It should be noted that numerous different embodiments are described here to illustrate various aspects of the present disclosure. The described specific components and arrangements are provided solely for the purpose of clearly illustrating some embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In different embodiments, similar and / or corresponding elements may be designated by similar and / or corresponding reference numerals for the sake of clarity.However, such similar and / or corresponding reference numerals are provided solely for a clear and concise description of certain embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to imply any substantial relationship between the various embodiments and / or structures described herein.

[0009] It should be noted that relative terms may be used in the embodiments of this disclosure, such as "lower(s)," "lowest(s)," "upper(s)," or "top(s)" to describe the relative relationship of one element to another in the drawings. It should further be understood that if the device illustrated in the drawings is reversed, an element described as being on the "lower" side may instead be located on the "upper" side. The embodiments of this disclosure are to be understood in conjunction with the drawings, which are considered to be an integral part of this disclosure.Furthermore, it is intended that references to a first element arranged "on" or "above" a second element, arrangements in which the first element is in direct contact with the second element, and arrangements in which one or more intermediate elements may be arranged between the first and second elements are included. However, if the first element is described as being directly on top of the second element, it is understood that the first element is in direct contact with the second element. It is also understood that terms of order such as "first(s)," "second(s)," and the like, when used in the application text and claims to modify an element, are not to be interpreted as indicating a temporal sequence of the element or the second element.The terms "elements" do not indicate or imply an order of one element relative to another, or a sequence in a manufacturing process. Instead, such ordering terminology is used solely to distinguish one element with a particular designation from another element with the same designation. It should also be understood that it is not necessary to use consistent terminology between the application text and the claims. For example, an element identified as a "first" element in the application text may be referred to as a "second" element in the claims.

[0010] As used here, the terms "approximately," "about," and "essentially" generally refer to being within 10%, 5%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or 0.5% of a given value or range. A value provided here is to be considered approximate, with the meaning of attributes such as "approximately," "about," or "essentially" being implied even in their absence. The phrase "within the range of a first value to a second value" or "from a first value to a second value" is intended to include the first value, the second value, and all values ​​in between. Furthermore, any two values ​​or directions used for comparison may be subject to a margin of error.When a first value is specified as equal to a second value, it should be understood that a permissible deviation of approximately 10%, 5%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or 0.5% between the first and second values ​​is implied. When a first direction is specified as perpendicular to a second direction, the angle between the first and second directions may be in the range of 80 degrees to 100 degrees. When a first direction is specified as parallel to a second direction, the angle between the first and second directions may be in the range of 0 degrees to 10 degrees.

[0011] In the present disclosure, the directions are not restricted to the three axes of a Cartesian coordinate system, such as the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, and can be interpreted in a broader sense. For example, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis can be perpendicular to each other or, without restriction, can represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other. For descriptive purposes, the X-axis direction is referred to as a first direction (D1) (latitude direction), the Y-axis direction is referred to as a second direction D2 (longitudinal direction), and the Z-axis direction is referred to as a third direction D3 (thickness or depth direction). In some embodiments, a top-view diagram described herein represents a cross-sectional view viewed in the XY plane, and a cross-sectional diagram described herein represents a cross-sectional view viewed in the XZ plane.In some embodiments, the third direction D3 can correspond to the normal direction of a light-emitting element. In some embodiments, the phrase "a space between an element and another element" refers to a distance between a first boundary of one element and a second boundary of another element, the second boundary being the boundary closest to the first boundary.

Accordingly, an external current can be applied to the LED chip 13 via the conductive contact surface 80, the conductive component 70, and the electrode 130. In some embodiments, the LED assembly 1 has a cube shape or a cube-like shape.

[0021] With reference to Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17, Fig. 18 to Fig. Figure 19 illustrates schematic cross-sectional views of a light-emitting diode assembly 1 in various stages of a formation process according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0022] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, a first substrate 10 is provided. In some embodiments, the first substrate 10 may be a compound from Groups III-V, such as gallium nitride (GaN), gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium phosphide (GaP), aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs), aluminum nitride (AlN), or aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN); an element from Group IV or a compound from Group IV, such as silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC), or diamond (C); other suitable materials; or a combination thereof.

