Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、発光ダイオード等の発光素子を用いた表示装置等に用いられる、発光素子を収納するための発光素子収納用パッケージおよび発光装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、発光ダイオード等の発光素子を収納するための発光素子収納用パッケージ(以下、パッケージともいう)として、セラミック製のパッケージが用いられており、その一例を図15に示す(例えば、下記の特許文献1参照)。同図に示すように、従来のパッケージは、複数のセラミック層が積層されているとともに上面に凹部24が形成されている直方体状の絶縁基体の凹部24の底面の発光素子23搭載される部位に導体層から成る搭載部22が設けられた基体21と、基体21の搭載部22およびその周辺から基体21の下面に形成され、搭載部22に一方が電気的に接続された一対の配線層25とから主に構成されている。
【0003】
そして、搭載部22上に発光素子23を導電性接着剤、半田等を介して載置固定するとともに、発光素子23の電極と一対の配線層25の他方とをボンディングワイヤ26を介して電気的に接続し、しかる後、基体21の凹部24内に樹脂(透明樹脂)を充填して発光素子23を封止することによって、発光装置が作製される。
【0004】
また、凹部24の内面で発光素子23の光を反射させてパッケージの上方に光を放射させるために、凹部24の内面にニッケル(Ni)めっき層や金(Au)めっき層等のめっき金属層を表面に有するメタライズ金属層からなる金属層27を被着させていることもある。
【0005】
また、上記のパッケージはセラミックグリーンシート積層法により以下のようにして製作される。まず、基体21の搭載部22(搭載部22から下側)を形成するためのセラミックグリーンシート(以下、グリーンシートともいう)と、基体21の凹部24を形成するためのグリーンシートとを準備し、これらのグリーンシートに配線層25を導出させるための貫通孔や凹部24となる貫通穴を打ち抜き法で形成する。
【0006】
次に、搭載部22を形成するためのグリーンシートの積層体Aの貫通孔および所定の部位にメタライズ層から成る配線層を形成するための導体ペーストをスクリーン印刷法等で印刷塗布し、また凹部24の内面にメタライズ金属層を被着する場合、凹部24を形成するためのグリーンシートの積層体Bの貫通穴内面にメタライズ金属層形成用の導体ペーストをスクリーン印刷法等で印刷塗布する。
【0007】
次に、積層体A,Bを重ねて接着して基体21を形成するための積層体とし、これを所定寸法に切断して成形体となし、高温(1600℃程度)で焼成して焼結体となす。その後、配線層およびメタライズ金属層の露出表面にニッケル,金,パラジウム,白金等の金属から成るめっき金属層を無電解めっき法や電解めっき法により被着させることによって、パッケージが製作される。
【0008】
また、パッケージの小型化に伴い、配線層25と外部電気回路基板との接合面積が小さくなり接合強度が低下してしまうため、外部電気回路基板との接合を強固にするために、基体21の側面に配線層を形成する方法が用いられており、配線層25を基体21の側面に形成する方法として、基体21の側面に配線層25となる導体ペーストを印刷塗布して形成する方法や、基体21の角部に切欠き部を形成してその側面に配線層25を形成する方法等がある。
【0009】
【特許文献1】
特開2002−232017号公報
【0010】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記従来のパッケージにおいては、基体21の角部に平面視形状が円弧状の切欠き部を形成してその側面に配線層25を形成する方法では、外部電気回路基板との接合強度を向上させるために4つの角部に広領域に切欠き部を形成すると、基体21の機械的強度が低下したり、凹部24の領域が小さくなり、また、基体21の機械的強度を向上させたり、凹部24の領域を確保しようとすると、パッケージが大型化するという問題点を有していた。
【0011】
従って、本発明は上記従来の問題点に鑑みて完成されたものであり、その目的は、外部電気回路基板の配線導体に強固に接合することができる接合の信頼性が高い発光素子収納用パッケージおよび発光装置を提供することにある。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の発光素子収納用パッケージは、直方体状の絶縁基体の上面に発光素子を収容するための凹部が設けられ、該凹部の底面に前記発光素子が搭載される搭載部および前記発光素子の電極が接続される配線層が形成されているとともに、前記絶縁基体の4つの角部に下面から上方に向けて形成された切欠き部に前記配線層と電気的に接続された側面導体層が形成されている発光素子収納用パッケージであって、前記切欠き部は、対角位置にあるもの同士の幅が同じであるとともに隣接するもの同士では幅が異なっていることを特徴とする。
【0013】
本発明の発光素子収納用パッケージは、直方体状の絶縁基体の4つの角部に下面から上方に向けて形成された切欠き部は、対角位置にあるもの同士の幅が同じであるとともに隣接するもの同士では幅が異なっていることから、4つの角部に形成される切欠き部全体による絶縁基体の体積の低下が大きくならないので、絶縁基体の機械的強度がほとんど低下せずに維持される。また、4つのうちの2つの切欠き部は、大きく形成されているので、外部電気回路基板の配線導体との間にろう材の良好なメニスカスを形成することができ、外部電気回路基板に強固に接合することができる。
【0014】
また、4つの切欠き部は対角位置にあるもの同士の幅が同じであるとともに隣接するもの同士では幅が異なっているが、対角位置にある切欠き部に形成される側面導体同士に付着する半田の量は同じになり、4つの切欠き部の側面導体と外部電気回路基板の配線導体との接合時にかかる力のバランスを全体として保つことができるので、バランスよく外部電気回路基板に接合することができ、外部電気回路基板との接合時にパッケージの特定の一側面に力が大きく加わって傾き等が発生することはない。その結果、発光素子が発光する光を外部に方向性良く放射することができる。
