- LEDs may include light emitting diodes, resonant cavity light emitting diodes, vertical cavity laser diodes, edge emitting lasers, or the like.

- torch for video general illumination (e.g., home, shop, office and studio lighting, theater/stage lighting and architectural lighting), augmented reality (AR) lighting, virtual reality (VR) lighting, as back lights for displays, and IR spectroscopy.
- a single LED may provide light that is less bright than an incandescent light source, and, therefore, multi-junction devices or arrays of LEDs (such as monolithic LED arrays, micro LED arrays, etc.) may be used for applications where more brightness is desired or required.
- FIG. 1 A is a top view of an example LED array 102. In the example illustrated in FIG.
- the LED array 102 is an array of emitters 120.
- LED arrays may be used for any application, such as those requiring precision control of LED array emitters.
- Emitters 120 in the LED array 102 may be individually addressable or may be addressable in groups/subsets.
- the LED array 102 may include emitters 120 that each have a width wi.
- the width wi may be approximately 100pm or less (e.g., 40 pm).
- Lanes 122 between the emitters 120 may be a width, W2, wide.
- the width W2 may be approximately 20pm or less (e.g., 5pm).
- the lanes 122 may provide an air gap between adjacent emitters or may contain other material.
- a distance di from the center of one emitter 120 to the center of an adjacent emitter 120 may be approximately 120pm or less (e.g., 45pm). It will be understood that the widths and distances provided herein are examples only and that actual widths and/or dimensions may vary.

- LED arrays such as the LED array 102, may include up to 20,000 or more emitters. Such arrays may have a surface area of 90 mm 2 or greater and may require significant power to power them, such as 60 watts or more.
- An LED array such as this may be referred to as a micro LED array or simply a micro LED.
- a micro LED may include an array of individual emitters provided on a substrate or may be a single silicon wafer or die divided into segments that form the emitters. The latter type of micro LED may be referred to as a monolithic LED.
- a silicon backplane may be provided in close proximity to the LED array and may become extremely hot during operation. Accordingly, heat dissipation can be challenging for such devices. While some solutions are known for heat dissipation for semiconductor devices, such solutions often include structures that dissipate heat through the top of the device. Due to light-emission, however, LED arrays, such as the LED array 102 of FIG. 1 A, may not be able to dissipate heat through the top of the device.
- LED arrays such as the LED array 102
- Embodiments described herein may provide for a low profile LED array package that may accommodate one or more passive elements and enable dissipation of heat generated by the silicon backplane and the LED array.
- FIG. 1 B is a diagram of a cross-sectional view of an example LED lighting system 100.
- the LED lighting system 100 includes a silicon backplane 104.
- the silicon backplane 104 has a top surface 101 , a bottom surface 103 and side surfaces 105.
- the side surfaces 105 of the silicon backplane 104 are surrounded by a substrate 106 formed from a molding material.
- the substrate 106 has a top surface 107, a bottom surface 109 and side surfaces 190.
- One or more metal layers 110 or redistribution layers (RDL) (shown in the alternative embodiment in FIG. 6E) are provided on the bottom surface 103 of the silicon backplane 104 and the bottom surface 109 of the substrate 106.
- RDL redistribution layers
- RDL 117 may be formed on at least a portion of the top surface 101 of the silicon backplane 104 and a top surface 107 of the substrate 106.
- the RDL 117 includes two layers 116a and 116b of a dielectric material 116 and a single metal layer 112.
- One or more vias 108 may extend through the substrate 106 and may be filled with a metal material. The vias may thus form a continuous electrical connection between the silicon backplane 104, the RDL 117 and the metallization/RDL 110.
- An LED array such as the LED array 102 of FIG. 1A, may be provided on the top surface 101 of the silicon backplane 104 and electrically coupled thereto via an array of metal connectors (not shown in FIG. 1 B).
- electronic components 114 may be provided on the RDL 117 and electrically coupled to the LED lighting system 100 via the metal layer 112.
- the LED array 102 may be a micro LED, such as described above with respect to FIG.
- the LED array 102 may have a depth d1.
- the depth d1 may be, for example, between 5 and 250 pm.
- the silicon backplane 104 may include the circuitry and connectors that make individually addressable connections to the emitters in the LED array 102.
- the silicon backplane may be a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit, which, in embodiments, may be an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
- CMOS complementary metal-oxide semiconductor
- ASIC application specific integrated circuit
- the silicon backplane 104 may have a depth d3. In embodiments, the depth d3 may be, for example, between 100 pm and 1 mm.
- a structure made up of the silicon backplane 104, the substrate 106, the metallization/RDL 110, the RDL 117 and the vias 108 may have a depth d2. In embodiments, the depth d2 may be, for example, between 100 pm and 1 mm. Since the silicon backplane 104 is integrated into the substrate, and the LED array 102 is provided on top of the silicon backplane 104, the LED lighting system 100 may have a lower profile relative to systems that vertically stack
- the RDL 117 includes two layers 116a and 116b of the dielectric material 116 and a single metal layer 112.
- the first layer 116a of the two layers of the dielectric material 116 may be on the top surface 107 of the substrate 106 and at least a portion of the top surface 101 of the silicon backplane 104.
- the metal layer 112 may be patterned on the first layer 116a of the dielectric material 116, such as by copper plating and copper etching.
- the second layer 116b of the dielectric material 116 may be on top of the patterned metal layer 112 and exposed portions of the first layer 116a of the dielectric material 116.
- RDL consisting of two layers of dielectric material and a single layer of metal are shown in FIG. 1 B, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the RDL 117 may include more or less layers of the dielectric material and/or more metal layers, depending on design constraints.
- the dielectric material 116 may be any suitable dielectric material.
- the dielectric material may be a polymer dielectric material, such as polyimide.