However, the present disclosure is not limited to these.In some embodiments, the first substrate 10 may be or may contain polyimide (PI), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), other suitable materials, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these. In some embodiments, the first substrate 10 may be or may contain a flexible substrate, a bendable substrate, a rigid substrate, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these. For example, the first substrate 10 may be a sapphire substrate. In some embodiments, the first substrate 10 may be or may contain a transparent substrate, a translucent substrate, or an opaque substrate. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these.

[0023] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, following the steps above, a first release layer 11 is applied to the first substrate 10. In some embodiments, the first release layer 11 may be or may contain a laser-soluble adhesive, a UV-soluble adhesive, a heat-soluble adhesive, other suitable materials, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the first release layer 11 completely covers an upper surface of the first substrate 10. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first release layer 11 may partially cover the upper surface of the first substrate 10. For example, the first release layer 11 may partially cover the upper surface of the first substrate 10 corresponding to a position where the light-emitting diode chip 13 is subsequently placed.

[0024] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, in some embodiments several LED chips 13 are arranged side by side on the first deposition layer 11 on the first substrate 10. It should be noted that, for the sake of clarity, only one LED chip 13 is shown on the first deposition layer 11 on the first substrate 10. Fig. Figure 2 is shown. In some embodiments, the light-emitting diode chip 13 can be or contain a thin-film flip-chip LED or a flip-chip LED. The term "thin-film flip-chip LED" refers to a light-emitting diode chip 13 from which a growth substrate has been removed. In other words, the light-emitting diode chip 13 has no growth substrate.

[0025] In some embodiments, the LED chips 13 are first arranged on an adhesive layer of a temporary substrate (not shown) by a laser transfer process or a similar process, and the adhesive layer is removed along with the temporary substrate, thereby transferring the LED chips 13 onto the first release layer 11. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the LED chips 13 can be transferred onto the first release layer 11 by a pick-up process.

[0026] With reference to Fig. 2 In some embodiments, a first adhesive layer 12A can further be arranged between the LED chip 13 and the first release layer 11. In some embodiments, the first adhesive layer 12A can first be arranged on the first release layer 11, followed by bonding the LED chip 13 to the first adhesive layer 12A. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first adhesive layer 12A can first be arranged on the LED chip 13, followed by transferring the LED chip 13 together with the first adhesive layer 12A onto the first release layer 11.

[0027] In some embodiments, the first adhesive layer 12A may be or contain polyimide (PI), polybenzoxazole (PBO), epoxy resin, transparent silicone, other suitable materials, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0028] With reference to Fig. 2 Each of the light-emitting diode chips 13 contains a light-emitting surface 13A, an electrode surface 13B, and several side surfaces 13C. The electrode surface 13B is opposite the light-emitting surface 13A, and the side surfaces 13C are arranged between the electrode surface 13B and the light-emitting surface 13A. As used here, the electrode surface 13B refers to the surface of the light-emitting diode chip 13 on which the electrode 130 is located, and not to the surface of the electrode 130 itself. The light-emitting surface 13A is configured to produce light. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the light-emitting surface 13A of the LED chip 13 faces the first substrate 10, while the electrode surface 13B faces away from the first substrate 10. In other words, the light-emitting surface 13A of the LED chip 13 faces the first adhesive layer 12A and is in contact with it.

[0029] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, following the steps above, the dielectric layer 14 is arranged on the side faces 13C of the LED chip 13. The dielectric layer 14 is in direct contact with the side faces 13C of the LED chip 13, exposing the electrodes 130 and the electrode surface 13B of the LED chip 13. That is, the dielectric layer 14 covers the side faces 13C of the LED chip 13. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 14 surrounds the side faces 13C of the LED chip 13 continuously and without interruption. The dielectric layer 14 can be or may contain epoxy resin, polyimide (PI), polybenzoxazole (PBO), silicone, silicon dioxide, or silicon nitride. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 14 can be an insulating dielectric material.

