Monolithic Series/Parallel Led Arrays Formed On Highly Resistive Substrates

View page
US Patent:
6547249, Apr 15, 2003
Filed:
Mar 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/823824
Inventors:
Jerome Chandra Bhat - San Jose CA
Daniel Alexander Steigerwald - Cupertino CA
Assignee:
Lumileds Lighting U.S., LLC - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H01L 3300
US Classification:
277 88, 257 89, 257 90, 257 97, 257 98, 257 99
Abstract:
Series or parallel LED arrays are formed on a highly resistive substrate, such that both the p- and n-contacts for the array are on the same side of the array. The individual LEDs are electrically isolated from each other by trenches or by ion implantation. Interconnects deposited on the array connects the contacts of the individual LEDs in the array. In some embodiments, the LEDs are III-nitride devices formed on sapphire substrates. In one embodiment, two LEDs formed on a single substrate are connected in antiparallel to form a monolithic electrostatic discharge protection circuit. In one embodiment, multiple LEDs formed on a single substrate are connected in series. In one embodiment, multiple LEDs formed on a single substrate are connected in parallel. In some embodiments, a layer of phosphor covers a portion of the substrate on which one or more individual LEDs is formed.

Semiconductor Led Flip-Chip With High Reflectivity Dielectric Coating On The Mesa

US Patent:
6630689, Oct 7, 2003
Filed:
May 9, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/852857
Inventors:
Jerome Chandra Bhat - San Francisco CA
Daniel Alexander Steigerwald - Cupertino CA
Assignee:
Lumileds Lighting, U.S. LLC - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H01L 2715
US Classification:
257 79, 257 99
Abstract:
In one embodiment of the present invention, a highly reflective dielectric stack is formed on the mesa wall of a flip-chip LED. The layers of the dielectric stack are selected to maximize reflection of light incident at angles ranging from -10 to 30 degrees, relative to the substrate. The dielectric stack is comprised of alternating low refractive index and high refractive index layers. In some embodiments, the LED is a III-nitride device with a p-contact containing silver, the dielectric stack layer adjacent to the mesa wall has a low refractive index compared to GaN, and the low refractive index layers are Al O.

US Patent:
6828596, Dec 7, 2004
Filed:
Jun 13, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/172311
Inventors:
Daniel A. Steigerwald - Cupertino CA
Jerome C. Bhat - San Francisco CA
Michael J. Ludowise - San Jose CA
Assignee:
Lumileds Lighting U.S., LLC - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H01L 3300
US Classification:
257 99, 257 88, 257 93, 438 34, 438 42, 438 46, 438 47, 313505
Abstract:
In accordance with the invention, a light emitting device includes a substrate, a layer of first conductivity type overlying the substrate, a light emitting layer overlying the layer of first conductivity type, and a layer of second conductivity type overlying the light emitting layer. A plurality of vias are formed in the layer of second conductivity type, down to the layer of first conductivity type. The vias may be formed by, for example, etching, ion implantation, or selective growth of the layer of second conductivity type. A set of first contacts electrically contacts the layer of first conductivity type through the vias. A second contact electrically contacts the layer of second conductivity type. In some embodiments, the area of the second contact is at least 75% of the area of the device. In some embodiments, the vias are between 2 and 100 microns wide and spaced between 5 and 1000 microns apart.

US Patent:
6876008, Apr 5, 2005
Filed:
Jul 31, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/632719
Inventors:
Jerome C. Bhat - San Francisco CA, US
Cresente S. Elpedes - San Jose CA, US
Paul S. Martin - Pleasanton CA, US
Serge L. Rudaz - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Lumileds Lighting U.S., LLC - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H01L029/22
H01L033/00
H01L029/207
H01L029/227
US Classification:
257 99, 257 84, 257 93, 257 98
Abstract:
A device includes a submount, and a semiconductor light emitting device mounted on first and second conductive regions on a first side of the submount in a flip chip architecture configuration. The submount has third and fourth conductive regions on a second side of the submount. The third and fourth conductive regions may be used to solder the submount to structure such as a board, without the use of wire bonds. The first and third conductive regions are electrically connected by a first conductive layer and the second and fourth conductive regions are electrically connected by a second conductive layer. The first and second conductive layers may be disposed on the outside of the submount or within the submount.

US Patent:
6885035, Apr 26, 2005
Filed:
May 15, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/859154
Inventors:
Jerome C. Bhat - San Jose CA, US
Daniel A. Steigerwald - Cupertino CA, US
Reena Khare - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Lumileds Lighting U.S., LLC - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H01L027/15
H01L029/20
US Classification:
257 99, 257 79, 257 81, 257 88, 257103
Abstract:
A light emitting device includes several LEDs, mounted on a shared submount, and coupled to circuitry formed on the submount. The LEDs can be of the III-Nitride type. The architecture of the LEDs can be either inverted, or non-inverted. Inverted LEDs offer improved light generation. The LEDs may emit light of the same wavelength or different wavelengths. The circuitry can couple the LEDs in a combination of series and parallel, and can be switchable between various configurations. Other circuitry can include photosensitive devices for feedback and control of the intensity of the emitted light, or an oscillator, strobing the LEDs.

US Patent:
6946685, Sep 20, 2005
Filed:
Aug 31, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/652194
Inventors:
Daniel A. Steigerwald - Cupertino CA, US
Michael J. Ludowise - San Jose CA, US
Steven A. Maranowski - San Jose CA, US
Serge L. Rudaz - Sunnyvale CA, US
Jerome C. Bhat - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Lumileds Lighting U.S., LLC - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H01L029/22
US Classification:
257 94, 257 96, 257488, 257745
Abstract:
Silver electrode metallization in light emitting devices is subject to electrochemical migration in the presence of moisture and an electric field. Electrochemical migration of the silver metallization to the pn junction of the device results in an alternate shunt path across the junction, which degrades efficiency of the device. In accordance with a form of this invention, a migration barrier is provided for preventing migration of metal from at least one of the electrodes onto the surface of the semiconductor layer with which the electrode is in contact.