【0015】
本発明の発光装置は、本発明の発光素子収納用パッケージと、前記搭載部に搭載されるとともに前記配線層に電極が電気的に接続された発光素子と、該発光素子を覆う透明樹脂とを具備していることを特徴とする。
【0016】
本発明の発光装置は、上記の構成により、外部電気回路基板の配線導体に強固に接合することができる信頼性の高いものとなる。
【0017】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の発光素子収納用パッケージを以下に詳細に説明する。図1は、本発明のパッケージの実施の形態の一例を示す平面図であり、図2は図1のX1−X1線における断面図、図3は図1のX2−X2線における断面図であり、これらの図において、1は絶縁基体、2は発光素子3が搭載される搭載部、3は発光素子、4は発光素子3を収容するための凹部である。
【0018】
本発明のパッケージは、直方体状の絶縁基体1の上面に発光素子3を収容するための凹部4が設けられ、凹部4の底面に発光素子3が搭載される搭載部2および発光素子3の電極が接続される配線層5a,5bが形成されているとともに、絶縁基体1の4つの角部に下面から上方に向けて形成された切欠き部8a〜8dに配線層5a,5bと電気的に接続された側面導体層9a,9bが形成されているものであって、切欠き部8a〜8dは、対角位置にあるもの同士の幅が同じであるとともに隣接するもの同士では幅が異なっている。
【0019】
本発明における絶縁基体1はセラミックスや樹脂から成り、セラミックスからなる場合、例えば酸化アルミニウム質焼結体(アルミナセラミックス),窒化アルミニウム質焼結体,ムライト質焼結体,ガラスセラミックス質焼結体等のセラミックスから成る絶縁層を複数層積層してなる直方体状の箱状であり、この上面の中央部に発光素子3を収容するための凹部4が形成されている。
【0020】
絶縁基体1が酸化アルミニウム質焼結体から成る場合、酸化アルミニウム,酸化珪素,酸化マグネシウム,酸化カルシウム等の原料粉末に適当な有機バインダー,溶剤等を添加混合して泥漿状となし、これを従来周知のドクターブレード法やカレンダーロール法等によりシート状に成形してセラミックグリーンシート(セラミック生シートで、以下、グリーンシートともいう)を得、しかる後、グリーンシートに凹部4用の貫通孔を打ち抜き加工で形成し、発光素子3を搭載するためのグリーンシートと凹部4用のグリーンシートとを複数枚積層し、高温(約1600℃)で焼成し一体化することで形成される。
【0021】
また、凹部4の底面には発光素子3を搭載するための導体層から成る搭載部2が形成されており、搭載部2はタングステン(W),モリブデン(Mo),銅(Cu),銀(Ag)等の金属粉末のメタライズ層から成っている。
【0022】
また、絶縁基体1は、搭載部2およびその周辺から絶縁基体1の側面に形成された側面導体層9a,9bに電気的に接続された配線層5a,5bが被着形成されている。配線層5a,5bは、WやMo等の金属粉末のメタライズ層から成り、凹部4に収容する発光素子3を外部に電気的に接続するための導電路である。そして、搭載部2には発光ダイオード(LED),半導体レーザ(LD)等の発光素子3が金(Au)−シリコン(Si)合金やAg−エポキシ樹脂等の導電性接合材により固着されるとともに、配線層5bには発光素子3の電極がボンディングワイヤ6を介して電気的に接続されている。また、発光素子3は搭載部2および配線層5bにフリップチップ実装により接続されても構わない。
【0023】
配線層5a,5bは、例えばWやMo等の金属粉末に適当な有機溶剤、溶媒を添加混合して得た導体ペーストを絶縁基体1となるグリーンシートに予めスクリーン印刷法により所定パターンに印刷塗布しておくことによって、絶縁基体1の所定位置に被着形成される。
【0024】
なお、配線層5a,5bおよび搭載部2の露出する表面に、ニッケル(Ni),金(Au),Ag等の耐蝕性に優れる金属を1〜20μm程度の厚みで被着させておくのがよく、配線層5a,5bおよび搭載部2が酸化腐蝕するのを有効に防止できるとともに、搭載部2と発光素子3との固着および配線層5bとボンディングワイヤ6との接合を強固にすることができる。従って、配線層5a,5bおよび搭載部2の露出表面には、厚さ1〜10μm程度のNiめっき層と厚さ0.1〜3μm程度のAuめっき層またはAgめっき層とが、電解めっき法や無電解めっき法により順次被着されていることがより好ましい。
【0025】
また、凹部4の内周面にはメタライズ金属層および発光素子3の光に対する反射率が80%以上であるめっき金属層を被着した金属層7が形成されていることが好ましい。この金属層7は、例えば、WやMo等からなるメタライズ金属層上にNi,Au,Ag等のめっき金属層を被着させてなり、これにより発光素子3の光に対する反射率を80%以上とすることができる。発光素子3の光に対する反射率が80%未満であると、凹部4に収容された発光素子3の光を良好に反射することが困難となる。
【0026】
また、凹部4の内周面は、傾斜面となっているとともに凹部4の底面から絶縁基体1の上面に向けて35〜70°の角度で外側に広がっていることが好ましい。角度θが70°を超えると、凹部4内に収容された発光素子3の光を外部に対して良好に反射することが困難となる傾向にある。一方、角度θが35°未満であると、凹部4の内周面をそのような角度で安定かつ効率良く形成することが困難となる傾向にあるとともに、パッケージが大型化してしまう。
【0027】
また、凹部4の内周面の金属層7の表面の算術平均粗さはRaは1〜3μmが好ましい。1μm未満であると、凹部4内に収容された発光素子3の光を均一に反射させることが難しくなり、反射する光の強さに偏りが発生し易くなる。3μmを超えると、凹部4内に収容された発光素子3の光が散乱し、反射光を高い反射率で外部に均一に放射することが困難になる。
