Description

本発明は、発光装置およびその製造方法に係り、特に半導体発光素子の発光出力を色変換層により波長変換する構造を有する発光装置および色変換層の形成方法に関するもので、例えば白色発光装置に使用されるものである。   The present invention relates to a light-emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a light-emitting device having a structure in which a light-emitting output of a semiconductor light-emitting element is wavelength-converted by a color conversion layer and a method for forming a color conversion layer. It is what is done.

半導体発光素子を用いた発光装置の一例として、発光ダイオード(LED)チップをパッケージの凹状のカップ部の内部に収容し、LEDチップの発光出力を波長変換するための蛍光物質を含む透光性部材をカップ部内に充填した構造を有するものがある。   As an example of a light-emitting device using a semiconductor light-emitting element, a light-emitting diode (LED) chip is accommodated inside a concave cup portion of a package, and a translucent member containing a fluorescent material for wavelength-converting the light emission output of the LED chip Some have a structure in which a cup portion is filled.

このような発光装置を製造する際、カップ部の底面部にLEDチップを実装した後、蛍光物質を含む透光性部材をカップ部内に充填し、蛍光物質をLEDチップ上およびカップ部底面上に沈降させている(例えば特許文献1中の図1参照)。あるいは、LEDチップ上に蛍光物質をスプレーコーティングにより堆積させる方法が特許文献2(図5)に開示されている。なお、特許文献1中の図1に示すように、LEDチップの周囲のカップ部底面におけるカップ内壁までの距離は、カップ部底面でLEDチップ固定部の周辺領域に形成されている配線パターンとLEDチップとの間を電気的に接続するための金属細線をボンディング接続するので、長く確保されている。   When manufacturing such a light-emitting device, after mounting the LED chip on the bottom surface of the cup portion, a translucent member containing a fluorescent material is filled in the cup portion, and the fluorescent material is placed on the LED chip and the bottom surface of the cup portion. It is allowed to settle (see, for example, FIG. 1 in Patent Document 1). Alternatively, Patent Document 2 (FIG. 5) discloses a method of depositing a fluorescent material on an LED chip by spray coating. As shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, the distance to the cup inner wall on the bottom surface of the cup portion around the LED chip is the same as the wiring pattern and the LED formed in the peripheral region of the LED chip fixing portion on the bottom surface of the cup portion. Since a thin metal wire for electrical connection with the chip is connected by bonding, it is ensured for a long time.

このような発光装置において、青色LEDチップの発光出力がLEDチップ上およびカップ部底面上の蛍光物質(例えばYAG)によって黄色光に変換され、青色光と黄色光との混色である白色光が出力する。ここで、LEDチップの発光出力の光変換量は、LEDチップの一端部からカップ内壁までの間におけるカップ部底面上の距離に依存する。   In such a light emitting device, the light emission output of the blue LED chip is converted into yellow light by the fluorescent material (for example, YAG) on the LED chip and the bottom of the cup portion, and white light that is a mixture of blue light and yellow light is output. To do. Here, the light conversion amount of the light emission output of the LED chip depends on the distance on the bottom surface of the cup part between the one end part of the LED chip and the inner wall of the cup.

しかし、前記したようにLEDチップの周囲のカップ部底面におけるカップ部内壁までの距離が長いと、光の取り出し効率が低下するという問題がある。すなわち、発光素子の発光出力は、色変換層に追随するように進行し、一部はカップ部底面で反射・吸収されるので、光の取り出し効率が低下する。   However, as described above, when the distance to the inner wall of the cup portion on the bottom surface of the cup portion around the LED chip is long, there is a problem that the light extraction efficiency is lowered. That is, the light emission output of the light emitting element proceeds so as to follow the color conversion layer, and part of the light output is reflected and absorbed by the bottom surface of the cup portion, so that the light extraction efficiency decreases.

また、LEDチップの周囲のカップ部底面におけるカップ部内壁までの距離が長いと、LEDチップの実装に際して実装ずれが生じた場合に配光色度での色むらに及ぼす影響が大きいという問題がある。すなわち、LEDチップの実装位置にずれが生じた場合にLEDチップの周囲における蛍光物質存在領域のアンバランス量が大きくなり、LEDチップの周囲でLEDチップの発光出力の光変換量が大きく異なり、配光色度での色むらに及ぼす影響が大きくなる。   In addition, if the distance to the inner wall of the cup portion on the bottom surface of the cup portion around the LED chip is long, there is a problem that the effect on the color unevenness in the light distribution chromaticity is large when mounting deviation occurs during mounting of the LED chip. . That is, when a deviation occurs in the mounting position of the LED chip, the amount of unbalance of the fluorescent substance existing area around the LED chip increases, and the light conversion amount of the light emission output of the LED chip greatly differs around the LED chip. The effect on the color unevenness at the light chromaticity is increased.

また、LEDチップの周囲のカップ部底面におけるカップ部内壁までの距離が長い程、つまり、LEDチップの一端部からカップ内壁までの間におけるカップ底面上のYAG量が多い程、LEDチップの青色発光出力光が黄色味に変換され、YAG量が少ない他の部分(例えば、LEDチップの上面など)から出る光との色むらが生じることになる。   Also, the longer the distance from the bottom of the cup around the LED chip to the inner wall of the cup, that is, the greater the amount of YAG on the bottom of the cup from one end of the LED chip to the inner wall of the cup, the more blue the LED chip emits light. The output light is converted to yellow, and color unevenness with light emitted from other parts (for example, the upper surface of the LED chip) with a small amount of YAG occurs.

一方、発光装置を単に回路基板等に高密度に実装すると、LEDチップの発光時の発熱により発光装置の各部材の特性が劣化したり故障したりする。そこで、より放熱性に優れ、かつ、高密度実装に適した発光装置が望まれている。

On the other hand, if the light-emitting device is simply mounted on a circuit board or the like at high density, the characteristics of each member of the light-emitting device deteriorate or fail due to heat generated when the LED chip emits light. Therefore, a light emitting device that is more excellent in heat dissipation and suitable for high density mounting is desired.
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2006-245020 (FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2003-318448 (FIG. 5)

本発明は前記した従来の問題点を解決し、光の取り出し効率が向上し、発光素子の実装位置に多少のずれが生じても配光色度での色むらに及ぼす影響が少なく、かつ、優れた放熱性を持たせることが可能な発光装置およびその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, improves the light extraction efficiency, has little effect on color unevenness in the light distribution chromaticity even if a slight deviation occurs in the mounting position of the light emitting element, and An object of the present invention is to provide a light emitting device capable of providing excellent heat dissipation and a method for manufacturing the same.

本発明の発光装置は、パッケージの中央領域に周辺領域よりも上方へ突出して設けられた発光素子載置用の台座と、前記台座の上面に固着された発光素子と、前記パッケージの周辺領域に形成され、前記発光素子の電極と電気的に接続された導電性部材と、前記発光素子を覆う色変換層と、少なくとも前記発光素子および前記色変換層を封止するように前記パッケージに形成された透光性部材と、を具備し、突出した前記台座の側面は、前記色変換層から露出していることを特徴とする。   The light-emitting device of the present invention includes a pedestal for mounting a light-emitting element provided in a central region of the package so as to protrude upward from the peripheral region, a light-emitting element fixed to the upper surface of the pedestal, and a peripheral region of the package. A conductive member formed and electrically connected to the electrode of the light emitting element, a color conversion layer covering the light emitting element, and formed in the package so as to seal at least the light emitting element and the color conversion layer. And the protruding side surface of the pedestal is exposed from the color conversion layer.

上記発光装置において、色変換層は、台座の上面で発光素子上およびその外周部に略均一に堆積していることことが望ましい。色変換層は、予め透光性部材に含まれていた蛍光物質の一部が沈降して堆積した蛍光物質を含むものであってもよく、台座上に局部的に形成されたものであってもよい。   In the above light-emitting device, it is desirable that the color conversion layer is deposited substantially uniformly on the light-emitting element and on the outer periphery thereof on the upper surface of the pedestal. The color conversion layer may include a fluorescent material in which a part of the fluorescent material previously contained in the translucent member is deposited and deposited locally on the pedestal. Also good.

また、色変換層は、波長変換用の蛍光部材および光拡散用の拡散部材が混合されたものであってもよい。この場合、蛍光部材および拡散部材がほぼ均等に混合されていることが望ましい。また、色変換層は、拡散材の層と蛍光部材の層とが重なっているものであってもよい。この場合、拡散部材の層、蛍光部材の層の順に重なっていることが望ましい。   The color conversion layer may be a mixture of a wavelength converting fluorescent member and a light diffusing member. In this case, it is desirable that the fluorescent member and the diffusing member are mixed almost uniformly. Further, the color conversion layer may be a layer in which the diffusion material layer and the fluorescent member layer overlap. In this case, it is desirable that the diffusion member layer and the fluorescent member layer overlap in this order.

