Description of the invention (25) Between the number of supporting members (supp0fts) 142. The sealant material layer 144 does not extend into each of the openings 150. The following will describe the light (Hght) generated by the LED 100. Relative to the n-side contact pads 1 3 6 and the p-side contact pads 1 3 8 are at a positive potential, so that the electric current is input into the LED 100. When a current passes through the light generating region 130, the electrons emitted from the silicon-doped (η-doped) gallium nitride layer 314 and the nitride from the magnesium-doped (ρ-doped) nitride The holes of the gallium layer 128 are combined together on the light generating region 130, so that light can be generated in the light generating region 130. In addition, a large number of point dipole radiation sources (point dipole i ^ diation sources) are included in the light generating region 13. Under the action of the point dipole radiation sources, the light generated by the light generating region 130 (such as : Isotropic (is 〇tr 〇pica 1 1 y)) can have the characteristics of the spectrum of the light wavelength of the material made in the light generating area 130. Under the action of the InGaN / GaN quantum well, a peak waveiength of about 445 nanometers (namomewters (nm)) and a full width at half maximum of about 30 nm can be produced through the light generating region 130 half maximum) (FWHM). It is worth noting that compared to the charge carriers in the silicon-doped (n-doped) gallium nitride layer 134, the magnesium-doped (ρ-doped) gallium nitride layer 1 2 The 8 series has relatively low carrier mobility (m 0 bi 1 ity). In this way, by placing the silver layer 126 (which is conductive) along the surface of the magnesium-doped (p-doped) gallium nitride layer 1 2 8, the ρ edge contact pad

138至鎂摻雜(P-摻雜)氮化鎵層128、光產生區域130之電 荷注入(charge injection)的均勻度(unif〇rmity)是可以 有效地被提高的,同時亦可減少LE D 1 0 0之電阻 (electrical resistance)及 / 或提高 LED 1〇〇 之注入效率 (injection efficiency)。此外,由於矽晶摻雜(n—摻雜) 氛化叙層134具有車父南之載子移動率(courier ' mobi 1 i ty),則電子便可自n邊接觸墊136而快速通過氮化 鋁鎵層132、矽晶摻雜(n-摻雜)氮化鎵層134,於實質上便 可使得在產生區域130之中、且通過產生區域丨3〇之任何位 置上的電流密度(current density)處於均勻狀態。再 者,由於銀層126具有相對較高的導熱性(thermal conductivity),如此便可藉由銀層126做為LED 1〇〇之散 熱器(heat sink)(將熱量經由多重推疊層122、以垂直的 方式而傳遞至載具120)。 由光產生區域130所產生之至少一部分的光線係可被 導引至銀層1 26之上。隨後,經由銀層丨26所反射的光線係 可經由石夕晶摻雜(η -摻雜)氮化鎵層丨3 4之上表面1 1 〇、朝向 LED 100之外部發出,或是銀層126所反射之光線係可經由 LED 100中之半導體材料(semic〇nduct〇r materiai)吸收 而升v成了 孔’同對(electron-hole pair),並且在孔洞對 於光產生區域130之中進行結合的作用下,則於光產生區 域130中便可產生光線。同樣地,由光產生區域13〇所產生 之部分的光線係可被導引至n邊接觸墊136,並且藉由n邊 接觸墊136之底側(underside)的製成材料(例如:鈦(Ti)/The uniformity of the charge injection of the 138 to Mg-doped (P-doped) gallium nitride layer 128 and the light-generating region 130 can be effectively improved while reducing the LE D Electrical resistance of 100 and / or improvement of injection efficiency of LED 100. In addition, since the silicon doped (n-doped) atmosphere layer 134 has a carrier mobility (courier 'mobi 1 i ty) of the south, the electrons can pass the nitrogen from the n-side contact pad 136 quickly through nitrogen. The aluminum gallium layer 132 and the silicon-doped (n-doped) gallium nitride layer 134 can substantially make the current density at any position in the generation region 130 and through the generation region 30 ( current density) is in a uniform state. Furthermore, because the silver layer 126 has a relatively high thermal conductivity, the silver layer 126 can be used as a heat sink for the LED 100 (the heat is passed through multiple push-stacks 122, Passed to the carrier 120 in a vertical manner). At least a part of the light generated by the light generating region 130 may be directed onto the silver layer 126. Subsequently, the light reflected through the silver layer 26 can be emitted through the upper surface of the crystalline silicon doped (η-doped) gallium nitride layer 3 1 1 10 toward the outside of the LED 100, or the silver layer. The light reflected by 126 can be absorbed by the semiconductor material (semiconductor materiai) in LED 100 to become an electron-hole pair, and it is carried out in the hole-to-light-generating area 130. Under the combined effect, light can be generated in the light generating region 130. Similarly, the part of the light generated by the light generating region 13 can be guided to the n-side contact pad 136, and made of a material (eg, titanium ( Ti) /

