deposited on a base substrate, which is for use in an optoelectronic device. The method includes applying the lacquer layer on the base substrate and heating it beyond its glass transition temperature to soften it. Thereafter, a stamper is used to simultaneously replicate the grooves and the functional light structures onto the lacquer layer. The stamper has a mating surface, which has negative impressions of the grooves on its first portion and the functional light structures on its second portion. Thereafter, the lacquer layer is cooled and the electrical circuitry is formed in the grooves on the lacquer layer.
