  • Publication number: 20130049006
    Abstract: Gold is used as a micromask to roughen a gallium nitride (GaN) surface in an LED device. In one example, a mesh of ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) is formed on a GaN layer. The mesh has holes that extend down to the GaN. A layer of silicon dioxide is deposited so that it covers the GaN at the bottoms of the holes. A layer of gold is formed over the oxide. A thermal treatment causes the gold to ball up into small gold features. These gold features are used as a micromask in a subsequent etching step. Areas of the bottoms of the holes that are not covered by a gold feature are etched. Etching occurs through the oxide and down into the GaN. The roughening process involves no silver, and involves no harsh cleaning solvents or processes that might otherwise have been used were the micromask made of silver.

  • Patent number: 8384118
    Abstract: Described is a process for forming an LED structure using a laser lift-off process to remove the growth substrate (e.g., sapphire) after the LED die is bonded to a submount. The underside of the LED die has formed on it anode and cathode electrodes that are substantially in the same plane, where the electrodes cover at least 85% of the back surface of the LED structure. The submount has a corresponding layout of anode and cathode electrodes substantially in the same plane. The LED die electrodes and submount electrodes are ultrasonically welded together such that virtually the entire surface of the LED die is supported by the electrodes and submount. Other bonding techniques may also be used. No underfill is used. The growth substrate, forming the top of the LED structure, is then removed from the LED layers using a laser lift-off process.