【0028】
また凹部4は、その横断面形状は円形状、楕円形状、長円形状、四角形状等の種々の形状とし得るが、円形状が好ましい。この場合、凹部4に収容された発光素子3の光を、凹部4の内周面の金属層7表面のめっき層でパッケージの上方に満遍なく反射させて外部に極めて均一に放射することができる。
【0029】
また、絶縁基体1の4つの角部に下面から上方に向けて切欠き部8a〜8dが形成されており、切欠き部8a〜8dには、搭載部2および配線層5a,5bと電気的に接続された側面導体層9a,9bがそれぞれ形成されている。そして、本発明においては、対角位置にある切欠き部8a,8d同士および切欠き部8b,8c同士の幅が同じであるとともに、隣接する切欠き部、すなわち切欠き部8aに対する切欠き部8b,8cおよび切欠き部8dに対する切欠き部8b,8cでは幅が異なっている。
【0030】
これにより、4つの角部に形成された切欠き部8a〜8d全体によって絶縁基体1の体積の低下が大きくならないので、絶縁基体1の機械的強度はほとんど低下しない。また、4つの切欠き部8a〜8dのうちの2つの切欠き部8b,8cは大きく形成されているので、外部電気回路基板の配線導体との間にろう材の良好なメニスカスを形成することができ、外部電気回路基板に強固に接合することができる。
【0031】
また、4つの切欠き部は対角位置にある切欠き部8a,8d同士および切欠き部8b,8c同士の幅が同じであるとともに、切欠き部8aに隣接する切欠き部8b,8cおよび切欠き部8dに隣接する切欠き部8b,8cでは幅が異なっているが、対角位置にある切欠き部8a,8d同士および切欠き部8b,8c同士の幅はそれぞれ同じであるので、対角位置にある切欠き部8aの側面導体9aと切欠き部8dの側面導体9bに付着する半田の量が同じになり、また、対角位置にある切欠き部8bの側面導体9bと切欠き部8cの側面導体9aに付着する半田の量が同じになる。その結果、側面導体9a,9bと外部電気回路基板の配線導体との接合時にかかる力のバランス等を全体的に保つことができ、外部電気回路基板との接合時にパッケージの特定の一側面に力が大きく加わって傾き等が発生することはない。したがって、発光素子3の光を外部に方向性良く放射することができる。
【0032】
切欠き部8a〜8dに形成された側面導体層9a,9bは、WやMo等の金属粉末のメタライズ層から成り、凹部4に収容する発光素子3を外部に電気的に接続するための導電路である。側面導体層9a,9bが外部電気回路基板の配線導体に接続されることで、搭載部2および配線層5a,5bを介して発光素子3の各電極と電気的に接続され、発光素子3へ電力や駆動信号が供給される。
【0033】
そして、側面導体層9a,9bは、WやMo等の金属粉末に適当な有機溶剤、溶媒を添加混合して得た導体ペーストを絶縁基体1となるグリーンシートの切欠き部8a〜8dの位置にスクリーン印刷法により所定パターンに印刷塗布しておくことによって、切欠き部8a〜8dの所定位置に被着される。
【0034】
また、側面導体層9a,9bの露出する表面に、Ni,Au,Ag等の耐食性に優れる金属を1〜20μm程度の厚みで被着させておくのが良く、側面導体層9a,9bが酸化腐食するのを有効に防止できるとともに、側面導体層9a,9bと外部電気回路回路基板の配線導体との接合を強固にすることができる。従って、側面導体層9a,9bの露出表面には、厚さ1〜10μm程度のNiめっき層と厚さ0.1〜3μm程度のAuめっき層またはAgめっき層とが、電界めっき法や無電解めっき法により順次被着されていることがより好ましい。
【0035】
そして、切欠き部8a〜8dは、グリーンシートやその積層体に切欠き部8a〜8dとなる貫通孔を形成し、その内周面に導体ペーストをスクリーン印刷法等で印刷塗布した後、所定寸法に切断する際に貫通孔も分割することで形成することができる。
【0036】
また、パッケージが非常に小型な場合においても、取り扱いを容易とし、多数のパッケージを同時に効率よく製造するために、複数のパッケージが縦横に配列した多数個取り用の基板から作製することができる。この場合を、例えば図1のパッケージを製作する場合について、図4に従って説明する。セラミック層1a,1b(図2,図3)を形成するためのグリーンシート11a,11bは、例えば絶縁基体1が酸化アルミニウム質焼結体(アルミナセラミックス)から成る場合、酸化アルミニウム,酸化珪素,酸化カルシウム,酸化マグネシウム等のセラミック原料粉末に適当な有機バインダー,溶剤,可塑剤,分散剤等を添加混合して泥漿状となし、これをドクターブレード法等のシート成形技術によって所定厚みのシート状とすることにより製作される。
【0037】
次に、図4(a)に示すように、グリーンシート11aに凹部4を形成するための貫通孔12を金型等で打ち抜いて形成し、グリーンシート11bに配線層5a,5bを絶縁基体1の搭載部2から下面に導出させるための貫通孔を打ち抜いた後、グリーンシート11bの貫通孔内またはその上下面に、配線層5a,5bおよび搭載部2を形成するための導体ペーストをスクリーン印刷法で所定パターンに印刷塗布する。
【0038】
次に、図4(b)に示すように、グリーンシート11aに長円形状の貫通孔13aを金型等で打ち抜いて形成した後、貫通孔12の内面に金属層7を形成するための導体ペーストおよび貫通孔13aの内面に分割後に側面導体層9a,9bとなる内面導体層14aを形成するための導体ペーストをそれぞれ所定パターンに印刷塗布する。同様に、グリーンシート11bに長円形状の貫通孔13bを金型等で打ち抜いて形成した後、貫通孔13bの内面に、分割後に側面導体層9a,9bとなる内面導体層14bを形成するための導体ペーストを所定パターンに印刷塗布する。
【0039】
