Problems solved by technology

This method requires chip-bonding LED procedures and removal of the insulating substrate. However, if the junction between the conductor layer and the LED chip is not uniform, it will also affect the performance of the LED.
Furthermore, the removal of the insulating substrate will increase the cost, so the traditional method is complex and expensive

Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) device is presented. The LED device includes a substrate, a layered LED structure, and an embedded bottom electrode. The layered LED structure includes a buffer / nucleation layer disposed on the substrate, an active layer, and a top-side contact. A first-contact III-nitride layer is interposed between the buffer / nucleation layer and the active layer. A second-contact III-nitride layer is interposed between the active well layer and the top-side contact. A bottom electrode extends through the substrate, through the buffer / nucleation layer and terminates within the first-contact III-nitride layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a light emitting diode (LED), and more particularly to a vertical Ill-nitride LED disposed on a patterned substrate with a mosaic bottom electrode. Background technique [0002] The manufacture of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is mainly formed by forming an active region on the substrate, various conductors and semiconductors on the substrate, which utilizes the radiative combination of electrons and holes to generate current at the p-n junction and emit electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation can be generated by direct bandgap materials, such as GaAs or GaN, creating a forward bias of the p-n junction and introducing electrons and holes to combine into the depletion region. Electromagnetic radiation can be visible or invisible. Different bandgap materials can produce LEDs of different colors. In addition, the invisible light excited by the LED can directly irradiate the phosphor or the like, and the phosp...