台座の上面に発光素子を固着するためにダイボンド部材が用いられている場合、このダイボンド部材は、台座上から発光素子の側面にかけて、発光素子の発光層が露出する位置より低い部分を覆っていることが好ましい。これにより、ダイボンド部材が発光素子側面を覆っている部分の上部に色変換層が堆積されると、色変換層は、発光素子の発光層の側面にも配置されるようになる。   When a die bond member is used to fix the light emitting element to the upper surface of the pedestal, the die bond member covers a portion lower than the position where the light emitting layer of the light emitting element is exposed from the pedestal to the side surface of the light emitting element. It is preferable. Accordingly, when the color conversion layer is deposited on the portion where the die bonding member covers the side surface of the light emitting element, the color conversion layer is also disposed on the side surface of the light emitting layer of the light emitting element.

台座の上面の中央部は、その外周部よりも凹没し、凹没した中央部に発光素子が載置されており、色変換層は発光素子の上面部よりも側面部の方が分厚く堆積されていてもよい。ここで、凹没は、発光素子の発光層が台座の上面の最高位置より上方に突出する深さを有することが望ましい。   The central part of the upper surface of the pedestal is recessed more than the outer peripheral part, and the light emitting element is placed in the recessed central part, and the color conversion layer is deposited thicker on the side part than the upper surface part of the light emitting element. May be. Here, it is desirable that the depression has a depth such that the light emitting layer of the light emitting element protrudes upward from the highest position of the upper surface of the pedestal.

透光性部材は、台座の上面で発光素子を覆う蛍光物質を含む第1の透光性部材と、第1の透光性部材を覆うように設けられた第2の透光性部材と、を有するものであってもよい。   The translucent member includes a first translucent member containing a fluorescent material that covers the light emitting element on the upper surface of the pedestal, a second translucent member provided to cover the first translucent member, It may have.

パッケージは、略中央領域に貫通孔を有する絶縁性基板と、絶縁性基板の貫通孔に挿入され、上面が絶縁性基板の上面より突出した金属部材とを具備し、金属部材が台座となるものであってもよい。   The package includes an insulating substrate having a through hole in a substantially central region, and a metal member inserted into the through hole of the insulating substrate and having an upper surface protruding from the upper surface of the insulating substrate, and the metal member serves as a pedestal. It may be.

本発明の発光装置の製造方法は、パッケージの中央領域に周辺領域よりも上方へ突出して設けられた発光素子載置用の台座と、前記台座の上面に固着された発光素子と、前記パッケージの周辺領域に形成され、前記発光素子の電極と電気的に接続された導電性部材と、前記発光素子を覆う色変換層と、前記発光素子および前記色変換層を少なくとも封止するように前記パッケージに形成された透光性部材と、を具備したことを特徴とする発光装置を製造する際、前記透光性部材に予め含ませた色変換物質を沈降させて前記台座上に堆積させるとともに前記台座の側面で色変換物質を途切れさせることによって、前記台座の側面を色変換層から露出させることを特徴とする。   A method of manufacturing a light emitting device according to the present invention includes a pedestal for mounting a light emitting element provided in a central region of the package so as to protrude above a peripheral region, a light emitting element fixed to the upper surface of the pedestal, A conductive member formed in a peripheral region and electrically connected to an electrode of the light emitting element, a color conversion layer covering the light emitting element, and the package so as to at least seal the light emitting element and the color conversion layer When manufacturing a light-emitting device comprising a light-transmitting member formed on the light-transmitting member, the color conversion material previously contained in the light-transmitting member is allowed to settle and be deposited on the pedestal. The side surface of the pedestal is exposed from the color conversion layer by interrupting the color conversion material on the side surface of the pedestal.

本発明の発光装置によれば、発光素子の発光出力は色変換層に追随するように進行するが、台座上の色分離層は台座上の外周部と周辺領域との間で分離しているので、周辺領域で反射・吸収される光をなくすることができ、光の取り出し効率が向上する。   According to the light emitting device of the present invention, the light emission output of the light emitting element proceeds so as to follow the color conversion layer, but the color separation layer on the pedestal is separated between the outer peripheral portion on the pedestal and the peripheral region. As a result, light reflected and absorbed in the peripheral region can be eliminated, and the light extraction efficiency is improved.

また、発光素子の発光出力に対する色変換層による光変換量は、台座上に存在する色変換層の量に依存する。この場合、発光素子の実装に際して実装位置に多少のずれが生じても、発光素子の周囲の色変換層の量のアンバランスが少なく、配光色度での色むらに及ぼす影響が少なくて済むので、高品質の発光装置を実現することができる。発光素子が青色発光素子であり、蛍光物質がYAGである場合には、白色発光装置を実現することができる。   Further, the amount of light conversion by the color conversion layer for the light emission output of the light emitting element depends on the amount of the color conversion layer present on the pedestal. In this case, even if a slight shift occurs in the mounting position when mounting the light emitting element, the amount of the color conversion layer around the light emitting element is less unbalanced, and the influence on the color unevenness in the light distribution chromaticity can be reduced. Therefore, a high quality light emitting device can be realized. When the light emitting element is a blue light emitting element and the fluorescent material is YAG, a white light emitting device can be realized.

発光素子を覆う色変換層が、台座上で発光素子上およびその周辺部上に略均一に堆積していると、ブルーミング等の色むらを改善することができる。色変換層は、予め透光性部材に含まれていた蛍光物質の一部が沈降して堆積した蛍光物質を含むものであってもよく、台座上に局部的に形成された蛍光物質を含むものであってもよい。後者の場合、例えばスプレーコーティングを用いて、発光素子を覆う蛍光物質が一粒子層からなるように形成すれば、光の取り出し効率が向上する。   When the color conversion layer covering the light emitting element is deposited substantially uniformly on the light emitting element and its peripheral portion on the pedestal, color unevenness such as blooming can be improved. The color conversion layer may include a fluorescent material in which a part of the fluorescent material previously contained in the translucent member is deposited and includes a fluorescent material locally formed on the pedestal. It may be a thing. In the latter case, for example, by using spray coating so that the fluorescent material covering the light emitting element is formed of a single particle layer, the light extraction efficiency is improved.

発光素子を覆う色変換層が、波長変換用の蛍光部材および光拡散用の拡散部材がほぼ均等に混合されている場合には、発光素子の発光出力が拡散部材によりほぼ均等に拡散し、発光出力の視野角をさらに増やすことが可能になる。この場合、蛍光部材および拡散部材としてそれぞれの粒径と比重がほぼ等しいものを用いると、蛍光部材および拡散部材を予め透光性部材に含ませておくことにより、透光性部材中の蛍光部材および拡散部材をほぼ同時に沈降させて堆積させることによって形成することが可能になる。   When the color conversion layer covering the light-emitting element has a fluorescent member for wavelength conversion and a diffusion member for light diffusion mixed almost evenly, the light emission output of the light-emitting element is diffused almost evenly by the diffusion member, and light emission The output viewing angle can be further increased. In this case, when the fluorescent member and the diffusing member having the same particle size and specific gravity are used, the fluorescent member and the diffusing member are included in the translucent member in advance, so that the fluorescent member in the translucent member is obtained. And it becomes possible to form by diffusing and depositing the diffusion member almost simultaneously.

発光素子を載置する台座は、上面が平坦であってもよいが、上面の中央部が周辺部よりも凹没した中央部上に発光素子を載置し、蛍光物質を発光素子の上面部よりも側面部の方が分厚くなるように堆積してもよい。この場合、台座の上面の中央部の凹没は、発光素子の発光層が台座の上面の最高位置より上方に突出する深さ(例えば発光素子の厚さの約半分)を有すると、フェイスアップ実装された発光素子の発光層が凹没部より上方になるので、配光範囲が広がる。   The pedestal on which the light emitting element is placed may have a flat upper surface, but the light emitting element is placed on the central part where the central part of the upper surface is recessed relative to the peripheral part, and the fluorescent material is placed on the upper part of the light emitting element. Alternatively, the side portions may be deposited so as to be thicker. In this case, the depression at the center of the upper surface of the pedestal is face-up when the light emitting layer of the light emitting element has a depth that protrudes upward from the highest position of the upper surface of the pedestal (for example, about half the thickness of the light emitting element). Since the light emitting layer of the mounted light emitting element is located above the recessed portion, the light distribution range is widened.

さらに、台座上に発光素子を固着するためにダイボンド部材が用いられ、このダイボンド部材が、台座上から発光素子の側面にかけて、発光素子の発光層が露出するように覆い、その上部に色変換層が堆積されていると、色むらが少なく、均一な出力光が得られるようになる。   Further, a die bond member is used to fix the light emitting element on the pedestal. The die bond member covers the light emitting layer of the light emitting element from the pedestal to the side surface of the light emitting element, and a color conversion layer is formed on the upper part. Is deposited, there is little color unevenness and uniform output light can be obtained.

台座に金属部材を用いることにより、外部へ効率よく熱引きすることが可能で、放熱性に優れ、信頼性が高い発光装置を容易に実現することができる。   By using a metal member for the pedestal, it is possible to efficiently heat the outside, and it is possible to easily realize a light emitting device with excellent heat dissipation and high reliability.