次に、図4(c)に示すように、グリーンシート11a,11bを積層することで、貫通孔13a,13bおよび内面導体層14a,14bを重ねて成る貫通孔13および内面導体層14、凹部4が形成されたグリーンシート積層体11が形成される。このグリーンシート積層体11に、絶縁基体1となる領域を個々に区切るように行列状に並んだ複数の貫通孔13および内面導体層14を縦横に跨る分割線であって、切欠き部8a〜8dおよび側面導体層9a,9bを形成するための分割溝15を、対角位置にある切欠き部8a,8d同士および切欠き部8b,8c同士の幅が同じであるとともに、隣接する切欠き部、すなわち切欠き部8aに対する切欠き部8b,8cおよび切欠き部8cに対する切欠き部8b,8cでは幅が異なるように形成する。
【0040】
その後、グリーンシート積層体11およびこれに塗布された導体ペースト層を高温(約1600℃程度)で焼成することによって、セラミック層1a,1bからなる焼結体を得る。この焼結体の導電層の露出表面に電解めっき法や無電解めっき法によりニッケル,金,白金,パラジウム等のめっき金属層を被着し、これを分割溝15に沿って個々に分割することによって、切欠き部8a〜8dおよび側面導体層9a,9bを形成するための分割溝15を、対角位置にある切欠き部8a,8d同士および切欠き部8b,8c同士の幅が同じであるとともに隣接する切欠き部8a,8c同士および切欠き部8b,8d同士では幅が異なっているパッケージが完成する。(図4(d))。
【0041】
上記のような方法で製作することで、切欠き部8a〜8dおよび側面導体層9a,9bの形成と、載置部2、配線層5a,5b、金属層7および側面導体層9a,9bへのめっき層の被着も一括的に行うことができ、多数のパッケージを簡略に製作することができる。
【0042】
また、図4(a),(b)の方法において、例えば、図4(b)の工程を経た後に図4(a)の工程を行なっても良く、グリーンシート11aに貫通孔12と貫通孔13aとを金型等で同時に打ち抜いて形成したり、グリーンシート11bに配線層5a,5bを絶縁基体1の搭載部2から下面に導出させるための貫通孔と貫通孔13bとを金型等で同時に打ち抜いて形成したりする方法でも良く、この場合も簡略に製作することができる。
【0043】
また、側面導体層9の形成方法としては、グリーンシート11a,11bに貫通孔13a,13bをそれぞれ形成した後、貫通孔13a,13bに導体ペーストを充填させた後、貫通孔13a,13bに充填した導体ペーストの一部を金型等で打ち抜いたり、レーザ光等で打ち抜くことで側面導体層9を形成しても構わない。
【0044】
また、グリーンシート11a,11bを積層し、グリーンシート積層体11を形成した後に貫通孔13を一括して打ち抜いて形成して側面導体層9a,9bを形成する方法を用いても構わない。
【0045】
また、グリーンシート積層体11に分割溝15を形成せずに焼結し、焼結体の導電層の露出表面にめっき金属層を被着した後、スライシング法等を用いて分割して、パッケージとして完成させることもできる。
【0046】

本発明の発光素子収納用パッケージは、直方体状の絶縁基体の4つの角部に下面から上方に向けて形成された切欠き部は、対角位置にあるもの同士の幅が同じであるとともに隣接するもの同士では幅が異なっていることから、4つの角部に形成される切欠き部全体による絶縁基体の体積の低下が大きくならないので、絶縁基体の機械的強度がほとんど低下せずに維持される。また、4つのうちの2つの切欠き部は、大きく形成されているので、外部電気回路基板の配線導体との間にろう材の良好なメニスカスを形成することができ、外部電気回路基板に強固に接合することができる。
【0055】
また、4つの切欠き部は対角位置にあるもの同士の幅が同じであるとともに隣接するもの同士では幅が異なっているが、対角位置にある切欠き部に形成される側面導体同士に付着する半田の量は同じになり、4つの切欠き部の側面導体と外部電気回路基板の配線導体との接合時にかかる力のバランスを全体として保つことができるので、バランスよく外部電気回路基板に接合することができ、外部電気回路基板との接合時にパッケージの特定の一側面に力が大きく加わって傾き等が発生することはない。その結果、発光素子が発光する光を外部に方向性良く放射することができる。
【0056】
本発明の発光装置は、本発明の発光素子収納用パッケージと、搭載部に搭載されるとともに配線層に電極が電気的に接続された発光素子と、発光素子を覆う透明樹脂とを具備していることにより、外部電気回路基板の配線導体に強固に接合することができる信頼性の高いものとなる。

It is mainly composed of
[0003]
Then, the light emitting element 23 is mounted and fixed on the mounting portion 22 via a conductive adhesive, solder, or the like, and the electrodes of the light emitting element 23 and the other of the pair of wiring layers 25 are electrically connected via the bonding wires 26. Then, a resin (transparent resin) is filled in the concave portion 24 of the base 21 and the light emitting element 23 is sealed, whereby a light emitting device is manufactured.
[0004]
Further, in order to reflect the light of the light emitting element 23 on the inner surface of the recess 24 and emit the light above the package, a plating metal layer such as a nickel (Ni) plating layer or a gold (Au) plating layer is formed on the inner surface of the recess 24. In some cases, a metal layer 27 made of a metallized metal layer having on the surface thereof is adhered.
