Description

Light emitting semiconductor device and submounts and forming method thereof
Related application
The application's book requires the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.60/528 that is entitled as " LED Package IncluingRecsssed Submount (comprising the LED encapsulation of caviton support) " of filing on December 9th, 2003, the priority of 054 (the file number No.P0393 of agency), it is open, and attached in full this is for referencial use.
Background of invention
The present invention relates to light emitting semiconductor device and manufacture method thereof, more particularly, relate to encapsulation and method for packing that light emitting semiconductor device is used.

Generally, LED comprises n-type substrate, the n-type epi region that forms and the p-type epi region that forms on n-type epi region on this n-type substrate.For the ease of applying voltage to this device, an anode ohmic contact (general, be the p-type epitaxial loayer that exposes) can be on the p-of this device type zone, formed and cathode ohmic contact (such as this substrate or the n-type epitaxial loayer that exposes) can be on the n-of this device type zone, formed.Thereby this ohm contact may provide contact node for this LED is connected to electronic circuit.
Illustrational as Fig. 1, traditional LED70 can be encapsulated in the standard packaging 72, can comprise a conductive/reflective support rotor 73, and itself can be connected to anode/cathode lead 75A.This led chip 70 generally is installed in the cup that has silver epoxy.The anode/cathode of this led chip 70 can be wire bonded to anode/cathode lead 75B.Whole then encapsulation is passable, for example, is encapsulated in the transparent epoxy resin 78.For the led chip of emission white light, sealant 78 can comprise material for transformation of wave length, such as the phosphorus of wavelength Conversion.In a typical white light LEDs is used, from some blue light excitation wavelength transition material of these chip 70 emissions, so that the long light of emission wavelength, such as gold-tinted.The light long from non-switched " blue light of the " of this chip and the wavelength of launching from phosphorus combines, and synthesize white light can be launched from this encapsulation.
The flip-chip installation method of LED relates to this LED is installed on the submounts, and substrate up.Can extract light then and pass through this transparent substrate emission.The flip-chip installation method may be the favourable technology of installing based on the LED of SiC.Because SiC usually has the refractive index higher than GaN, may not internal reflection (that is reflected back is based on layer of GaN) on this GaN/SiC interface at the light that light emitting area produces.When using the known chip forming technique of some prior art, can provide the light extraction of improvement based on the flip-chip installation method of the LED of SiC.SiC LED Flip-Chip Using can also have other advantage, such as improving heat extraction/dissipation, depends on the specific application of this chip, and this may be favourable.
