- iAl 5 Oi2:Ceo.o mixture was prepared and attached to blue LED light sources with 440, 442 and 448 nm peak emission.
- Fig 5 shows the CIE 1976 color points of the three LEDs and in comparison the color points of the pure constituents of the mixture. The v' variation of the mixture is greatly reduced compared the color points of the pure constituents of the mixture on top of the same LED light sources.
- a silicone sheet of ⁇ 90 ⁇ thickness containing 16.2 vol% of a 67 vol% (Sr 0 .9Ca 0 .i)o.96Si202N2:Euo.o4 + 33 vol% Y2.9iAl 5 Oi2:Ceo.o9 mixture is attached to another silicone sheet of ⁇ 15 ⁇ thickness containing 16.2 vol% of a red light emitting
- the stack is attached to various blue LED light sources (peak emission at 440, 442, and 448 nm) with the red light emitting sheet of the stack oriented to the LED emission surface.
- Fig. 6 shows the three emission spectra of the LEDs; it clearly can be seen that - although the blue light varies - the overall emission spectra is nearly identical, i.e. no "binning" of the pcLEDs is necessary.
- Fig. 7 shows the resulting CIE 1976 color points of the LEDs. All color points are located close to the center of the 3500 K ANSI C78.377 A color bin, thus the influence of blue pump bin variations are greatly reduced compared to binary green/yellow + red phosphor combinations.
- a silicone layer of ⁇ 56 ⁇ thickness was prepared containing 5.9 vol% (Sr 0 .9Ca 0 .i)o.96Si202N2:Euo.o4 + 5.9 vol% Y2.9iAl 5 Oi2:Ceo.o9 + 8.1 vol% red nitride phosphor (peak emission of about 620 nm) mixture and applied to blue emitting LEDs with peak emission ranging from 430 to 470 nm.
- Fig. 8 shows the resulting CIE 1976 color points of the LEDs. All color points are located within the 3500 K ANSI C78.377 A color bin, thus the influence of blue pump bin variations are greatly reduced compared to binary green/yellow + red phosphor combinations.
- Fig. 9 shows the resulting CIE 1976 color points of the LEDs made with pure combination of a red nitride phosphor (peak emission of about 620 nm) with (i) a Celll (Y2. iAl 5 Oi2:Ceo.o ) [line curve] or (ii) a EuII phosphor ((Sr 0 .9Ca 0 .i)o. 6Si202N2:Euo.o4) [dashed curve] . Only for blue peak emission wavelengths centered to +/- 4nm around the centre 450nm wavelength, color points are located within the 3500 K ANSI C78.377.
- Bao.98Sr 0 .98Si0 4 :Eu 2+ o.o4 (BOSE) + 4.3 vol% Y 2 .9iAl 5 Oi2:Ce 0 .o9 + 10.5 vol% red nitride phosphor (peak emission of about 620 nm) mixture was applied to blue emitting LEDs with peak emission ranging from 430 to 470 nm.
- Fig. 10 shows the resulting CIE 1976 color points of the LEDs. All color points are located within the 2700 K ANSI C78.377 A color bin, thus the influence of blue pump bin variations are greatly reduced compared to binary green/yellow + red phosphor combinations.
- a silicone layer of ⁇ 260 ⁇ thickness was prepared containing 4.4 vol% Sr 4 . 9 Al 5 Si2i02N35:Euo.i + 3.4 vol% Lu2.88Al 5 Oi2:Ceo.i2 + 12.3 vol% red nitride phosphor (peak emission of about 609 nm) mixture and applied to blue emitting LEDs with peak emission ranging from 430 to 470 nm.
- Fig. 12 shows the resulting CIE 1976 color points of the LEDs. All color points are located within the 2700 K ANSI C78.377 A color bin, thus the influence of blue pump bin variations are greatly reduced compared to binary green/yellow + red phosphor combinations.
- Fig. 11 shows the resulting CIE 1976 color points of the LEDs made with pure combination of a red nitride phosphor (peak emission of about 609 nm) with (i) a Ce(III) Lu2.88Al 5 Oi2:Ceo.i2 [dashed curve] or (ii) a Eu(II) phosphor (Sr 4 . 9 Al 5 Si2i02N35:Euo.i) [line curve].
- the invention provides a method of fabricating phosphor coated LEDs on a wafer level scale. The method comprises the step of providing a growth wafer or substrate on which a plurality of LEDs is fabricated.
- the LEDs may be epitaxially grown on the growth wafer or may have been bonded to a host substrate.
- the wafer can be made of many materials such as sapphire, silicon carbide, aluminium nitride, and gallium nitride.
- the LEDs may be fabricated from different material systems, with a preferred material system being Group-Ill nitride based.
- Group-Ill nitrides refer to those semiconductor compounds formed between nitrogen and elements in the Group III of the periodic table, usually aluminum, gallium and indium.
- the term also refers to ternary and quaternary compounds, such as AlGaN and AlInGaN.
- the layers of the LEDs generally comprise an active layer/region sandwiched between first and second oppositely doped epitaxial layers, all of which are formed successively on the growth wafer.
- the active region is arranged to emit light with a wavelength in the range 430 - 470 nm.
- the LED layers can initially be formed as continuous layers across the growth wafer or substrate. Subsequently, the layers may be partitioned or separated into individual LEDs, for instance by etching down to the wafer through the active region and doped layers, thus forming open areas between the LEDs. Alternatively, the active region and doped layers can remain continuous layers on the wafer and can be separated into individual devices when the (phosphor coated) LED chips are singulated.
- the method further comprises the step of providing a wavelength conversion material.
- the wavelength conversion material comprises the phosphor composition according to the first aspect of the invention.
- the wavelength conversion material is mounted over the plurality of LEDs on the wafer.
- the wavelength conversion material comprises a phosphor/binder coating that covers each of the plurality of LEDs on the wafer.
- the phosphor/binder coating can be applied using different known processes, such as dispensing, jet printing, screen printing, electrophoretic deposition, or electrostatic deposition.
- the wavelength conversion material can be fabricated as a separate preform that can be bonded to or mounted over the LEDs on the wafer.
- the pre-form may for instance be a sheet of a transparent matrix material, such as silicone, in which the phosphor is dispersed.
- the pre-form may be a stack of such sheets as for instance described in Example III above.
- the pre-form may be a ceramic slab comprising the phosphor composition.
- Such a wafer scale slab may be glued to the LEDs on the wafer, or may be bonded to the substrate (f.i. a sapphire host substrate) onto which LEDs have been transferred from the growth wafer.
- the method further comprises the step of singulating the individual LED chips from the wafer. This can be realized using known methods such as dicing, scribe and breaking, or etching. The singulating process separates each of the (phosphor coated) LED chips with each having substantially the same emission characteristics. This allows for a reliable and consistent fabrication of LED chips having substantially similar emission characteristics.
- the singulated phosphor coated LED chips may be packaged. This can comprise mounting the LED chips in a package, to a submount, or to printed circuit board. This can be done without the need for further processing to add or remove phosphor in order to achieve a consistent color point.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne une composition luminescente pour LED avec une courbe d'absorption plate dans la plage spectrale bleue (430 à 460 nm) en ayant un luminophore dopé avec Ce (III) et un luminophore dopé avec Eu (II). L'augmentation de l'absorption du luminophore dopé avec Ce (III) de 430 nm à 460 nm compense la diminution d'absorption du luminophore dopé avec Eu (II) conduisant à un comportement d'absorption aplanie indésirable du mélange.