[0005]
The above package is manufactured by the ceramic green sheet laminating method as follows. First, a ceramic green sheet (hereinafter, also referred to as a green sheet) for forming the mounting portion 22 (below the mounting portion 22) of the base 21 and a green sheet for forming the concave portion 24 of the base 21 are prepared. Through holes for forming the wiring layers 25 and the recesses 24 are formed in these green sheets by a punching method.
[0006]
Next, a conductor paste for forming a wiring layer made of a metallized layer is printed and applied to the through-holes and predetermined portions of the green sheet laminate A for forming the mounting portion 22 by a screen printing method or the like. When the metallized metal layer is applied to the inner surface of the green sheet 24, a conductor paste for forming the metallized metal layer is printed and applied to the inner surface of the through-hole of the green sheet laminate B for forming the recess 24 by a screen printing method or the like.
[0007]

The light-emitting element housing package of the present invention is provided with a recess for housing the light-emitting element on an upper surface of a rectangular parallelepiped insulating base, a mounting portion on which the light-emitting element is mounted on a bottom surface of the recess, and an electrode of the light-emitting element. Are formed, and side conductor layers electrically connected to the wiring layer are formed in cutouts formed upward from the lower surface at four corners of the insulating base. Wherein the notch portions have the same width at diagonal positions and have different widths at adjacent portions.
[0013]
In the package for housing a light-emitting element of the present invention, the notches formed at the four corners of the rectangular parallelepiped insulating base upward from the lower surface have the same width at the diagonal positions and are adjacent to each other. Since the widths of the notches are different from each other, the reduction of the volume of the insulating substrate due to the entire cutouts formed at the four corners does not increase so that the mechanical strength of the insulating substrate is maintained with almost no reduction. You. Further, since two of the four notches are formed to be large, a good meniscus of brazing material can be formed between the notch and the wiring conductor of the external electric circuit board, and the external electric circuit board is firmly formed. Can be joined.