[0030] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 4, following the steps above, a layer 16 with a distributed Bragg reflector is arranged on the dielectric layer 14, the electrode surface 13B, and the electrodes 130, with a section of the surfaces of the electrodes 130 exposed. In some embodiments, the layer 16 with the distributed Bragg reflector can be structured such that multiple openings are formed in it to expose a section of the surfaces of the electrodes 130. The multiple openings serve to accommodate the conductive components. In some embodiments, the layer 16 with the distributed Bragg reflector contains a stack of thin films of two or more homogeneous or heterogeneous materials with different refractive indices.For example, layer 16 with a distributed Bragg reflector can be formed by alternating layers of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2); by alternating layers of silicon dioxide (SiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and titanium dioxide (TiO2); or by alternating layers of titanium dioxide (TiO2), silicon dioxide (SiO2) and tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5).

[0031] In some embodiments, the layer 16 with distributed Bragg reflector is formed by a deposition process such as evaporation, atomic layer deposition (ALD) or metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), followed by a structuring process.

[0032] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, following the steps above, several conductive components 70 are arranged on the distributed Bragg reflector layer 16. The conductive components 70 extend through openings in the distributed Bragg reflector layer 16 and are each connected to the electrodes 130 on the electrode surface 13B. In some embodiments, the conductive components 70 are metal columns. It is worth noting that the use of the conductive components 70 can significantly increase the thickness and volume of the metal layer, thereby effectively enhancing the heat dissipation of the LED chip 13, reducing stress, improving current distribution, providing pressure relief during subsequent chip interconnection processes, and extending the lifetime of the device.

[0033] In some embodiments, the conductive component 70 is formed by electroplating, evaporation, screen printing, vacuum spraying, or the like. In some embodiments, the thickness of the conductive component 70 is in the range of 5 µm to 200 µm. In some embodiments, the conductive component 70 may be or contain a conductive material. For example, the conductive material may be a metal, a metal compound, other suitable conductive materials, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the metal may be copper (Cu), tin (Sn), silver (Ag), gold (Au), nickel (Ni), indium (In), platinum (Pt), titanium (Ti), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), germanium (Ge), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), or an alloy thereof.For example, the metal compound could be tantalum nitride (TaN), titanium nitride (TiN), tungsten silicide (WSi2), indium tin oxide (ITO), or the like. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these.

[0034] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, following the steps above, a filler material structure 40 is arranged on layer 16 with a distributed Bragg reflector, wherein the filler material structure 40 surrounds and encapsulates the conductive component 70.

[0035] In some embodiments, the filler material structure 40 can be or contain polyimide (PI), epoxy resin, silicone, other suitable materials, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the filler material structure 40 can have a light transmittance of less than 10% by incorporating black, finely dispersed particles, such as carbon black, into the filler material structure, causing the filler material structure 40 to appear black.

[0036] In some embodiments, the filler material structure 40 contains several fillers. In some embodiments, the fillers contain silicon dioxide (SiO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2), tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), boron nitride (BN), or zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). In some embodiments, the fillers contain hollow silicon dioxide (SiO2) or solid silicon dioxide (SiO2). In some embodiments, the filler material structure 40 contains two or more types of fillers of different sizes. For example, the filler material structure 40 may contain two, three, four, or five or more different sizes of fillers. In some embodiments, the fillers may be elongated or spherical. In some embodiments, the filler material structure 40 contains two or more types of spherical fillers with different radii.

[0037] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 7, following the steps above, a section of the filler material structure 40 is removed to expose a first surface 70F of the conductive component 70. For example, the filler material structure 40 can be removed by chemical / mechanical polishing, etching, other suitable methods, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the first surface 40F of the filler material structure 40 is coplanar to the first surface 70F of the conductive component 70 after the exposure of the first surface 70F of the conductive component 70.

[0038] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, following the steps above, several conductive contact surfaces 80 are arranged on corresponding conductive components 70 and electrically connected to them. In some embodiments, the upper surface of the conductive contact surface 80 and the first surface 40F of the filler material structure 40 are not coplanar.