本発明の発光装置の製造方法によれば、本発明の発光装置を製造する際、透光性部材に予め含ませた色変換物質を沈降させて台座上に堆積させるとともに台座の側面で色変換物質を途切れさせ、台座の側面を色変換層から露出させることが可能になる。これにより、台座の周辺領域で反射・吸収される光をなくすることができ、光の取り出し効率が向上する。また、発光素子の実装に際して実装位置に多少のずれが生じても、発光素子の周囲の色変換層の量のアンバランスが少なく、配光色度での色むらに及ぼす影響が少なくて済むので、高品質の発光装置を実現することができる。   According to the method for manufacturing a light emitting device of the present invention, when the light emitting device of the present invention is manufactured, the color conversion material previously contained in the translucent member is allowed to settle and deposited on the pedestal, and color conversion is performed on the side surface of the pedestal. It becomes possible to interrupt the substance and expose the side surface of the pedestal from the color conversion layer. Thereby, the light reflected and absorbed in the peripheral region of the pedestal can be eliminated, and the light extraction efficiency is improved. In addition, even if a slight shift occurs in the mounting position when mounting the light emitting element, the amount of the color conversion layer around the light emitting element is less unbalanced, and the influence on the color unevenness in the light distribution chromaticity can be reduced. A high-quality light-emitting device can be realized.

A color conversion layer 90 is formed so as to cover the light emitting element 10 on the pedestal 30. Conductive members 61 and 62 are formed on the peripheral region of the bottom surface of the cup portion, and the conductive members 61 and 62 are electrically connected to the electrodes of the light emitting element 10. In this example, the electrode of the light emitting element 10 and the conductive members 61 and 62 are connected by a thin metal wire (bonding wire) 70. The inside of the cup part is filled with a translucent member 50 so as to seal the light emitting element 10 on the pedestal, at least a part of the thin metal wire 70, and the bottom of the cup part.

発光素子10は例えば青色LEDのチップ(ダイス)が用いられており、色変換層90は例えば蛍光物質であるYAG90a が用いられている。YAG90a は、本例では、カップ部内部への透光性部材50の充填前に予め透光性部材に含まれていたYAGの一部が透光性部材の充填後に沈降して堆積したものである。ここで、YAG90a は、台座30 上の外周部とカップ部底面の周辺領域との間で途切れている。つまり、台座は、その上面の外周部とパッケージの周辺領域との間にYAG90a (色変換層)から露出した部分を有している。また、YAG90a は、台座30上では青色LEDチップ10上およびその周辺部上に略均一に堆積している。   For example, a blue LED chip (die) is used as the light emitting element 10, and YAG90a, which is a fluorescent material, is used as the color conversion layer 90, for example. In this example, YAG90a is a part of YAG previously contained in the translucent member before the translucent member 50 is filled into the cup portion, and is deposited after the translucent member is deposited. is there. Here, YAG90a is interrupted between the outer peripheral part on the base 30 and the peripheral region of the cup part bottom face. That is, the pedestal has a portion exposed from the YAG 90a (color conversion layer) between the outer peripheral portion of the upper surface and the peripheral region of the package. YAG90a is deposited substantially uniformly on the pedestal 30 on the blue LED chip 10 and on the periphery thereof.

パッケージ20は、本例では、台座30用の金属部材(ヒートシンク、以下、台座と同じ符号30を付す。)と、平面が略矩形形状を有し、略中央領域に金属部材貫通用の貫通孔を有する絶縁性基板40とを具備する。そして、金属部材30の上面が絶縁性基板40の上面より突出して前記台座部となるように、貫通孔に金属部材30が挿入され、金属部材30と絶縁性基板40の貫通孔の内壁とは接着部材80を用いて接合されている。貫通孔内面と金属部材側面との間隙にも、YAG90a が沈降して堆積している。   In this example, the package 20 has a metal member for the pedestal 30 (a heat sink, hereinafter denoted by the same reference numeral 30 as the pedestal), and a plane having a substantially rectangular shape, and a through hole for penetrating the metal member in a substantially central region. And an insulating substrate 40. Then, the metal member 30 is inserted into the through hole so that the upper surface of the metal member 30 protrudes from the upper surface of the insulating substrate 40 to become the pedestal portion, and the metal member 30 and the inner wall of the through hole of the insulating substrate 40 are Bonding is performed using an adhesive member 80. YAG90a is also deposited in the gap between the inner surface of the through hole and the side surface of the metal member.

絶縁性基板40は、本例では、一対の対向する側面に上下方向に貫通する溝部42を有し、表面には導電性部材61,62 がパターン形成されており、絶縁性基板40の下面側において導電性部材61,62 の下面は金属部材30の下面と略水平である。   In this example, the insulating substrate 40 has a groove portion 42 penetrating in a vertical direction on a pair of opposing side surfaces, and conductive members 61 and 62 are patterned on the surface, and the lower surface side of the insulating substrate 40 The lower surfaces of the conductive members 61 and 62 are substantially horizontal with the lower surface of the metal member 30.

上記第1の実施形態に係る発光装置においては、青色LEDチップ10の発光出力が台座30 上のYAG90a によって黄色光に変換され、青色光と黄色光との混色である白色光が出力する。ここで、青色LEDチップ10の発光出力に対するYAG90a による光変換量は、LEDチップ1 0 の周囲におけるLEDチップ10の一端部から台座30 上の外周部までの短距離の区間に存在するYAG量に依存する。   In the light emitting device according to the first embodiment, the light emission output of the blue LED chip 10 is converted into yellow light by the YAG 90a on the pedestal 30, and white light that is a mixed color of blue light and yellow light is output. Here, the light conversion amount by the YAG 90a with respect to the light emission output of the blue LED chip 10 is the YAG amount existing in a short distance section from one end of the LED chip 10 to the outer peripheral part on the base 30 around the LED chip 10. Dependent.

この場合、YAG90a は、台座30 上とカップ部底面の周辺領域上とが分離しているので、カップ部底面の周辺領域で反射・吸収される光をなくすることができ、光の取り出し効率が向上する。   In this case, since the YAG 90a is separated from the pedestal 30 and the peripheral region on the bottom surface of the cup portion, the light reflected and absorbed in the peripheral region on the bottom surface of the cup portion can be eliminated, and the light extraction efficiency is improved. improves.

また、LEDチップ10の実装に際して実装位置に多少のずれが生じても、LEDチップ10の周囲の区間のYAG量のアンバランスが少なく、LEDチップ10の周辺でYAG90による光変換量のアンバランスが少なくなるため、配光色度での色むらに及ぼす影響が少なくて済み、高品質の発光装置を実現することができる。   Further, even when the mounting position of the LED chip 10 is slightly shifted, there is little unbalance in the YAG amount in the section around the LED chip 10, and there is an unbalance in the light conversion amount by the YAG 90 around the LED chip 10. Therefore, the influence on the color unevenness in the light distribution chromaticity can be reduced, and a high-quality light-emitting device can be realized.

また、LEDチップ10の一端部から台座30 上の外周部までの間におけるYAG量が少ないので、LEDチップ10の青色発光出力光が黄色味に変換されるおそれがなくなり、均一な混色光(白色光)を得ることができる。   Further, since the amount of YAG between the one end portion of the LED chip 10 and the outer peripheral portion on the pedestal 30 is small, there is no possibility that the blue light emission output light of the LED chip 10 is converted to yellow, and uniform color mixture light (white color) Light).

しかも、台座30 に金属部材30を用いることにより、外部へ効率よく熱引きすることが可能で、放熱性に優れ、信頼性および光取り出し効率が優れた高品質の発光装置を容易に実現することができる。   Moreover, by using the metal member 30 for the pedestal 30, it is possible to efficiently heat the outside, to easily realize a high-quality light-emitting device with excellent heat dissipation, reliability and light extraction efficiency. Can do.

また、上記第1の実施形態に係る発光装置を製造する際、透光性部材50に予め含ませたYAG90a を沈降させて台座上に堆積させるとともに台座30の側面でYAG90a を途切れさせ、台座30の側面をYAG(色変換層)90a から露出させることが可能になる。これにより、台座30の周辺領域で反射・吸収される光をなくすることができ、光の取り出し効率が向上する。また、LEDチップ10の実装に際して実装位置に多少のずれが生じても、LEDチップ10の周囲の色変換層の量のアンバランスが少なく、配光色度での色むらに及ぼす影響が少なくて済むので、高品質の発光装置を実現することができる。   Further, when manufacturing the light emitting device according to the first embodiment, the YAG 90a previously contained in the translucent member 50 is allowed to settle and deposited on the pedestal, and the YAG 90a is cut off on the side surface of the pedestal 30 so that the pedestal 30 Can be exposed from the YAG (color conversion layer) 90a. Thereby, the light reflected and absorbed in the peripheral region of the pedestal 30 can be eliminated, and the light extraction efficiency is improved. In addition, even if a slight shift occurs in the mounting position when mounting the LED chip 10, there is little unbalance in the amount of the color conversion layer around the LED chip 10 and there is little effect on the color unevenness in the light distribution chromaticity. Therefore, a high-quality light-emitting device can be realized.

以下、本実施形態の各構成について詳述する。   Hereafter, each structure of this embodiment is explained in full detail.

