Assignee:

GELcore LLC - Valley View OH

International Classification:

H01L 2120

US Classification:

438507, 438 20, 438 22, 438 24, 438 46, 438 47, 438 48

Abstract:

A light-emitting element ( ) is disclosed. A light emitting diode (LED) includes a sapphire substrate ( ) having front and back sides ( ), and a plurality of semiconductor layers ( ) deposited on the front side ( ) of the sapphire substrate ( ). The semiconductor layers ( ) define a light-emitting structure that emits light responsive to an electrical input. A metallization stack ( ) includes an adhesion layer ( ) deposited on the back side ( ) of the sapphire substrate ( ), and a solderable layer ( ) connected to the adhesion layer ( ) such that the solderable layer ( ) is secured to the sapphire substrate ( ) by the adhesion layer ( ). A support structure ( ) is provided on which the LED is disposed. A solder bond ( ) is arranged between the LED and the support structure ( ). The solder bond ( ) secures the LED to the support structure ( ).

Emcore Corporation - Somerset NJ

International Classification:

H01L 33/00

US Classification:

257 98, 257 81, 257100, 257676, 257680, 438 22, 438 23, 438 24, 313501, 313512

Abstract:

A light-emitting package includes a substantially transparent substrate having a first surface and a second surface including a lens. The package also includes a light-emitting diode (LED) adapted to emit light having a predetermined wavelength, the LED being secured over the first surface of the substantially transparent substrate. The second surface of the substrate defines a principal light emitting surface of the package. The lens at the second surface has a grating pattern that matches the predetermined wavelength of the light emitted from the LED for controlling the emission geometry of the light emitted by the package. The grating pattern has a radial configuration including a series of circles that are concentric.
