  • Patent number: 10263139
    Abstract: A fabrication method of a nitride semiconductor LED includes, an AlxInyGa1-x-yN material layer is deposited by CVD between an AlN thin film layer by PVD and a gallium nitride series layer by CVD, to reduce the stress effect between the AlN thin film layer and the nitride layer, improve the overall quality of the LED and efficiency. An AlN thin film layer is deposited on a patterned substrate having a larger depth by PVD, and a thin nitrogen epitaxial layer is deposited on the AIN thin film layer by CVD, which reduces the stress by reducing the thickness of the epitaxial layer and improves warpage of the wafer and electric uniformity of the single wafer; the light extraction efficiency is improved by using the large depth patterned substrate; further, the doping of high-concentration impurity in the active layer effectively reduces voltage characteristics without affecting leakage, thereby improving the overall yield.

  • Publication number: 20190107431
    Abstract: An airplane fuel level optical sensor using one side-emitting plastic optical fiber (SPOF) and two fluorescent plastic optical fibers (FPOFs) to detect the airplane fuel level without using any electrically conductive component or element placed inside the fuel tank. This dual-FPOF sensor is capable of achieving high resolution and high accuracy with a one-time calibration in the actual airplane's fuel tank environment. One embodiment of the dual-FPOF sensor uses one SPOF and two FPOFs to detect fuel level change based on the optical signal output from the two FPOFs. The sensor design uses large-diameter (core and cladding), lightweight, low-cost and high-durability plastic optical fiber, which is very desirable for airplane installation.