(絶縁性基板40) 絶縁性基板40は、平面が略正方形である薄型直方体であり、厚さ方向においてほぼ中央に貫通孔が形成されており、貫通孔の平面は略正方形で角部に丸みを帯びた形状をしており、貫通孔の縦断面は略凸形状をしている。ただし、貫通孔の平面は、円形状、楕円形状、多角形状でも用いることができ、特に、台座30の平面(上面)の形状と略同一の形状である方が好ましい。また、絶縁性基板40の対向する―対の側面には、平面形状が略矩形で内側角部に丸みを帯びた溝部42が形成されている。   (Insulating substrate 40) The insulating substrate 40 is a thin rectangular parallelepiped whose plane is substantially square, and a through hole is formed in the center in the thickness direction. The plane of the through hole is substantially square and rounded at the corners. The vertical cross section of the through hole has a substantially convex shape. However, the plane of the through hole can be circular, elliptical, or polygonal, and in particular, it is preferable that the shape is substantially the same as the plane (upper surface) of the pedestal 30. Further, on the opposite side surfaces of the insulating substrate 40, a groove portion 42 having a substantially rectangular planar shape and rounded inner corners is formed.

絶縁性基板40の貫通孔には、貫通孔を塞ぐように金属部材30が挿入されており、金属部材30の上面には発光素子10が載置されている。また、絶縁性基板40の上面には、貫通孔を囲むように複数の導電性部材61,62 が形成されており、導電性部材61,62 は、絶縁性基板40の溝部42および下面に連続的に形成されている。ここで、絶縁性基板40、貫通孔および溝部42の形状や個数は、目的に合わせて種々選択することができる。   A metal member 30 is inserted into the through hole of the insulating substrate 40 so as to close the through hole, and the light emitting element 10 is placed on the upper surface of the metal member 30. In addition, a plurality of conductive members 61 and 62 are formed on the upper surface of the insulating substrate 40 so as to surround the through holes. The conductive members 61 and 62 are continuous with the groove portion 42 and the lower surface of the insulating substrate 40. Is formed. Here, the shape and number of the insulating substrate 40, the through hole, and the groove 42 can be variously selected according to the purpose.

絶縁性基板40の材料として、樹脂基板や、有機物に無機物が含有されてなるガラスエポキシ基板などのハイブリッド基板、セラミック基板などの無機物基板などを用いることができる。特に、高耐熱性、高耐候性が望まれる場合、ハイブリッド基板や無機物基板を用いることが好ましい。   As a material for the insulating substrate 40, a resin substrate, a hybrid substrate such as a glass epoxy substrate in which an inorganic substance is contained in an organic substance, an inorganic substrate such as a ceramic substrate, or the like can be used. In particular, when high heat resistance and high weather resistance are desired, it is preferable to use a hybrid substrate or an inorganic substrate.

本実施形態の発光装置は、絶縁性基板に他の部材を複数組み立て加工し、発光装置の集合体を形成した後で個々に分割することにより、複数の発光装置を低コストで得ることができる。また、高いコントラストが要求される発光装置を形成する場合は、絶縁性基板の母材自体にCr2 3 、MnO2 、TiO2 、Fe2 3 などを含有させることにより、暗色系の絶縁性基板とすることが好ましい。 In the light-emitting device of this embodiment, a plurality of light-emitting devices can be obtained at low cost by assembling and processing a plurality of other members on an insulating substrate, and forming the light-emitting device aggregates and then dividing them individually. . When a light emitting device requiring high contrast is formed, dark-colored insulation can be obtained by including Cr 2 O 3 , MnO 2 , TiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3, etc. in the base material itself of the insulating substrate. It is preferable to use a conductive substrate.

セラミック基板の主材料は、アルミナ、窒化アルミニウム、ムライトなどが好ましい。これらの主材料に焼結助剤などが加え、焼結することでセラミック基板が得られる。例えば、原料粉末の90〜96重量%がアルミナであり、焼結助剤として、粘度、タルク、マグネ、シア,カルシア及びシリカ等が4 〜10重量%添加され、1500℃から1700℃の温度範囲で焼結させたセラミックスや、原料粉末の40〜60重量%がアルミナで、焼結助剤として60〜40重量%の硼珪酸ガラス、コ―ジュライト、フォルステライト、ムライトなどが添加され、800 ℃〜l200℃での温度範囲で焼結させたセラミックス等が挙げられる。   The main material of the ceramic substrate is preferably alumina, aluminum nitride, mullite or the like. A ceramic substrate is obtained by adding a sintering aid to these main materials and sintering. For example, 90 to 96% by weight of the raw material powder is alumina, and 4 to 10% by weight of viscosity, talc, magne, shea, calcia, silica, etc. are added as a sintering aid, and a temperature range of 1500 ° C. to 1700 ° C. 40-60% by weight of the ceramics sintered in the material and alumina, and 60-40% by weight of borosilicate glass, cordierite, forsterite, mullite, etc. are added as a sintering aid at 800 ° C. Examples thereof include ceramics sintered in a temperature range of ˜l200 ° C.

このようなセラミック基板は、焼成前のグリーンシート段階で種々の形状をとることができる。まず、焼成前の母材であるグリーンシートに所望とする貫通孔や溝部42が得られるように加工を施し、場合によっては多層に張り合わせる。次に、スクリーン印刷などの方法により所望とする場所にタングステンやモリブデンなど高融点金属を樹脂バインダ―に含有させたペースト状の材料を用いて、導電性部材60を所望とする場所にパターン形成する。このように加工された母材を焼結することにより、貫通孔、溝部42および導電性部材61,62 が形成された絶縁性基板とすることができる。   Such a ceramic substrate can take various shapes at the green sheet stage before firing. First, the green sheet, which is a base material before firing, is processed so that desired through holes and groove portions 42 are obtained, and in some cases, the green sheets are laminated in multiple layers. Next, the conductive member 60 is patterned in a desired place by using a paste-like material in which a refractory metal such as tungsten or molybdenum is contained in a resin binder in a desired place by a method such as screen printing. . By sintering the base material processed in this way, it is possible to obtain an insulating substrate in which the through hole, the groove 42 and the conductive members 61 and 62 are formed.

絶縁性基板40に形成されている貫通孔は、内面が階段状であるが、発光正面側から見て孔の大きさが異なる絶縁性基板を積層接合することで形成することができる。貫通孔の中間平面41で金属部材30と位置決めされ、接合されている。ここで、積層接合される絶縁性基板のうち、上方の絶縁性基板の貫通孔は上方に開口幅が大きくなるように形成し、下方の絶縁性基板の貫通孔は下方に開口幅が大きくなるように形成すると、金属部材30との位置決めや接合面となる中間平面41を保持しつつ、絶縁性基板40の上面および下面に形成される導電性部材61,62 と金属部材30の側面との距離を大きくすることができるので、さらに小型な発光装置を歩留まり良く得ることができる。―定の方向に開口幅が大きくなる貫通孔は、同様の形状に―定の方向に体積幅が大きくなった形状の刃を有する切削具を使用して切削加工により形成することができる。あるいは、通常の貫通孔を形成する際に使用する切削具の絶縁性基板表面に対する当接角度を変化させることにより形成することが可能である。さらには、それぞれに貫通孔が形成された複数の絶縁性基板を積層して階段状の内壁面を形成し、該階段状の内壁面に成型金型を押し当て平滑面とすることにより、ある―定の方向に内径が大きくなる貫通孔を有する絶縁性基板も可能である。   The through hole formed in the insulating substrate 40 has a stepped inner surface, but can be formed by laminating and bonding insulating substrates having different hole sizes when viewed from the light emitting front side. The metal member 30 is positioned and joined to the intermediate plane 41 of the through hole. Here, among the insulating substrates to be laminated and bonded, the through hole of the upper insulating substrate is formed so that the opening width is increased upward, and the through hole of the lower insulating substrate is increased downward. When formed in this manner, the conductive member 61, 62 formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the insulating substrate 40 and the side surface of the metal member 30 are held while the intermediate plane 41 serving as a positioning and bonding surface with the metal member 30 is held. Since the distance can be increased, a smaller light-emitting device can be obtained with high yield. -A through-hole whose opening width increases in a fixed direction can be formed by cutting using a cutting tool having a similar shape-a blade having a shape whose volume width increases in a fixed direction. Or it is possible to form by changing the contact angle with respect to the insulating substrate surface of the cutting tool used when forming a normal through-hole. Furthermore, a plurality of insulating substrates each having a through hole are laminated to form a stepped inner wall surface, and a molding die is pressed against the stepped inner wall surface to form a smooth surface. -An insulating substrate having a through-hole whose inner diameter increases in a fixed direction is also possible.

溝部42は、絶縁性基板40の上面から下面まで貫通し、平面形状が略矩形で内側角部に丸みを帯びた溝部42が2つずつ形成されている。各溝部42の内壁には、絶縁性基板40の上面に形成された導電性部材61,62 が延在形成されている。このように構成された発光装置は、溝部42の内壁にて外部と導通を取ることができ、発光装置の実装性を高めることができる。   The groove portion 42 penetrates from the upper surface to the lower surface of the insulating substrate 40, and is formed with two groove portions 42 each having a substantially rectangular planar shape and rounded inner corners. Conductive members 61 and 62 formed on the upper surface of the insulating substrate 40 are extended on the inner wall of each groove 42. The light emitting device configured as described above can be electrically connected to the outside through the inner wall of the groove portion 42, and the mountability of the light emitting device can be improved.