[0014]
Also, the four notches have the same width at the diagonal positions and have different widths at adjacent ones, but the side conductors formed at the diagonal notches have the same width. The amount of solder to be attached is the same, and the balance of the force applied at the time of joining the side conductors of the four notches and the wiring conductors of the external electric circuit board can be maintained as a whole. The package can be joined, and a large force is not applied to one specific side surface of the package at the time of joining with the external electric circuit board, so that inclination or the like does not occur. As a result, light emitted by the light emitting element can be radiated to the outside with good directivity.

It is characterized by having.
[0016]
The light emitting device of the present invention has high reliability that can be firmly joined to the wiring conductor of the external electric circuit board by the above configuration.
[0017]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The light emitting element housing package of the present invention will be described in detail below. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of an embodiment of a package according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line X1-X1 in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line X2-X2 in FIG. In these figures, 1 is an insulating base, 2 is a mounting portion on which the light emitting element 3 is mounted, 3 is a light emitting element, and 4 is a recess for accommodating the light emitting element 3.
[0018]
In the package of the present invention, a concave portion 4 for accommodating the light emitting element 3 is provided on the upper surface of the rectangular parallelepiped insulating base 1, and the mounting portion 2 on which the light emitting element 3 is mounted on the bottom surface of the concave portion 4 and the electrode of the light emitting element 3. Are formed at the four corners of the insulating substrate 1 and cutouts 8a to 8d formed upward from the lower surface to electrically connect with the wiring layers 5a and 5b. The connected side conductor layers 9a and 9b are formed, and the notch portions 8a to 8d have the same width between those located at diagonal positions and different widths between adjacent ones. I have.
[0019]
The insulating substrate 1 according to the present invention is made of ceramic or resin, and when made of ceramics, for example, aluminum oxide sintered body (alumina ceramic), aluminum nitride sintered body, mullite sintered body, glass ceramic sintered body, etc. It has a rectangular parallelepiped box shape formed by laminating a plurality of insulating layers made of ceramics, and a concave portion 4 for accommodating the light emitting element 3 is formed at the center of the upper surface.
[0020]
When the insulating substrate 1 is made of an aluminum oxide sintered body, an appropriate organic binder, a solvent or the like is added to a raw material powder such as aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, etc., and the mixture is formed into a slurry. It is formed into a sheet by a well-known doctor blade method, calendar roll method, or the like to obtain a ceramic green sheet (a green ceramic sheet, hereinafter also referred to as a green sheet), and thereafter, a through hole for the recess 4 is punched in the green sheet. It is formed by processing, laminating a plurality of green sheets for mounting the light emitting elements 3 and green sheets for the concave portions 4, and firing and integrating them at a high temperature (about 1600 ° C.).
[0021]
A mounting portion 2 made of a conductor layer for mounting the light emitting element 3 is formed on the bottom surface of the concave portion 4, and the mounting portion 2 is made of tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), silver ( Ag) and other metal powder layers.
[0022]
The insulating base 1 is formed with wiring layers 5a and 5b electrically connected to the side surface conductor layers 9a and 9b formed on the side surface of the insulating base 1 from the mounting portion 2 and its periphery. The wiring layers 5a and 5b are formed of a metallized layer of a metal powder such as W or Mo, and are conductive paths for electrically connecting the light emitting element 3 housed in the recess 4 to the outside. A light emitting element 3 such as a light emitting diode (LED) or a semiconductor laser (LD) is fixed to the mounting portion 2 by a conductive bonding material such as a gold (Au) -silicon (Si) alloy or an Ag-epoxy resin. The electrode of the light emitting element 3 is electrically connected to the wiring layer 5b via the bonding wire 6. Further, the light emitting element 3 may be connected to the mounting section 2 and the wiring layer 5b by flip chip mounting.
[0023]
The wiring layers 5a and 5b are printed and coated in a predetermined pattern by a screen printing method in advance on a green sheet serving as the insulating substrate 1 with a conductive paste obtained by adding a suitable organic solvent and a solvent to a metal powder such as W or Mo. By doing so, it is adhered and formed at a predetermined position on the insulating base 1.
[0024]
It is preferable that a metal having excellent corrosion resistance, such as nickel (Ni), gold (Au), or Ag, be applied to the exposed surfaces of the wiring layers 5a and 5b and the mounting portion 2 in a thickness of about 1 to 20 μm. In addition, it is possible to effectively prevent the wiring layers 5a and 5b and the mounting portion 2 from being oxidized and corroded, and to firmly bond the mounting portion 2 to the light emitting element 3 and bond the wiring layer 5b and the bonding wire 6. it can. Therefore, on the exposed surfaces of the wiring layers 5a and 5b and the mounting portion 2, a Ni plating layer having a thickness of about 1 to 10 μm and an Au plating layer or an Ag plating layer having a thickness of about 0.1 to 3 μm are formed by an electrolytic plating method. More preferably, they are sequentially applied by an electroless plating method.