[0039] In some embodiments, the conductive contact surface 80 vertically covers the conductive component 70 and a portion of the filler material structure 40. In other words, in a top view, the conductive contact surface 80 overlaps the conductive component 70 and is in direct contact with it, and one end or circumcircle of the conductive contact surface 80 overlaps a portion of the filler material structure 40 and is in direct contact with it. In some embodiments, the area of ​​the conductive contact surface 80 in a top view may be larger than that of the conductive component 70. Accordingly, in a top view, the conductive contact surface 80 may completely overlap the conductive component 70 and be in direct contact with it, and two ends or an entire circumcircle of the conductive contact surface 80 may overlap a portion of the filler material structure 40 and be in direct contact with it.

[0040] In some embodiments, the conductive contact surface 80 can have the same shape. In other embodiments, the conductive contact surface can have different shapes. In some embodiments, the conductive contact surface 80 has a square shape. In some embodiments, the conductive contact surface 80 has a square shape with a triangular notch.

[0041] In some embodiments, the conductive contact surface 80 can be or contain a conductive material. For example, the conductive material can be metal, a metal compound, other suitable conductive materials, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. The metal can be copper (Cu), tin (Sn), platinum (Pt), titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), magnesium (Mg), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), gold (Au), silver (Ag), nickel (Ni), indium (In), chromium (Cr), tungsten (W), zinc (Zn), germanium (Ge), or alloys thereof. In some embodiments, the metal compound can be indium tin oxide (ITO), tantalum nitride (TaN), tungsten silicide (WSi2), titanium nitride (TiN), or the like.

[0042] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 9, following the steps above, a second substrate 20 is first connected to the conductive component 70 and the conductive contact surface 80, followed by turning over the first substrate 10. In some embodiments, a second adhesive layer 12B is arranged on the second substrate 20 to connect the second substrate 20 to the conductive component 70 and the conductive contact surface 80, such that the conductive contact surface 80 faces the second adhesive layer 12B and is in contact with it.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second substrate 20 may be or contain an element from Group IV or a compound from Group IV such as silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC), or diamond (C); a compound from Groups III-V such as gallium nitride (GaN), gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium phosphide (GaP), aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs), aluminum nitride (AlN), or aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN); other suitable materials; or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these. In some embodiments, the second substrate 20 may be or contain sapphire, glass, quartz, ceramic, other suitable materials, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these.In some embodiments, the second substrate 20 may be or may contain polyimide (PI), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), other suitable materials, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these. In some embodiments, the second substrate 20 may be or may contain a flexible substrate, a bendable substrate, a rigid substrate, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these. For example, the second substrate 20 may be a sapphire substrate. In some embodiments, the second substrate 20 may be or may contain a transparent substrate, a translucent substrate, or an opaque substrate. However, the present disclosure is not limited to these.

[0044] In some embodiments, the second adhesive layer may be or contain 12B polyimide (PI), polybenzoxazole (PBO), epoxy resin, transparent silicone, other suitable materials, or a combination thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0045] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 9, the first substrate 10 is removed. For example, depending on the type of first release layer 11, it can be rendered non-adherent by heating, laser treatment, treatment with UV light or the like, thereby removing the first substrate 10 from it.

[0046] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 10, following the steps above, the first adhesive layer 12A and the first release layer 11 on the light-emitting surface 13A of the LED chip 13 and the dielectric layer 14 are removed to expose the light-emitting surface 13A of the LED chip 13. For example, the first adhesive layer 12A and the first release layer 11 can be removed by a removal process such as etching, grinding, or other suitable methods, or a combination thereof.

[0047] With reference to Fig. 10. The upper surface 14T of the dielectric layer 14 can be coplanar with the light-emitting surface 13A after the first adhesive layer 12A and the first release layer 11 have been removed. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the dielectric layer 14 surrounds the side surfaces 13C of the LED chip 13 in a continuous manner. Before the first adhesive layer 12A and the first release layer 11 are removed, the dielectric layer 14 can prevent the LED chip 13 from falling off. Furthermore, after the first adhesive layer 12A and the first release layer 11 are removed, the dielectric layer 14 secures the LED chip 13 in the LED assembly 1.

A greater thickness t1 of the reflective layer 32 can lead to an excessively large volume of the reflective layer 32. In some embodiments, the thickness t1 gradually increases in a second direction D2.In some embodiments, the thickness t1 of the reflective layer 32 is thinner near the dielectric layer 14 and increases towards the upper surface 90T of the wavelength conversion layer 90.