(金属部材30) 金属部材30は、絶縁性基板40に設けられた貫通孔に挿入固定されており、上面には発光素子10が載置されている。金属部材30の上面は、絶縁性基板40の上面より突出しており、0.05mm以上の高低差を有するほうが好ましく、さらに好ましくは0.1mm以上である。また、発光素子10が載置される上面側において、金属部材30と絶縁性基板40との間に凹部(離間部)を有するほうが好ましい。これにより、金属部材30の上面に配置された色変換層90を絶縁性基板40の上面から分離することができる。また、絶縁性基板40の下面側において、金属部材30の下面が絶縁性基板40の下面に形成された導電性部材60,61 の下面と略水平であると、発光装置に蓄積された熱を発光装置の表面にて空気中に放熱するのではなく、発光装置を実装する配線板に効率よく熱を引き放つことにより、発光装置の温度上昇を抑制することが可能となる。また、絶縁性基板40は、その下面側において、金属部材30との間に第2の凹部(離間部)を有するほうが好ましい。これにより、発光装置をハンダ付け実装する際に、ハンダ(図示しない)を凹部へ逃がすことができるため、導電性部材61,62 間でショートすることを防止することができる。   (Metal member 30) The metal member 30 is inserted and fixed in a through hole provided in the insulating substrate 40, and the light emitting element 10 is placed on the upper surface. The upper surface of the metal member 30 protrudes from the upper surface of the insulating substrate 40, and preferably has a height difference of 0.05 mm or more, more preferably 0.1 mm or more. Further, it is preferable to have a recess (spacer) between the metal member 30 and the insulating substrate 40 on the upper surface side on which the light emitting element 10 is placed. Accordingly, the color conversion layer 90 disposed on the upper surface of the metal member 30 can be separated from the upper surface of the insulating substrate 40. In addition, on the lower surface side of the insulating substrate 40, if the lower surface of the metal member 30 is substantially horizontal with the lower surfaces of the conductive members 60 and 61 formed on the lower surface of the insulating substrate 40, the heat accumulated in the light emitting device is reduced. Rather than dissipating heat into the air on the surface of the light emitting device, it is possible to efficiently release heat to the wiring board on which the light emitting device is mounted, thereby suppressing an increase in temperature of the light emitting device. Further, it is preferable that the insulating substrate 40 has a second concave portion (a separation portion) between the insulating substrate 40 and the metal member 30 on the lower surface side. Accordingly, when the light emitting device is soldered and mounted, the solder (not shown) can be released to the concave portion, so that it is possible to prevent a short circuit between the conductive members 61 and 62.

金属部材30は、絶縁性基板40の貫通孔と部分的に接合されていることが好ましく、これにより各部材が熱ストレスにより―体性を損なうことを抑制することができる。金属部材30の形状は、載置される発光素子10の消費電力等に応じて十分な熱引き効果が得られる厚みおよび大きさを有していれば特に限定されないが、上面より下面の面積が大きい金属部材30が好ましく、これにより上面側で発光素子10から伝達された熱を効率よく下面へ伝導することができる。特に、金属部材30の形状を上面に対して垂直に切断した際の断面形状が略凸形状とした場合、貫通孔の内壁の形状も略凸形状とし、金属部材30の第2の上面と貫通孔内の平面とで接合を行うことが好ましく、これにより精度良く信頼性の高い発光装置を得ることができる。ここで、金属部材30に用いられる材料は、熱伝導性に優れた金属を主原料とする金属材であれば特に限定されず、銅やアルミニウム、マグネシウムなどを好適に用いることができる。なお、金属部材30の上面には、ダイス接着剤(ダイボンド部材)との接触面積を増大させるための多数のアンカー(図示せず)を形成しておくことが望ましい。   The metal member 30 is preferably partially joined to the through-hole of the insulating substrate 40, whereby it is possible to prevent each member from losing its physical properties due to thermal stress. The shape of the metal member 30 is not particularly limited as long as the metal member 30 has a thickness and a size that can provide a sufficient heat-drawing effect according to the power consumption of the light-emitting element 10 to be mounted. A large metal member 30 is preferable, and thus heat transferred from the light emitting element 10 on the upper surface side can be efficiently conducted to the lower surface. In particular, when the cross-sectional shape of the metal member 30 cut perpendicularly to the top surface is a substantially convex shape, the shape of the inner wall of the through hole is also a substantially convex shape, and the second top surface of the metal member 30 is penetrated. It is preferable to perform bonding with a flat surface in the hole, whereby a light-emitting device with high accuracy and high reliability can be obtained. Here, the material used for the metal member 30 is not particularly limited as long as it is a metal material mainly composed of a metal having excellent thermal conductivity, and copper, aluminum, magnesium, or the like can be suitably used. It is desirable to form a large number of anchors (not shown) on the upper surface of the metal member 30 for increasing the contact area with the die adhesive (die bond member).

(接着部材80) 金属部材30と絶縁性基板40の貫通孔の内壁との接合に用いられる接着部材80の材料は、固着可能であれば特に限定されないが、金属部材30の主成分が含有された接着部材80を用いると、固着強度を高めることができる。特にセラミック基板を用いる場合、耐熱性に優れているので、高強度の接着が可能な硬ロウ接合や共晶接合により金属部材30を固着することができる。例えば、銀と銅の合金を主原料とする銀ロウや、銅と亜鉛の合金が主材料である真鍮ロウ、アルミニウムが主原料であるアルミニウムロウ、ニッケルロウなどを用いることができる。特に、金属部材30と絶縁性基板40の貫通孔の内壁との接合には、金属部材30の主成分が含有された接着部材により部分的に接合することが好ましく、これにより金属部材30と絶縁性基板40との熱膨張係数差による残留応力を緩和することができる。   (Adhesive member 80) The material of the adhesive member 80 used for joining the metal member 30 and the inner wall of the through hole of the insulating substrate 40 is not particularly limited as long as it can be fixed, but contains the main component of the metal member 30. If the adhesive member 80 is used, the fixing strength can be increased. In particular, when a ceramic substrate is used, since the heat resistance is excellent, the metal member 30 can be fixed by hard soldering or eutectic bonding capable of high strength bonding. For example, silver brazing mainly using an alloy of silver and copper, brass brazing whose main material is an alloy of copper and zinc, aluminum brazing whose main material is aluminum, nickel brazing, or the like can be used. In particular, for joining the metal member 30 and the inner wall of the through hole of the insulating substrate 40, it is preferable that the metal member 30 is partially joined by an adhesive member containing the main component of the metal member 30, thereby insulating the metal member 30 from the insulation. Residual stress due to a difference in thermal expansion coefficient with the conductive substrate 40 can be relaxed.

(導電性部材61,62 ) 絶縁性基板40に形成された導電部材61,62 は、カソード電極61とアノ―ド電極62とされ、絶縁性基板40の上面から下面まで連続的に形成されている。この導電性部材61,62 の配線パターンは、発光素子の個数、種類,大きさなどにより、適宜変更することができる。導電性部材61,62 の材料は、導電性を有していれば特に限定されず、高い熱伝導性を有していることが好ましい。このような材料として、タングステン、クロム、チタン,コバルト、モリブデンやこれらの合金などが挙げられる。また、導電性部材の最表面は、搭載する発光素子からの光に対して高い反射率を有する部材にて被覆されていることが好ましい。絶縁性基板40の上面に形成された導電性部材61,62 の大部分は、透光性部材50にて被覆されていることが好ましく、これにより発光装置の劣化を抑制することができる。また、表面に露出している導電性部材61,62 には、酸化防止膜が形成されていることが好ましい。   (Conductive members 61, 62) The conductive members 61, 62 formed on the insulating substrate 40 are a cathode electrode 61 and an anode electrode 62, and are formed continuously from the upper surface to the lower surface of the insulating substrate 40. Yes. The wiring pattern of the conductive members 61 and 62 can be appropriately changed depending on the number, type, size, and the like of the light emitting elements. The material of the conductive members 61 and 62 is not particularly limited as long as it has conductivity, and preferably has high thermal conductivity. Examples of such a material include tungsten, chromium, titanium, cobalt, molybdenum, and alloys thereof. Moreover, it is preferable that the outermost surface of the conductive member is covered with a member having a high reflectance with respect to light from the light emitting element to be mounted. Most of the conductive members 61 and 62 formed on the upper surface of the insulating substrate 40 are preferably covered with the translucent member 50, which can suppress deterioration of the light emitting device. In addition, it is preferable that an antioxidant film is formed on the conductive members 61 and 62 exposed on the surface.

絶縁性基板40の上面から溝部42へ連続的に形成されたカソード電極61とアノ―ド電極62は、絶縁性基板40の下面まで延在形成されている。絶縁性基板40の下面に形成されたカソード電極61とアノ―ド電極62は、絶縁性基板40の側面に形成された溝部42から絶縁性基板40の角部側へ面積が広くなるように形成されている。   The cathode electrode 61 and the anode electrode 62 continuously formed from the upper surface of the insulating substrate 40 to the groove 42 are formed to extend to the lower surface of the insulating substrate 40. The cathode electrode 61 and the anode electrode 62 formed on the lower surface of the insulating substrate 40 are formed so that the area increases from the groove portion 42 formed on the side surface of the insulating substrate 40 to the corner side of the insulating substrate 40. Has been.