- the RDL 117 may extend from a perimeter region of the silicon backplane 104 towards the side surfaces 190 of the substrate 106. This may both accommodate the LED array 102 attached to the top surface 101 of the silicon backplane 104 in a central region and help with heat dissipation by containing the dielectric materials that may further insulate the LED lighting system 100 to areas away from the highest heat areas in the center of the LED lighting system 100.
- the metal layer 112 may have portions that are exposed from the dielectric material 116 to form bond pads.
- the metal layer 112 may include portions that extend between the perimeter region of the silicon backplane 104 and the bond pads to create a continuous electrical connection therebetween.
- the bond pads may be electrically coupled to the vias 108 to create a continuous electrical connection between top and bottom surfaces of the LED lighting system 100.
- the bond pads may be placed in the perimeter region of the substrate or spaced apart from but closer to the array (as shown in FIG. 1C, for example).
- the metallization/RDL 110 may be formed in a number of different ways.
- the metallization/RDL 110 is a metal layer including a first portion that is electrically and thermally coupled to the bottom surface 103 of the silicon backplane 104 in a central region and second portions that fan out from a perimeter region of the silicon backplane 104 toward the side surfaces 190 of the substrate 106.
- the first portion and the second portions may be electrically insulated from one another in embodiments.
- the second portions may extend from the silicon backplane 104 and join with individual vias 108 at bond pads, electrically coupling the silicon backplane 104 to the metal layer 112 on the top surface.
- Both the first and second portions of the metal layer 110 may be coupled to an external circuit board (not shown), such as by soldering. This may enable a direct connection between the LED lighting system 100 and the external circuit board, which provides improved heat sinking through the bottom of the LED lighting system. Additionally, this structure may enable communication between the silicon backplane 104, the LED array 102, the passive components 114 on the substrate 106 and any electronic components on the external circuit board.
- the metallization/RDL 110 may be a combination of a metal layer and RDL.
- a metal layer may be electrically and thermally coupled to the bottom surface 103 of the silicon backplane 104 in a central region.
- the fanout may be accomplished using RDL instead of the metal layer.
- the LED lighting device 100 may have RDL on both the top and bottom surfaces.
- the metallization/RDL 110 may be a thin structure compared to conventional silicon device packages and may include considerably less dielectric material than conventional silicon device packages.
- the metal layer 100 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 B may be a single metal layer, and the RDL may include as few dielectric layers as possible. This may increase the efficiency of the heat dissipation in such packages and enable packaging for micro-LEDs and CMOS backplanes that may emit substantial heat.
- the top surface 101 of the silicon backplane 104 and the top surface 107 of the substrate 106 are co-planar.
- the bottom surface 103 of the silicon backplane 104 and the bottom surface 109 of the substrate 106 are co-planar.
- This arrangement may allow for the slimmest possible packaging and ease of manufacture.
- the substrate 106 is molded, the substrate 106 may take any shape, such as, for example, where the substrate has a top surface 107 that is higher than the top surface 101 of the silicon backplane 104 to further distance the electronic components 114 from the high heat regions of the LED lighting system 100.
- these surfaces may not be co- planar.
- FIG. 1 C is a top view showing a top surface 130 of the example LED lighting system 100 of FIG. 1 B.
- the top surface 130 of the LED lighting system includes the top-most layer 116b of the dielectric material 116 in the RDL 117.
- Electronic components 114 are electrically coupled to the metal 112 in the RDL and exposed from the dielectric material 116. In embodiments, an electronic component 114 may not be electrically coupled to all regions of the metal 112 and, thus, the top surface 130 may, in embodiments, also include some regions of the metal 112 exposed from the dielectric material 116.
- a top surface of at least a portion of the silicon backplane 104 is shown in FIG. 1C and includes the portion of the top surface of the silicon backplane 104 that is not covered by the LED array 102 or the dielectric material 116.
- a top surface of the LED array 102 is also shown mounted on the top surface of the silicon backplane 104.
- the LED lighting system 100 has a length £i and a width my .
- the length ly may be approximately 20 mm and the width my may be approximately 15 mm.
- the silicon backplane 104 may have a length £2 and a width 2.
- the length £2 may be approximately 15.5 mm and the width m2 may be approximately 6.5 mm.
- the LED array 102 may have a length £ and a width m3.
- the length £ may be approximately 11 mm and the width m may be approximately 4.4 mm.
- an LED array package may be provided that has a relatively large surface area (300 mm 2 in the above example) with a relatively large amount of the surface area not taken up by the LED array (which has a surface area of approximately 100 mm 2 in the above example). Accordingly, this design provides ample space for attachment of electronic components on the LED array package.
- FIG. 1D is a bottom view showing a bottom surface 140 of the example LED lighting system 100 of FIG. 1B.
- the bottom surface 140 includes regions of the substrate 106 and regions of the metal 110 or solder pads coupled thereto that are exposed from the molding material 106.
- some regions of the substrate may be covered by metallization and/or portions of the RDL that interconnect the silicon backplane and the bond pads, although these are not shown in FIG. 1 D.
- the interconnecting metal regions and/or RDL may be covered by a dielectric material or other encapsulating or protective material (not shown in FIG. 1 D).
- the application system 200 may include a circuit board 150 that has a number of bond pads 152.
- exposed metal regions/bond pads of the RDL/metallization 110 of the LED lighting system 100 are bonded directly to the bond pads 152 of the circuit board 150.
- the direct bond between the metal layer 110 on the bottom surface of the silicon backplane 104 and the circuit board 150 enables efficient heat transfer from the LED lighting system 100 to the circuit board 150 for heat sinking purposes without need for additional heat dissipating structures over the top of the LED lighting system 100 (or elsewhere) that may, for example, otherwise block light emission from the LED array 102.
