  • Publication number: 20070262301
    Abstract: A serial magnetic mass storage device and associated data storage method of the kind in which data is encoded in single magnetic domains in nanowires. In the invention, the nanowires are provided with a large number of notches along their length to form domain wall pinning sites. Moreover, the notches are addressed in groups (A, B, C) by heating electrodes. By alternately heating the notches hosting head-to-head and tail-to-tail domain walls in synchrony with alignment and anti-alignment of an operating field (H) along the nanowire the magnetic domains are moved along the nanowire by alternate movement of the head-to-head and tail-to-tail domain walls in caterpillar or worm-like motion in which the domains are incrementally lengthened and shortened by one inter-notch distance as they move along the nanowires under the joint coordinated action of the heating and alternating operating field.

  • Publication number: 20070262338
    Abstract: An LED chip of the present invention has a structure in which an n-type semiconductor layer and a p-type semiconductor layer are successively formed on the lower face of an element substrate, with the p-type semiconductor layer being formed on an area except for an area for an n-electrode. A first n-electrode is formed on the area for the n-electrode and a first p-electrode is formed on the p-type semiconductor layer. A first insulating layer having openings and is formed on the first n-electrode and the first p-electrode, and a second n-electrode and a second p-electrode having virtually the same size are formed on the first insulating layer. With this arrangement, the electrode on the n-type semiconductor layer can be made larger, thereby a mounting process of LED chips onto a circuit board can be executed by using solder at low costs.

  • Publication number: 20070262340
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to a light emitting semiconductor apparatus with reduced color unevenness and suppressed topical deterioration over time with regard to an amount and chromaticity of the illuminating light. The light emitting semiconductor apparatus of the disclosed subject matter can include three separate bonding pads. Among those, the centrally located bonding pad is die bonded to two types of light emitting devices which have an identical material and structure and almost equal sizes, but are different in orientation and direction characteristic of PN-electrodes. The bonding pad located in an outermost location is die-bonded to the light emitting device. In this case, the direction characteristic of a central light emitting device exhibits a substantial reverse conical form while the direction characteristic of the light emitting device exhibits a substantial conical form.

  • Publication number: 20070262341
    Abstract: A vertical light-emitting diode (VLED) structure with a eutectic layer is described. The eutectic layer improves the heat conductivity of the device, thereby leading to increased brightness and higher luminous efficiency. The eutectic bonds of this layer also improve the reliability of the VLED structure since they have a lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). A metal protective layer may be included to prevent diffusion of the eutectic layer thereby increasing the reliability and lifetime of the VLED structure. A reflective layer and/or a patterned surface may be added to this structure to further enhance the emitted light and increase the luminous efficiency.