これにより、本実施形態の発光装置を実装配線板(図示せず)の表面に半田実装した際、半田が金属部材30側へ流動してショ―トすることを防き、信頼性高く実装することができる。また、本実施の形態の発光装置では、カソード電極61およびアノ―ド電極62がそれぞれ2つずつ設けられているが、配線板の回路部形状にあわせて、カソード電極61同士およびアノ―ド電極62電極同士を絶縁性基板40の下両側にて連結させ、1つずつにすることも可能である。   As a result, when the light emitting device of this embodiment is solder-mounted on the surface of a mounting wiring board (not shown), the solder is prevented from flowing and starting to the metal member 30 side, and is mounted with high reliability. be able to. Further, in the light emitting device of the present embodiment, two cathode electrodes 61 and two anode electrodes 62 are provided, but the cathode electrodes 61 and the anode electrodes are arranged in accordance with the circuit part shape of the wiring board. It is also possible to connect the 62 electrodes to each other on both lower sides of the insulating substrate 40 to form one by one.

発光素子10を載置する金属部材30の上面が絶縁性基板40の上面から突出していることにより、発光素子10からの光を効率よく外部へ取り出すことができる。しかし、これらの発光素子10、金属部材30等を透光性部材50により封止すると、製造時や発光時に透光性部材50にかかる熱ストレスは、発光素子10に集中する傾向にあり、発光素子10と他部材との接合が破壊される恐れがある。したがって、金属部材30の上面と透光性部材50の外周面との成す角度は、90度以下であることが好ましい。これにより、熱ストレスが周囲より突出して配置された発光素子10に集中することを抑制することができる。また、このように形成された透光性部材50から外部への光の半値角は、90度より大きいことが好ましく、これにより、均―な光が広範囲で得られるとともに、光の取り出し効率も高いので、発光装置の温度上昇を抑制することができる。   Since the upper surface of the metal member 30 on which the light emitting element 10 is placed protrudes from the upper surface of the insulating substrate 40, the light from the light emitting element 10 can be efficiently extracted to the outside. However, when the light emitting element 10, the metal member 30, and the like are sealed with the translucent member 50, the thermal stress applied to the translucent member 50 during manufacturing or light emission tends to concentrate on the light emitting element 10, and the light emission. There is a possibility that the joint between the element 10 and the other member is broken. Therefore, the angle formed by the upper surface of the metal member 30 and the outer peripheral surface of the translucent member 50 is preferably 90 degrees or less. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the thermal stress from concentrating on the light emitting element 10 arranged so as to protrude from the surroundings. In addition, the half-value angle of light from the translucent member 50 formed in this way is preferably larger than 90 degrees, so that uniform light can be obtained in a wide range and the light extraction efficiency is also improved. Since it is high, the temperature rise of the light emitting device can be suppressed.

Is used. Semiconductor structures include homostructures, heterostructures or double heterostructures with MIS junctions, PIN junctions or PN junctions. Various emission wavelengths can be selected from ultraviolet light to infrared light depending on the material of the semiconductor layer and the degree of mixed crystal. The light emitting layer may have a single quantum well structure or a multiple quantum well structure which is a thin film in which a quantum effect is generated.

発光装置を屋外などで使用する場合、高輝度な発光素子を形成可能な半導体材料として窒化ガリウム系化合物半導体を用いることが好ましい。また、赤色ではガリウム・アルミニウム・砒素系の半導体や、アルミニウム・インジウム・ガリウム・燐系の半導体を用いることが好ましいが、用途によって種々利用することもできる。窒化ガリウム系化合物半導体を使用した場合、半導体基板はサファイヤ、スピネル、SiC 、Si、ZnO やGaN 単結晶等の材料が用いられる。結晶性の良い窒化ガリウムを量産性良く形成させるためにはサファイヤ基板を用いることが好ましい。   When the light-emitting device is used outdoors, a gallium nitride-based compound semiconductor is preferably used as a semiconductor material capable of forming a high-luminance light-emitting element. In red, a gallium / aluminum / arsenic semiconductor or an aluminum / indium / gallium / phosphorous semiconductor is preferably used, but various semiconductors may be used depending on the application. When a gallium nitride compound semiconductor is used, a material such as sapphire, spinel, SiC, Si, ZnO or GaN single crystal is used for the semiconductor substrate. A sapphire substrate is preferably used to form gallium nitride with good crystallinity with high productivity.

発光素子10は、所望に応じて適宜複数個用いることができ、その色の組み合わせや配列状態によっては種々の形態の発光装置を実現することができる。例えば、ドットマトリクスや直線状など種々選択することができ、これにより、実装密度が極めて高く、熱引きに優れた発光装置が得られる。また、表示装置用のフルカラ―発光装置として利用するためには、発光波長が610nm から700nm である赤色系発光素子と、発光波長が495nm から565nm である緑色系発光素子と、発光波長が430nm から490nm である青色系発光素子とを組み合わせることが好ましい。   A plurality of light-emitting elements 10 can be used as appropriate, and various types of light-emitting devices can be realized depending on the combination of colors and the arrangement state. For example, various types such as a dot matrix and a linear shape can be selected, and as a result, a light emitting device having a very high mounting density and excellent heat dissipation can be obtained. Also, for use as a full color light emitting device for a display device, a red light emitting element with an emission wavelength of 610 nm to 700 nm, a green light emitting element with an emission wavelength of 495 nm to 565 nm, and an emission wavelength of 430 nm It is preferable to combine with a blue light emitting element having a wavelength of 490 nm.

また、本実施形態の発光装置において、蛍光物質を用いて白色系などの混色光を発光させるためには、蛍光物質からの発光波長との補色関係や透光性樹脂の劣化等を考慮して、発光素子10の発光波長は400nm 以上530nm 以下が好ましく、420nm 以上490nm 以下がより好ましい。発光素子10と蛍光物質との励起、発光効率をそれぞれより向上させるためには、450nm 以上475nm 以下がさらに好ましい。なお、比較的紫外線により劣化され難い部材との組み合わせにより、400nm より短い紫外線領域、あるいは可視光の短波長領域を主発光波長とするLEDを用いることもできる。また、発光素子10は、表面に導電性部材が配線された支持体やサブマウントと呼ばれる補助部材を介して金属部材30の上面に固定することも可能である。   In addition, in the light emitting device of the present embodiment, in order to emit a mixed color light such as a white type using a fluorescent material, considering the complementary color relationship with the emission wavelength from the fluorescent material, deterioration of the translucent resin, etc. The emission wavelength of the light emitting element 10 is preferably 400 nm or more and 530 nm or less, and more preferably 420 nm or more and 490 nm or less. In order to further improve the excitation and emission efficiency of the light emitting element 10 and the fluorescent material, 450 nm or more and 475 nm or less are more preferable. Note that an LED having a main emission wavelength in an ultraviolet region shorter than 400 nm or a short wavelength region of visible light can be used in combination with a member that is relatively difficult to be deteriorated by ultraviolet rays. Further, the light emitting element 10 can be fixed to the upper surface of the metal member 30 through a support member having a conductive member wired on the surface or an auxiliary member called a submount.

(ダイボンド部材 図示せず)
ダイボンド部材は、発光素子10と金属部材30とを固定させるための部材であり、これらを接着可能な部材であれば特に限定されない。特に、熱引きを考慮すると、発光素子10と金属部材30との固定は、Agぺ―スト、カ―ボンペ―スト、ITO ぺ―ストあるいは金属バンプ等を用いることが好ましい。特に、発熱量の多いパワ―系発光装置の場合、融点が高いことから高温下にて組織的構造が変化することが少なく、力学特性の低下が少ないAu-Sn系の共晶半田を用いることが好ましく、さらに、発光素子10の下面と金属部材30の上面が部分的に接合されていることが好ましい。これにより、ダイボンド部材により発光素子10の下面から発光される光が全反射されることによる発光素子10内部の光閉じ込めを抑制することができる。この光閉じこめの抑制は、発光素子10の光取り出し効率を向上させることができるだけでなく、発光装置の温度上昇をも抑制することができる。
(Die bond member not shown)
The die bond member is a member for fixing the light emitting element 10 and the metal member 30, and is not particularly limited as long as they can be bonded to each other. In particular, considering heat sinking, it is preferable to use an Ag paste, a carbon paste, an ITO paste, a metal bump, or the like for fixing the light emitting element 10 and the metal member 30. In particular, in the case of power-based light-emitting devices that generate a large amount of heat, use Au-Sn-based eutectic solder, which has a high melting point, so that the structural structure is unlikely to change at high temperatures and the mechanical properties are not significantly degraded. Further, it is preferable that the lower surface of the light emitting element 10 and the upper surface of the metal member 30 are partially joined. Thereby, light confinement inside the light emitting element 10 due to total reflection of light emitted from the lower surface of the light emitting element 10 by the die bonding member can be suppressed. This suppression of light confinement can not only improve the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting element 10, but also suppress the temperature rise of the light emitting device.

