Definitions
- the subject matter disclosed herein relates generally to components, modules, and methods for light emitting diode (LED) lighting. More particularly, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to devices, components and methods for increasing brightness extracted from and improving the manufacturability of light emitter devices, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) or LED components.
- LEDs light emitting diodes
- LEDs Light emitting diodes
- LED chips are solid state devices that convert electrical energy into light. LED chips can be utilized in light emitter components or packages for providing different colors and patterns of light useful in various lighting and optoelectronic applications. Light emitter components and methods can be used in various LED light bulb and light fixture applications, and are developing as replacements for incandescent, fluorescent, and metal halide high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting applications.
- Conventional light emitter components can utilize one or more LED chips mounted within a component body and sometimes surrounded by a reflector cavity. A ceramic or ceramic-based substrate can be used in association with the one or more LED chips.
- LED light emitting diode
- Figures 1A and 1 B are cross-sectional side views of a light emitter device component according to embodiments of the present subject matter
- Figures 2A and 2B are cross-sectional side views of a light emitter device component according to further embodiments of the present subject matter
- Figure 3 is a top view of a light emitter device component according to the present subject matter
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of a light emitter device component according to the present subject matter.
- Figure 5A is a cross-sectional view of a light emitter device component along line 5-5 of Figure 3, and Figure 5B illustrates a cross- sectional view of another embodiment of the light emitter device component.
- references to a structure being formed “on” or “above” another structure or portion contemplates that additional structure, portion, or both may intervene. References to a structure or a portion being formed “on” another structure or portion without an intervening structure or portion are described herein as being formed “directly on” the structure or portion.
- Light emitters or light emitting devices can comprise group lll-V nitride (e.g., gallium nitride (GaN)) based light emitting diode (LED) chips or lasers that can be fabricated on a growth substrate, for example, a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate, such as those devices manufactured and sold by Cree, Inc. of Durham, North Carolina.
- a growth substrate for example, a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate, such as those devices manufactured and sold by Cree, Inc. of Durham, North Carolina.
- Other growth substrates are also contemplated herein, for example and not limited to sapphire, silicon (Si) and GaN.
- SiC substrates/layers can be 4H polytype silicon carbide substrates/layers.
- Sic candidate polytypes such as 3C, 6H, and 15R polytypes, however, can be used.
- Appropriate SiC substrates are available from Cree, Inc., of Durham, N.C., the assignee of the present subject matter, and the methods for producing such substrates are set forth in the scientific literature as well as in a number of commonly assigned U.S. patents, including but not limited to U.S. Patent No. Re. 34,861 ; U.S. Patent No. 4,946,547; and U.S. Patent No. 5,200,022, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties. Any other suitable growth substrates are contemplated herein.
- Group III nitride refers to those semiconducting compounds formed between nitrogen and one or more elements in Group III of the periodic table, usually aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), and indium (In).
- the term also refers to binary, ternary, and quaternary compounds such as GaN, AIGaN and AllnGaN.
- the Group III elements can combine with nitrogen to form binary (e.g., GaN), ternary (e.g., AIGaN), and quaternary (e.g., AllnGaN) compounds. These compounds may have empirical formulas in which one mole of nitrogen is combined with a total of one mole of the Group III elements.
- formulas such as AlxGa1-xN where 1>x>0 are often used to describe these compounds.
- Techniques for epitaxial growth of Group III nitrides have become reasonably well developed and reported in the appropriate scientific literature.
- the crystalline epitaxial growth substrate on which the epitaxial layers comprising an LED chip are grown can be removed, and the freestanding epitaxial layers can be mounted on a substitute carrier substrate or substrate which can have different thermal, electrical, structural and/or optical characteristics than the original substrate.
- the subject matter described herein is not limited to structures having crystalline epitaxial growth substrates and can be used in connection with structures in which the epitaxial layers have been removed from their original growth substrates and bonded to substitute carrier substrates.
- Group III nitride based LEDs or LED chips can be fabricated on growth substrates (e.g., Si, SiC, or sapphire substrates) to provide horizontal devices (with at least two electrical contacts on a same side of the LED chip).
- the growth substrate can be maintained on the LED after fabrication or removed (e.g., by etching, grinding, polishing, etc.). The growth substrate can be removed, for example, to reduce a thickness of the resulting LED chip and/or to reduce a forward voltage through a vertical LED chip.
- a horizontal device (with or without the growth substrate), for example, can be flip chip bonded (e.g., using solder) to a carrier substrate or printed circuit board (PCB), or wire bonded.
- PCB printed circuit board
- Examples of horizontal LED chip structures are discussed by way of example in U.S. Publication No. 2008/0258130 to Bergmann et al. and in U.S. Publication No. 2006/0186418 to Edmond et al., the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.
- One or more LED chips can be at least partially coated with one or more phosphors.
- the phosphors can absorb a portion of the LED chip light and emit a different wavelength of light such that the LED device or package emits a combination of light from each of the LED chip and the phosphor. In one embodiment, the LED device or package emits what is perceived as white light resulting from a combination of light emission from the LED chip and the phosphor.
- One or more LED chips can be coated and fabricated using many different methods, with one suitable method being described in U.S. Patent Application Serial Nos. 11/656,759 and 11/899,790, both entitled "Wafer Level Phosphor Coating Method and Devices Fabricated Utilizing Method", and both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
- LED chips can also be coated using other methods such electrophoretic deposition (EPD), with a suitable EPD method described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No.
- LED devices, systems, and methods according to the present subject matter can also have multiple LED chips of different colors, one or more of which can be white emitting.