[0025]
Further, it is preferable that a metal layer 7 coated with a metallized metal layer and a plated metal layer having a reflectance of 80% or more with respect to light of the light emitting element 3 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the concave portion 4. The metal layer 7 is formed by depositing a plated metal layer of Ni, Au, Ag, or the like on a metallized metal layer made of, for example, W or Mo, so that the light-emitting element 3 has a light reflectance of 80% or more. It can be. If the reflectance of the light emitting element 3 with respect to the light is less than 80%, it becomes difficult to satisfactorily reflect the light of the light emitting element 3 accommodated in the recess 4.
[0026]
It is preferable that the inner peripheral surface of the concave portion 4 is an inclined surface and extends outward at an angle of 35 to 70 ° from the bottom surface of the concave portion 4 toward the upper surface of the insulating base 1. When the angle θ exceeds 70 °, it tends to be difficult to favorably reflect light of the light emitting element 3 housed in the recess 4 to the outside. On the other hand, if the angle θ is less than 35 °, it tends to be difficult to form the inner peripheral surface of the concave portion 4 stably and efficiently at such an angle, and the package becomes large.
[0027]
The arithmetic average roughness Ra of the surface of the metal layer 7 on the inner peripheral surface of the concave portion 4 is preferably Ra of 1 to 3 μm. When the thickness is less than 1 μm, it is difficult to uniformly reflect the light of the light emitting element 3 accommodated in the recess 4, and the intensity of the reflected light tends to be uneven. If it exceeds 3 μm, the light of the light emitting element 3 housed in the concave portion 4 is scattered, and it becomes difficult to uniformly radiate the reflected light with high reflectance to the outside.
[0028]
The cross section of the concave portion 4 can be various shapes such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, an elliptical shape, and a square shape, but a circular shape is preferable. In this case, the light of the light emitting element 3 accommodated in the concave portion 4 can be reflected uniformly above the package by the plating layer on the metal layer 7 on the inner peripheral surface of the concave portion 4 and can be emitted to the outside very uniformly.
[0029]
Notches 8a to 8d are formed at four corners of the insulating base 1 from the lower surface upward, and the notches 8a to 8d are electrically connected to the mounting portion 2 and the wiring layers 5a and 5b. Are formed respectively. In the present invention, the widths of the notches 8a and 8d and the widths of the notches 8b and 8c at the diagonal positions are the same, and the adjacent notches, that is, the notches relative to the notch 8a. The widths of the notches 8b and 8c are different from those of the notches 8b and 8c and the notch 8d.
[0030]
As a result, the volume of the insulating base 1 is not significantly reduced by the entire cutouts 8a to 8d formed at the four corners, so that the mechanical strength of the insulating base 1 is hardly reduced. In addition, since the two notches 8b and 8c of the four notches 8a to 8d are formed to be large, a good meniscus of brazing material is formed between the two notches 8b and 8c and the wiring conductor of the external electric circuit board. And can be firmly joined to the external electric circuit board.
[0031]
The four notches have the same width between the notch portions 8a and 8d and the notch portions 8b and 8c at diagonal positions, and the notch portions 8b and 8c adjacent to the notch portion 8a and The widths of the notches 8b and 8c adjacent to the notch 8d are different, but the widths of the notches 8a and 8d at diagonal positions and the widths of the notches 8b and 8c are the same. The amount of solder adhering to the side conductor 9a of the notch 8a at the diagonal position and the amount of solder attached to the side conductor 9b of the notch 8d become the same, and the amount of the solder attached to the side conductor 9b of the notch 8b at the diagonal position becomes the same. The amount of solder adhering to the side conductor 9a of the notch 8c becomes the same. As a result, the balance of the force applied at the time of joining the side conductors 9a and 9b and the wiring conductor of the external electric circuit board can be maintained as a whole, and the force is applied to a specific side of the package at the time of joining the external electric circuit board. Is not greatly added and no inclination or the like occurs. Therefore, the light of the light emitting element 3 can be emitted to the outside with good directivity.
[0032]
The side conductor layers 9a and 9b formed in the notches 8a to 8d are made of a metallized layer of a metal powder such as W or Mo, and are used for electrically connecting the light emitting element 3 housed in the recess 4 to the outside. Road. By connecting the side conductor layers 9a and 9b to the wiring conductors of the external electric circuit board, the side conductor layers 9a and 9b are electrically connected to the respective electrodes of the light emitting element 3 via the mounting portion 2 and the wiring layers 5a and 5b, and to the light emitting element 3. Power and drive signals are supplied.
[0033]
The side surface conductor layers 9a and 9b are formed by adding a suitable organic solvent and a solvent to a metal powder such as W or Mo and mixing the conductor paste obtained therefrom with the cutout portions 8a to 8d of the green sheet serving as the insulating base 1. Is printed and applied in a predetermined pattern by a screen printing method, thereby being attached to predetermined positions of the notches 8a to 8d.