The diffraction becomes a higher order (oblque angles). Figure 14 shows the trends described above, as well as the efficiencies of entering the solid angle (given by the collective half angle (c0Uec1: inon half-angle) in the figure). The data shown in Figure 14 are obtained by calculating the parameters used for LED 100 in Figure 2, but these parameters do not include the emitted light with a peak wavelength of 53 ° and 3 4 nm. , The refractive index of the sealant is 1.0, the thickness of the p-doped material layer is 160 nm, and the thickness of the light-generatmg layer is 30%, as shown in FIG. 14 The closest neighbor distance (NND) (a) for the three curves, and the depth of 1 · 2 7a, 0 · 7 2 a, 1 · 2 7a + 4 0 nm in proportion to, a !, The opening diameter and the thickness of the n-doped material layer.

It is certain that for any number of points of the inverted lattice vector G within the light energy level of the material, the number of inverted lattices within the sealant light energy level when the wave vector k = 0 in the flat 3 plane is limited. For the pattern of the number of G points of the vector, the extraction efficiency of entering the solid angle can be improved by these patterns. The solid angle is centered and aligned with the normal direction of the upper surface. It is worth noting that the above method is particularly effective in reducing the source etendue. This source tone is usually proportional to n2, where 〇 is the refractive index of surrounding material (eg, sealant). . Therefore, by reducing the refractive index of the encapsulant material layer in LED 1000, this will result in more parallel col 1 imated emissions, fewer source sound ranges, and lower High surface brightness (surf ace bright ness) (here it is defined as the total brightness introduced into the source range).

In addition, since the gallium nitride epitaxial stacking system bonded to the sapphire substrate 502 may continue to form warpage or warping, the system can make the gallium nitride epitaxial stacking self-warping or bending Bending to achieve a relaxing effect, and it can be assumed that the exposed surface of the n-doped silicon: gallium nitride layer 506 has a relatively flat shape. When the submount 120 is used to prevent cracks during the laser lift-off process, the coefficient of thermal expansion must be considered. In addition, the number of cracks in the laser lift-off process can be reduced by the substantial overlapping and repeated processes of the electromagnetic fields in the step. Please refer to Figure 19, for η-doped silicon: After the exposed surface of the gallium nitride layer 50 is etched, the layer structure formed with a desired thickness can be provided as a final device (final deviceK FIG. 20). After the etching operation, a roughened surface texture 70 0 can be formed on the surface of n-doped Shi Xi: GaN layer 506 under the action of the last name. The rough surface structure 70 0 can be subjected to pianarized and thinned (eg, chemical-mechanical process), so that η-doped silicon: gallium nitride layer 5 0 6 has reached a final thickness,

Layer to accelerate its soldering onto the package's gold-plated surface (plated surf ace). It is believed that under the effect of the packaging layer of LED 100, it can tolerate higher power loads per unit area. In addition, for standard LEDs, the degradation of the encapsulation layer is usually regarded as a failure mechanism, so the use of the encapsulation layer can be avoided. Since LEDs are cut through a large-area planarized wafer, the light output per unit (light output) does not decrease with area. In addition, since the cross-sections of individual LEDs cut by the wafer are only slightly larger than the light-emitting surface area of the LEDs, these individual and separated addressable LEDs can be tightly packed using an array method. Furthermore, if one of the plurality of LEDs fails (for example, due to a large defect), but the individual light-emitting devices are arranged in a relatively tight array, their efficiency will not be significantly affected. influences. ^ " From this, it can be seen that the features proposed in the above embodiments are equally applicable.