- LED component 110 as shown for example in Figure 1A can comprise a ceramic substrate or body 112 that can be of any suitable shape and configuration.
- ceramic- based LED components can provide improved reflection and thus improved efficiency.
- metal reflectors usually produce less than about 95% total reflection (i.e., diffuse plus specular)
- ceramic-based substrates can have reflectivity beyond 95%.
- at least portions of ceramic body 112 can be designed to have increased porosity to further increase the amount of diffuse reflection. For example, desirable improvement in reflection can be achieved with open porosity of between approximately 0% and approximately 5%.
- ceramic body 112 can be configured to exhibit even higher values of porosity to give brighter results, but such additional improvements in brightness can come at a cost of mechanical stability and thermal performance. As a result, designing ceramic body 112 to have a porosity in the range of between approximately 0% to approximately 15% can provide a good balance of these factors. Ceramic materials can further be desirable for use in LED components because of thermal management properties. For example, Alumina materials (AL 2 0 3 ) have relatively low thermal resistance, low moisture sensitivity, superior reliability at high temperature environments, and a superior ability to dissipate heat.

- the glass frits can be used as a binder and/or sintering inhibitor within the ceramic tape when the tape is fired.
- a green tape can be formed by casting a thick layer of a slurry dispersion of the glass frit, ceramic filler, one or more additional binders, and a volatile solvent.
- the cast layer can be heated at low temperatures to remove the volatile solvent.

- second intervening layer 118 is shown with a width that is wider than that of LED chip 114, and arrows A1 in Figure 1 B indicate broken lines to illustrate where first intervening layer 116 could extend to instead as one example where first intervening layer 116 would have a width that is less that the width of LED chip 114.

- dielectric layer 127 can be a flexible printed circuit board (“flextape" PCB) comprising a polymer-like film having at least one conductive layer within one or more layers of a flexible plastic resin (e.g., polyimide, Kapton from DuPont,).
- adhesive layer 126 can comprise a tape-like adhesive provided on the flextape for easy connection to ceramic body 112. It should be recognized, however, that dielectric layer 127 can comprise any material used in multilayer PCBs or flex PCBs, including prepreg materials, reinforced laminates (e.g., glass- reinforced epoxy, materials using carbon fiber), and non-reinforced materials.
- LED component 110 can further comprise an electrically insulating solder mask 130, which can be disposed on dielectric layer 127 and at least partially on electrical components 122 and 124 such that when solder is used to attach one or more wires to an electrical solder pad (not shown), the solder will be contained within the predefined area. Choosing a white solder mask can improve the overall reflectivity of LED component 110.
- a fillet 134 can be provided around a perimeter of a light emitting area defined above the top surface of ceramic body 112, which can be either transparent or reflective (e.g., white).
- fillet 134 can be made white by incorporating Ti0 2 particles therein or by forming fillet 134 of silicone or epoxy materials. Regardless of the specific configuration, fillet 134 can improve reflection of the sidewall portions of LED component 110, thereby compensating in configurations where dielectric layer 127 has a comparatively lesser reflectivity (e.g., where dielectric layer 127 comprises FR-4). Exemplary configurations for LED component 110 having such a fillet 134 can be found in commonly owned U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 13/435,912, filed March 30, 2012, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.

- a thin reflective layer can be applied to the bottom of substrate 112 without a supportive base.
- the reflectivity of base layer 200 can enable LED component 110 to achieve high performance with a comparatively thinner ceramic body 112.
- ceramic body 112 can be sized so that it only needs to provide less than 90 percent total reflection (or even less than 50 percent total reflection), and the addition of base layer 200 can compensate for the reduced reflectivity.
- ceramic, non-metal body 112 can have a thickness as small as 2 mm or less, 1.5 mm or less, or even 1 mm or less (e.g., 1/2 mm) and still provide improved total reflectivity compared to conventional metal reflectors.