[0034]
Further, a metal having excellent corrosion resistance, such as Ni, Au, or Ag, having a thickness of about 1 to 20 μm is preferably applied to the exposed surfaces of the side conductor layers 9a and 9b, and the side conductor layers 9a and 9b are oxidized. Corrosion can be effectively prevented, and the bonding between the side conductor layers 9a and 9b and the wiring conductor of the external electric circuit board can be strengthened. Therefore, on the exposed surfaces of the side conductor layers 9a and 9b, an Ni plating layer having a thickness of about 1 to 10 μm and an Au plating layer or an Ag plating layer having a thickness of about 0.1 to 3 μm are formed by an electroplating method or an electroless plating method. More preferably, they are sequentially applied by a plating method.
[0035]
The notches 8a to 8d are formed in the green sheet or a laminate thereof by forming through holes to be the notches 8a to 8d, and printing and applying a conductive paste on an inner peripheral surface thereof by a screen printing method or the like. When cut into dimensions, the through holes can also be formed by dividing.
[0036]
In addition, even when the package is very small, the package can be manufactured from a multi-piece substrate in which a plurality of packages are arranged vertically and horizontally in order to facilitate handling and efficiently manufacture many packages simultaneously. This case will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B, for example, in the case of manufacturing the package of FIG. The green sheets 11a and 11b for forming the ceramic layers 1a and 1b (FIGS. 2 and 3) are made of, for example, aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, or oxide when the insulating substrate 1 is made of an aluminum oxide sintered body (alumina ceramic). An appropriate organic binder, a solvent, a plasticizer, a dispersant, etc. are added to ceramic raw material powder such as calcium and magnesium oxide to form a slurry, which is then formed into a sheet having a predetermined thickness by a sheet forming technique such as a doctor blade method. It is produced by doing.
[0037]

After punching a through hole for leading out from the mounting portion 2 to the lower surface, a conductor paste for forming the wiring layers 5a, 5b and the mounting portion 2 is screen-printed in the through hole of the green sheet 11b or on the upper and lower surfaces thereof. Printing and applying in a predetermined pattern by the method.
[0038]
Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, after forming an elliptical through-hole 13a in the green sheet 11a by punching with a mold or the like, a conductor for forming the metal layer 7 on the inner surface of the through-hole 12 is formed. A paste and a conductor paste for forming the inner conductor layers 14a to be the side conductor layers 9a and 9b after division on the inner surfaces of the through holes 13a are printed and applied in predetermined patterns, respectively. Similarly, after forming an elliptical through-hole 13b in the green sheet 11b by punching with a mold or the like, the inner conductor layer 14b that becomes the side conductor layers 9a and 9b after division is formed on the inner surface of the through-hole 13b. Is printed and applied in a predetermined pattern.
[0039]
Next, as shown in FIG. 4C, by laminating the green sheets 11a and 11b, the through holes 13 and the inner conductor layer 14, which are formed by overlapping the through holes 13a and 13b and the inner conductor layers 14a and 14b, The green sheet laminate 11 on which the substrate 4 is formed is formed. In the green sheet laminate 11, a plurality of notch portions 8a to 8 are formed by dividing the plurality of through-holes 13 and the inner conductor layer 14 arranged in a matrix so as to individually divide the region serving as the insulating substrate 1. 8d and the dividing grooves 15 for forming the side conductor layers 9a and 9b are formed such that the notches 8a and 8d and the notches 8b and 8c at the diagonal positions have the same width and the adjacent notches. The portions, that is, the notches 8b and 8c for the notch 8a and the notches 8b and 8c for the notch 8c are formed to have different widths.

【The invention's effect】
In the package for housing a light-emitting element of the present invention, the notches formed at the four corners of the rectangular parallelepiped insulating base upward from the lower surface have the same width at the diagonal positions and are adjacent to each other. Since the widths of the notches are different from each other, the reduction of the volume of the insulating substrate due to the entire cutouts formed at the four corners does not increase so that the mechanical strength of the insulating substrate is maintained with almost no reduction. You. Further, since two of the four notches are formed to be large, a good meniscus of brazing material can be formed between the notch and the wiring conductor of the external electric circuit board, and the external electric circuit board is firmly formed. Can be joined.
[0055]
Also, the four notches have the same width at the diagonal positions and have different widths at adjacent ones, but the side conductors formed at the diagonal notches have the same width. The amount of solder to be attached is the same, and the balance of the force applied at the time of joining the side conductors of the four notches and the wiring conductors of the external electric circuit board can be maintained as a whole. The package can be joined, and a large force is not applied to one specific side surface of the package at the time of joining with the external electric circuit board, so that inclination or the like does not occur. As a result, light emitted by the light emitting element can be radiated to the outside with good directivity.
[0056]
The light-emitting device of the present invention includes the light-emitting element housing package of the present invention, a light-emitting element mounted on a mounting portion and having an electrode electrically connected to a wiring layer, and a transparent resin covering the light-emitting element.
