  • Publication number: 20050167680
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) structure with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is described. The LED includes a substrate, a patterned semiconductor layer, a first electrode and a second electrode. The patterned semiconductor layer is disposed over the substrate, and is divided into at least a first island structure and a second island structure. The first electrode and the second electrode are connected between the first island structure and the second island structure. A shunt diode is formed by the first electrode, the second electrode and the second island structure. The shunt diode is connected in parallel to the LED with an inverse voltage compared to the LED. In the LED structure of the invention, the first island structure and the second island structure are manufactured simultaneously by the epitaxy procedure. Therefore, the LED could be protected from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).

  • Publication number: 20050127485
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode package structure is provided. The light-emitting diode package comprises an insulating sub-mount, a first patterned conductive-reflective film, a second patterned conductive-reflective film and a light-emitting diode chip. The insulating sub-mount has a first surface and a cavity therein. The first and the second patterned conductive-reflective film are set over a portion of the first surface, a portion of the sidewalls of the cavity and a portion of the bottom surface of the cavity. The light-emitting diode chip is set up inside the cavity of the insulating sub-mount. The light-emitting diode has a pair of electrodes. The electrodes are electrically connected to the first and the second patterned conductive-reflective film respectively. Since the light-emitting diode structure of this invention incorporates the patterned conductive-reflective films, efficiency of the light-emitting diode is increased.

  • Publication number: 20050087866
    Abstract: A flip-chip LED package structure is disclosed. The flip-chip LED package structure includes a submount, patterned conductive films, a LED chip and two bumps. Several grooves are formed on the sidewalls of the submount. The patterned conductive films are formed on the grooves. The patterned conductive films extend from the grooves to parts of a top surface and a backside surface of the submount. The bumps are formed on two electrodes of the LED chip. The LED chip is disposed on the submount and connects electrically with the patterned conductive films via the bumps. The flip-chip LED package structure is disposed on a circuit board and connects electrically with the circuit without the wire bonding.