(透光性部材50) 透光性部材50は、発光素子10および絶縁性基板40の上面を被覆しており、外部環境からの外力や水分などから発光素子10を保護するものである。また、発光素子10からの光を効率よく外部に放出させるためのものである。このような透光性部材50を構成する具体的材料としては、エポキシ樹脂、ユリア樹脂、シリコ―ン樹脂、変性エポキシ樹脂、変性シリコ―ン樹脂、ポリアミドなどの耐候性に優れた透明樹脂やガラスなどが好適に用いられる。高密度に発光素子10を配置させた場合は、熱衝撃による各部材間の接合破壊を抑制するために、エポキシ樹脂、シリコ―ン樹脂やそれらを組み合わせたものなどを使用することがより好ましい。また、透光性部材50中には、視野角をさらに増やすために拡散剤を含有させても良い。具体的な拡散剤としては、チタン酸バリウム、酸化チタン、酸化アルミニウム、酸化珪素等が好適に用いられる。また、所望外の波長をカットする目的で有機や無機の着色染料や着色顔料を含有させることができる。   (Translucent member 50) The translucent member 50 covers the upper surfaces of the light emitting element 10 and the insulating substrate 40, and protects the light emitting element 10 from external force or moisture from the external environment. Further, the light from the light emitting element 10 is efficiently emitted to the outside. Specific materials constituting such a translucent member 50 include epoxy resins, urea resins, silicone resins, modified epoxy resins, modified silicone resins, transparent resins and glass having excellent weather resistance such as polyamide. Etc. are preferably used. When the light emitting elements 10 are arranged at a high density, it is more preferable to use an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, or a combination of them in order to suppress joint breakage between members due to thermal shock. Further, the translucent member 50 may contain a diffusing agent in order to further increase the viewing angle. As a specific diffusing agent, barium titanate, titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, silicon oxide or the like is preferably used. Moreover, an organic or inorganic coloring dye or coloring pigment can be contained for the purpose of cutting an undesired wavelength.

透光性部材50は、蛍光物質を含有させるためには、耐熱性および耐光性に優れ、紫外線を含む短波長の高エネルギー光に曝されても着色劣化し難いシリコ―ン樹脂や変性シリコ―ン樹脂であることが好ましく、これにより色ズレや色ムラの発生が抑制される。   The translucent member 50 is made of a silicone resin or modified silicone, which is excellent in heat resistance and light resistance in order to contain a fluorescent material, and hardly undergoes coloring deterioration even when exposed to short wavelength high energy light including ultraviolet rays. It is preferable to be a resin, which suppresses the occurrence of color misregistration and color unevenness.

(色変換層90、蛍光物質) 色変換層90は、発光素子10の光を変換させるものであり、発光素子10からの光をより長波長に変換させるものの方が効率がよい。色変換層90として蛍光体を用いる場合には、発光素子10の励起光により、黄色、赤色、緑色、青色に発光スペクトルを有する蛍光体を使用することができるほか、これらの中間色である黄色、青緑色、橙色などに発光スペクトルを有する蛍光体も使用することができる。これらの蛍光体を種々組み合わせて使用することにより、種々の発光色を有する発光装置を製造することができる。   (Color Conversion Layer 90, Fluorescent Material) The color conversion layer 90 converts light from the light emitting element 10, and it is more efficient to convert light from the light emitting element 10 to a longer wavelength. When a phosphor is used as the color conversion layer 90, a phosphor having an emission spectrum in yellow, red, green, and blue can be used by the excitation light of the light-emitting element 10, and yellow, which is an intermediate color thereof, A phosphor having an emission spectrum in blue green or orange can also be used. By using these phosphors in various combinations, light emitting devices having various emission colors can be manufactured.

発光素子10からの光がエネルギーの高い短波長の可視光の場合、色変換層90として、アルミニウム酸化物系蛍光物質の―種であるY3 Al5 12:Ce、(Y0.8 Gd0.2 3 Al5 12:Ce、Y3 (Al0.8 Ga0.2 5 12:Ce、(Y,Gd)3 (Al,Ga)5 12の組成式で表されるYAG蛍光体や、CA2 Si5 8 蛍光体が好適に用いられる。特に、YAG:Ce蛍光体は、その含有量によってLEDチップからの青色系の光を―部吸収して補色となる黄色系の光を発するので、白色系の混色光を発する高出力な発光装置を比較的簡単に形成することができる。例えば、青色に発光するGaN系化合物半導体を用いて、Y3 Al5 12:Ce若しくは(Y0.8 Gd0.2 3 Al5 12:Ceの蛍光物質に照射し、波長変換を行う。発光素子10からの光と、蛍光体からの光との混合色により白色に発光する発光装置を提供することができる。 When the light from the light-emitting element 10 is high-energy short-wavelength visible light, the color conversion layer 90 is Y 3 Al 5 O 12 : Ce (Y 0.8 Gd 0.2 ), which is a seed of an aluminum oxide phosphor. 3 Al 5 O 12: Ce, Y 3 (Al 0.8 Ga 0.2) 5 O 12: Ce, (Y, Gd) 3 (Al, Ga) and YAG phosphor represented by the composition formula of the 5 O 12, CA 2 Si 5 N 8 phosphor is preferably used. In particular, the YAG: Ce phosphor emits yellow light which is a complementary color by partially absorbing blue light from the LED chip depending on its content, and thus a high-power light-emitting device that emits white mixed light Can be formed relatively easily. For example, the wavelength conversion is performed by irradiating a fluorescent material of Y 3 Al 5 O 12 : Ce or (Y 0.8 Gd 0.2 ) 3 Al 5 O 12 : Ce using a GaN-based compound semiconductor that emits blue light. A light emitting device that emits white light by a mixed color of light from the light emitting element 10 and light from the phosphor can be provided.

(その他) 本実施の形態の発光装置は、さらにLEDチップの保護素子としてツェナーダイオードを設けることもできる。この場合、発光素子10と同様に導電性部材61,62 の表面にツェナーダイオードを載置したり、導電性部材の表面に載置されたツェナーダイオードの上面に発光素子10を載置する構成することもできる。また、絶縁性基板40の上面側に凹部を形成し、ツェナ―ダイオードを収納実装するスペ―スを設けることもできる。   (Others) The light-emitting device of the present embodiment can further include a Zener diode as a protection element of the LED chip. In this case, like the light emitting element 10, a Zener diode is placed on the surface of the conductive members 61 and 62, or the light emitting element 10 is placed on the upper surface of the Zener diode placed on the surface of the conductive member. You can also. Further, a recess can be formed on the upper surface side of the insulating substrate 40 to provide a space for accommodating and mounting a Zener diode.

(金属細線70) 金属細線70は、発光素子10と導電性部材61,62 とを電気的に接続するものである。金属細線70は、発光素子10の電極とのオ―ミック性、機械的接続性、電気伝導性及び熱伝導性が良いものが求められる。熱伝導率として0.01cal/(S)(cm2)(℃/cm2)以上が好ましく、より好ましくは0.5cal/(S)(cm2) (℃/cm2)である。   (Metal Fine Wire 70) The metal fine wire 70 is for electrically connecting the light emitting element 10 and the conductive members 61 and 62. The thin metal wire 70 is required to have good ohmic properties, mechanical connectivity, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity with the electrodes of the light emitting element 10. The thermal conductivity is preferably 0.01 cal / (S) (cm2) (° C / cm2) or more, more preferably 0.5 cal / (S) (cm2) (° C / cm2).

<第2の実施形態>
図5(a)、(b)は、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る発光装置における台座の断面形状、台座上およびカップ部底面上での色変換層の分布状態を概略的に示す側断面図および拡大図である。前述した第1の実施形態では金属部材30の上面は平坦である場合を示したが、第2の実施形態では、図5に示すように、金属部材30aの上面の中央部が周辺部よりも凹没しており、この凹没した中央部上に発光素子10を載置している点が異なる。この場合、蛍光物質90aを発光素子10の上面部よりも側面部の方が分厚くなるように堆積させることができる。つまり、凹没部内の発光素子10の周囲において、少なくとも発光素子10の発光層の側面を覆うように蛍光物質90aを堆積させることができる。これにより、従来の発光装置において色むらの原因の1つでもあった、発光素子10の発光層の側面からの光が波長変換されることなく外部へ放出されることを抑制することができる。
<Second Embodiment>
FIGS. 5A and 5B are diagrams schematically showing the cross-sectional shape of the pedestal in the light emitting device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and the distribution state of the color conversion layer on the pedestal and on the bottom of the cup part. It is sectional drawing and an enlarged view. In the first embodiment described above, the upper surface of the metal member 30 is flat. However, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the central portion of the upper surface of the metal member 30a is more than the peripheral portion. The difference is that the light emitting element 10 is placed on the recessed central portion. In this case, the fluorescent material 90 a can be deposited so that the side surface portion is thicker than the upper surface portion of the light emitting element 10. That is, the fluorescent material 90a can be deposited so as to cover at least the side surface of the light emitting layer of the light emitting element 10 around the light emitting element 10 in the recessed portion. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress light emitted from the side surface of the light emitting layer of the light emitting element 10 from being emitted to the outside without being wavelength-converted, which is one of the causes of color unevenness in the conventional light emitting device.

また、金属部材30の凹没部の側面は、凹没部の開口面に対して逆凸形状の曲面(すり鉢形状)であることが好ましい。これにより、発光素子10の発光層の角部(発光素子10の上面と側面とが接する部分)まで蛍光物質90aで覆うように堆積させることができる。   Further, the side surface of the recessed portion of the metal member 30 is preferably a reverse convex curved surface (conical shape) with respect to the opening surface of the recessed portion. Thereby, it is possible to deposit so as to cover the fluorescent material 90a up to the corner of the light emitting layer of the light emitting element 10 (the part where the upper surface and the side surface of the light emitting element 10 are in contact).

