  • Patent number: 9006768
    Abstract: An n-type layer, an active layer, and a p-type layer are grown on a growth substrate. Portions of the p-type layer and active layer are etched away to expose the n-type layer, and an n-electrode is formed over the exposed portions of the n-type layer. A first dielectric layer is formed over the n-electrodes. A transparent conductor layer is formed over the p-type layer and the first dielectric layer. A p-electrode is formed over the transparent conductor layer. A transparent bonding layer is deposited over the transparent conductor layer and the p-electrode. A transparent support substrate is bonded to the p-type layer via the bonding layer. The growth substrate is then removed to expose the n-type layer, and the layers are etched to expose the n and p electrodes for connection to a power source. A reflector layer is formed on the bottom surface of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 8415702
    Abstract: A reflector for a GaN-based light-emitting device, method for manufacturing the reflector and GaN-based light-emitting device including the reflector are provided. The reflector is formed on a p-type GaN-based epitaxial layer and includes: a whisker crystal of un-doped GaN, formed on a surface of the p-type GaN-based epitaxial layer with a predefined density distribution and at a position that corresponds to a dislocation defect of an epitaxial layer; and a metal reflective layer, formed on both the p-type GaN-based epitaxial layer and the whisker crystal. The whisker of un-doped GaN is positioned on the dislocation defect of the p-type GaN-based epitaxial layer, so that the Ag reflective layer can be separated from the dislocation defect of the p-type GaN-based epitaxial layer, thereby effectively preventing Ag from moving inside the dislocation defect via electromigration, and largely decreasing the possibility of current leakage of the light-emitting device including the Ag reflector.

  • Patent number: 7955959
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing GaN-based film LED based on masklessly transferring photonic crystal structure is disclosed. Two dimensional photonic crystals are formed on a sapphire substrate. Lattice quality of GaN-based epitaxy on the sapphire substrate is improved, and the internal quantum efficiency of GaN-based LED epitaxy is increased. After the GaN-based film is transferred onto heat sink substrate, the two dimensional photonic crystals structure is masklessly transferred onto the light exiting surface of the GaN-based film by using different etching rates between the GaN material and the SiO2 mask, so that light extraction efficiency of the GaN-based LED is improved. That is, the GaN-based film LED according to the invention has a relatively high illumination efficiency and heat sink.
