  • Patent number: 10541512
    Abstract: The present invention is a surface emitting laser luminescent diode structure which is characterized in that a recess comprises two tilted slopes on two sides and a protruding trapezoidal cylinder located at the bottom center of the recess is disposed at the bottom of a laser resonant cavity. Thus, a reflecting mirror disposed along the surface of the recess includes two tilted side surfaces as leak-proof sides, which reduces the divergence angle and avoid the lateral light leakage. Additionally, a current isolating layer is disposed on the reflecting mirror and is designed to satisfy the condition (¼*wavelength*1/refractive index) of an optical film, thereby allowing the reflecting mirror to receive an excellent reflectance. Besides, the current isolating layer limits the flow direction of the current, thus increasing operating speed.

  • Patent number: 9263641
    Abstract: An electric contact structure adopted for an LED comprises a nitride middle layer and an N-type metal electrode layer. The LED includes an N-type semiconductor layer, a light emission layer and a P-type semiconductor layer that are stacked to form a sandwich structure. The nitride middle layer is patterned and formed on the N-type semiconductor layer. The N-type metal electrode layer is formed on the nitride middle layer and prevented from being damaged by diffusion of the metal ions as the nitride middle layer serves as a blocking interface, thus electric property of the N-type semiconductor layer can be maintained stable. The nitride middle layer would not be softened and condensed due to long-term high temperature, thereby is enhanced adhesion. Moreover, the N-type metal electrode layer further can be prevented from peeling off, hence is increased the lifespan of the LED.

  • Patent number: 9224911
    Abstract: A method for separating a light-emitting diode (LED) from a substrate comprises the following steps. First, a substrate is provided which includes a junction surface and a bottom surface far away from the junction surface. Then a plurality holes are formed on the junction surface. An LED structure is further grown on the junction surface, and includes a junction portion bonded to the junction surface. The bottom surface is then polished to be shrunk to communicate with the holes. Finally, the junction portion is etched by an etching liquid via the holes to separate the LED structure from the substrate. Accordingly, by forming the holes, the LED structure and the substrate can be separated through polishing and etching processes, thereby providing a high yield rate as well as reduced production costs.
