    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gallium nitride (GaN) compound semiconductor light emitting element (LED) and a method of manufacturing the same. The present invention provides a vertical GaN LED capable of improving the characteristics of a horizontal LED by means of a metallic protective film layer and a metallic support layer. According to the present invention, a thick metallic protective film layer with a thickness of at least 10 microns is formed on the lateral and/or bottom sides of the vertical GaN LED to protect the element against external impact and to easily separate the chip. Further, a metallic substrate is used instead of a sapphire substrate to efficiently release the generated heat to the outside when the element is operated, so that the LED can be suitable for a high-power application and an element having improved optical output characteristics can also be manufactured. A metallic support layer is formed to protect the element from being distorted or damaged due to impact.

    Abstract: The light intensity emitted from a package is increased by adjusting a portion of the package encapsulant so that light impacting the side walls of the adjusted encapsulant portion will encounter total internal reflection (TIR) with the reflected light directed toward the top surface of the package. The adjusted portion of the package is positioned so that air can be used as the second (exterior) medium with the critical TIR angle being such that light emitted from a light source (such as from an LED die) will be directed primarily so as to escape the package from the top surface as opposed to being scattered internal to the package. In one embodiment, a lower portion of the encapsulant is surrounded by a casing to inwardly direct light from the light source that impacts the side of the encapsulant with an angle less than the critical TIR angle.

  • Patent number: 7948046
    Abstract: An optoelectronic component having a basic housing or frame and at least one semiconductor chip, specifically a radiation-emitting or-receiving semiconductor chip, in a cavity of the basic housing. In order to increase the efficiency of the optoelectronic component, reflectors are provided in the cavity in the region around the semiconductor chip. These reflectors are formed by virtue of the fact that a filling compound filled at least partly into the cavity is provided, the material and the quantity of the filling compound being chosen in such a way that the filling compound, on account of the adhesion force between the filling compound and the basic housing, assumes a form which widens essentially conically from bottom to top in the cavity, and the conical inner areas of the filling compound serve as reflector.