金属部材30の上面の中央部の凹没は、発光素子10の発光層が金属部材30の上面の最高位置より上方に突出する深さ(例えば発光素子10の厚さの約半分)を有すると、フェイスアップ実装された発光素子10の発光層が凹没部より上方になるので、配光範囲が広がる。   The depression at the center of the upper surface of the metal member 30 has a depth (for example, about half of the thickness of the light emitting element 10) in which the light emitting layer of the light emitting element 10 protrudes upward from the highest position of the upper surface of the metal member 30. Since the light emitting layer of the light emitting element 10 mounted face-up is above the recessed portion, the light distribution range is widened.

<第3の実施形態>
図6は、本発明の第3の実施形態に係る発光装置における台座上のダイボンド部材、台座上およびカップ部底面上での色変換層の分布状態を概略的に示す側断面図である。第3の実施形態は、前述した第1の実施形態と比べて、金属部材上にLEDチップ10を固着するためのダイボンド部材100 が、ダイス側面でダイス高さの(1/2)以上1未満の範囲を覆うように形成(例えば、ダイス側面に樹脂フィレット面が形成)されている点が異なる。
<Third Embodiment>
FIG. 6 is a side cross-sectional view schematically showing a distribution state of the color conversion layer on the die bond member on the pedestal, on the pedestal, and on the bottom of the cup portion in the light emitting device according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In the third embodiment, the die bonding member 100 for fixing the LED chip 10 on the metal member is (1/2) or more and less than 1 of the die height on the side surface of the die as compared with the first embodiment described above. It is different in that it is formed so as to cover the range (for example, a resin fillet surface is formed on the side surface of the die).

上記LEDチップ10の発光層の位置はダイスの種類に依存しているが、通常の発光素子10は、ダイス側面においてダイス高さの1/2以上の位置に発光層が露出している。本例では、ダイボンド部材100 は、ダイス側面においてダイス側面の下部からダイス高さの(1/2)以上、かつダイス上面よりも低い部分まで這い上がるように延在している。   The position of the light emitting layer of the LED chip 10 depends on the type of die, but in the normal light emitting element 10, the light emitting layer is exposed at a position of 1/2 or more of the die height on the side surface of the die. In this example, the die-bonding member 100 extends so as to crawl up from the lower part of the die side surface to (1/2) or more of the die height and lower than the upper surface of the die.

換言すれば、台座の上面にLEDチップ10を固着するために用いられているダイボンド部材100 は、ダイス側面の下部からダイス高さ方向へ延在し、ダイス側面で発光層が露出する位置より低い部分を覆っていることが好ましい。このようにLEDチップ10の側面を覆っている部分の上部にもYAG90a が堆積されることにより、YAG90a は、発光素子の発光層の側面にも配置されていることになる。   In other words, the die bonding member 100 used for fixing the LED chip 10 to the upper surface of the pedestal extends in the die height direction from the lower part of the die side surface and is lower than the position where the light emitting layer is exposed on the die side surface. It is preferable to cover the part. Thus, YAG90a is deposited also on the upper part of the portion covering the side surface of the LED chip 10, so that YAG90a is also disposed on the side surface of the light emitting layer of the light emitting element.

このようにすれば、YAG量を少なくする必要がある場合であっても、YAG90a をLEDチップ10の上面外周部付近で途切れることなく台座上の周辺まで連続的に十分に堆積させる(例えば沈降させる)ことが可能になる。結果として、連続的に堆積させたYAG90a によって色変換を連続的に行わせることが可能になり、色むらが少なく、均一な出力光が得られるようになる。また、ダイボンド部材100 は、透光性である方が好ましく、LEDチップ10の発光層の側面からでる光を遮ることを抑制できるため、発光効率が向上する。   In this way, even when it is necessary to reduce the YAG amount, the YAG 90a is continuously and sufficiently deposited to the periphery on the pedestal without being interrupted near the outer periphery of the upper surface of the LED chip 10 (for example, sedimented). ) Becomes possible. As a result, it is possible to perform color conversion continuously by continuously depositing YAG90a, and uniform output light can be obtained with little color unevenness. In addition, the die bond member 100 is preferably translucent, and can suppress light emitted from the side surface of the light emitting layer of the LED chip 10, thereby improving the light emission efficiency.

<第4の実施形態>
第4の実施形態では、前述した第1の実施形態と比べて、YAG90a は発光素子載置用の台座30 上にのみ形成されており、カップ部底面の周辺領域上には形成されていない点が異なる。このようにYAG90a を台座30上に局部的に形成する方法は、例えば前述した特許文献2(図5)中に開示されているように蛍光物質90a をスプレーコーティングにより堆積させる方法を採用することができる。
<Fourth Embodiment>
In the fourth embodiment, the YAG 90a is formed only on the pedestal 30 for mounting the light emitting element, and is not formed on the peripheral region on the bottom surface of the cup portion, compared to the first embodiment described above. Is different. As a method of locally forming YAG90a on the pedestal 30 in this way, for example, a method of depositing the fluorescent material 90a by spray coating as disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2 (FIG. 5) can be adopted. it can.

また、蛍光物質90a を含む第1の透光性部材が、発光素子10を覆うように台座上に配置(滴下)された後、さらに、その第1の透光性部材上を覆うように第2の透光性部材が充填される方法も採用することができる。ただし、本実施形態において、第1の透光性部材と第2の透光性部材との間には界面が無いものとする。例えば、滴下した第1の透光性部材を半硬化させた後(または半硬化させずに)、第2の透光性部材を滴下し、第1及び2の透光性部材を硬化することで可能となる。   In addition, after the first translucent member including the fluorescent material 90a is disposed (dropped) on the base so as to cover the light emitting element 10, the first translucent member is further covered so as to cover the first translucent member. A method in which two translucent members are filled can also be employed. However, in this embodiment, it is assumed that there is no interface between the first translucent member and the second translucent member. For example, after semi-curing the dropped first translucent member (or without semi-curing), the second translucent member is dropped to cure the first and second translucent members. Is possible.

また、蛍光物質90a を含む第1の透光性部材は、例えば特開2000−223750号公報中(図3)に開示されているように孔版印刷あるいはスクリーン印刷などにより配置することもできる。このような印刷法を、発光素子載置部の周辺にリフレクタ部を有するパッケージに対して適用する場合には、印刷の際に用いるマスクがリフレクタに干渉することを防止するために、リフレクタ部の上面と発光素子載置部の載置面とがほぼ同じ高さであることが好ましい。   Further, the first translucent member containing the fluorescent material 90a can be disposed by stencil printing or screen printing as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-223750 (FIG. 3). When such a printing method is applied to a package having a reflector portion around the light emitting element mounting portion, in order to prevent the mask used in printing from interfering with the reflector, It is preferable that the upper surface and the mounting surface of the light emitting element mounting portion have substantially the same height.

<第5の実施形態>

Thus, the color conversion layer in which the fluorescent member (YAG90a in this example) and the diffusing member 91 are almost uniformly mixed is formed so as to cover the light emitting element (blue LED chip in this example) 10 on the flat surface of the pedestal 30. Is done. Accordingly, the light emission output of the light emitting element 10 is diffused by the diffusion member, and the viewing angle of the light emission output can be further increased.

なお、拡散部材91は、透光性部材50に対して濡れ性の良い材料および形状のものを選択することが望まし。これにより、拡散部材91は沈降し易くなり、拡散部材91が蛍光部材90a とより均一に混合した状態を得ることが可能になる。   Desirably, the diffusing member 91 is selected from materials and shapes that have good wettability with respect to the translucent member 50. Thereby, the diffusing member 91 is easily settled, and it is possible to obtain a state in which the diffusing member 91 is more uniformly mixed with the fluorescent member 90a.

図10は、本発明の第9の実施形態に係る発光装置における発光素子部周辺に着目して台座上の蛍光部材層と拡散部材層の分布状態を概略的に示す側断面図である。第9の実施形態では、前述した第1の実施形態または他の実施形態において予め透光性部材50中に蛍光部材とともに透光性の拡散剤(アルミナあるいはシリカなど)を含有させておくように実施する。この場合、拡散部材として蛍光部材よりも比重が大きいものを用いると、透光性部材を充填した時に透光性部材中の拡散部材が蛍光部材よりも下方に沈降して堆積する。これにより、拡散部材91の層、蛍光部材(本例ではYAG90)の層の順に重なった状態で台座30の平坦面上で発光素子(本例では青色LEDのチップ)10を覆うように形成される。したがって、拡散部材91により覆われた発光素子10が近似的に点光源になり、発光出力の輝度および視野角をさらに増やすことが可能になる。

Thus, the light emitting element (blue LED chip in this example) 10 is formed to be covered on the flat surface of the pedestal 30 in a state where the diffusion member 91 layer and the fluorescent member (YAG90 in this example) are sequentially stacked. The Therefore, the light emitting element 10 covered with the diffusing member 91 is approximately a point light source, and the luminance and viewing angle of the light emission output can be further increased.
