  • Patent number: 8604505
    Abstract: There is provided a technique for improving the flatness at the surface of members embedded in a plurality of recesses without resulting in an increase in the time required for the manufacturing processes. According to this technique, the dummy patterns can be placed up to the area near the boundary BL between the element forming region DA and dummy region FA by placing the first dummy pattern DP1 of relatively wider area and the second dummy pattern DP2 of relatively small area in the dummy region FA. Thereby, the flatness of the surface of the silicon oxide film embedded within the isolation groove can be improved over the entire part of the dummy region FA. Moreover, an increase of the mask data can be controlled when the first dummy patterns DP1 occupy a relatively wide region among the dummy region FA.

  • Patent number: 8525193
    Abstract: A layered structure for use with a high power light emitting diode system comprises an electrically insulating intermediate layer interconnecting a top layer and a bottom layer. The top layer, the intermediate layer, and the bottom layer form an at least semi-flexible elongate member having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of positions spaced along the longitudinal axis. The at least semi-flexible elongate member is bendable laterally proximate the plurality of positions spaced along the longitudinal axis to a radius of at least 6 inches, twistable relative to its longitudinal axis up to 10 degrees per inch, and bendable to conform to localized heat sink surface flatness variations having a radius of at least 1 inch. The top layer is pre-populated with electrical components for high wattage, the electrical components including at least one high wattage light emitting diode at least 1.0 Watt per 0.8 inch squared.

  • Patent number: 8525218
    Abstract: The light emitting device has a light emitting element 101, and translucent material 102 that passes incident light from the light emitting element 101 and emits that light to the outside. The sides of the translucent material 102 perimeter are inclined surfaces 107 that become wider from the upper surface to the lower surface. The area of the lower surface of the translucent material 102 is formed larger than the area of the upper surface of the light emitting element 101. The lower surface of the translucent material 102 and the upper surface of the light emitting element 101 are joined together, and the part of the lower surface of the translucent material 102 that is not joined with the light emitting element 101 and the inclined surfaces 101 are covered by light reflecting resin 103.

  • Publication number: 20130221380
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a plurality of optoelectronic apparatuses include attaching bottom surfaces of a plurality of packaged optoelectronic semiconductor devices (POSDs) to a carrier substrate (e.g., a tape) so that there is a space between each POSD and its one or more neighboring POSD(s). A light reflective molding compound is molded around a portion each of the POSDs attached to the carrier substrate so that a reflector cup is formed from the light reflective molding compound for each of the POSDs. The light reflective molding compound can also attach the POSDs to one another. Alternatively, an opaque molding compound can be molded around each POSD/reflector cup to attach the POSDs/reflector cups to one another and form a light barrier between each POSD and its neighboring POSD(s). The carrier substrate is thereafter removed so that electrical contacts on the bottom surfaces of the POSDs are exposed.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optoelectronic apparatus includes attaching bottom surfaces of first and second packaged optoelectronic semiconductor devices (POSDs) to a carrier substrate (e.g., a tape) so that there is a space between the first and second POSDs. An opaque molding compound is molded around portions of the first and second POSDs attached to the carrier substrate, so that peripheral surfaces of the first POSD and the second POSD are surrounded by the opaque molding compound, the space between the first and second POSDs is filled with the opaque molding compound, and the first and second POSDs are attached to one another by the opaque molding compound. The carrier substrate is thereafter removed so that electrical contacts on the bottom surfaces of the first and second POSDs are exposed. A window for each of the POSDs is formed during the molding process or thereafter.
