Patent number: 9530930Abstract: Vertical high power LEDs are the technological choice for the application of general lighting due to their advantages of high efficiency and capability of handling high power. However, the technologies of vertical LED fabrication reported so far involve the wafer-level metal substrate substitution which may cause large stress due to the mismatch between metal substrate and LED layer. Moreover, the metal substrate has to be diced to separate LED dies which may cause metal contamination and thus increase the leakage current. These factors will lower the yield of LED production and increase the cost as well. The present invention is to disclose a novel method for the fabrication of GaN vertical high power LEDs and/or a novel method for the fabrication of GaN vertical high power LEDs which is compatible to mass production conditions. The novelty of the invention is that the island metal plating is conducted with the help of pattern formation techniques.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Wei Liu, Zi-Hui Zhang, Zhengang Ju, Xueliang Zhang, Yun Ji, Swee Tiam Tan, Xiao Wei Sun, Hilmi Volkan Demir

Publication number: 20060036390Abstract: A method for configuring an automated in-circuit test debugger is presented. The novel test debug and optimization configuration technique configures expert knowledge into a knowledge framework for use by an automated test debug and optimization system for automating the formulation of a valid stable in-circuit test for execution on an integrated circuit tester. In a system that includes a rule-based controller for controlling interaction between the test-head controller of an integrated circuit tester and an automated debug system, the invention includes a knowledge framework and a rule-based editor. The knowledge framework stores test knowledge in the representation of rules that represent a debugging strategy. The rule-based editor facilitates the use of rules as knowledge to debug or optimize an in-circuit test that is to be executed on the integrated circuit tester.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2004Publication date: February 16, 2006Inventors: Aik Loh, Keen Wai, Tiam Tan, Roy Williams, Daniel Whang, Chen Low, Ellis Yuan
