Benefits of technology

This configuration allows for a smaller form factor, reduced material usage, and improved light focusing efficiency while maintaining light distribution quality and productivity.

Problems solved by technology

Especially, semiconductor light emitting devices are compact and require low electric power.
Also, reducing a space for wire bonding should be avoided because it increases bonding defects, lowers a yield ratio, and diminishes productivity due to an effort to improve accuracy.

first embodiment

[0067]The inventors of the present application focused attention on a point that corners of a space for wire bonding on conventional rectangular substrates do not function efficiently as a pad for wire bonding, in spite that the corners are one of the factors that affect a minimum size of cup-like reflection members and lenses. This embodiment provides a semiconductor light emitting device in which corners of a space for wire bonding are improved in shape. The semiconductor light emitting device of the present invention can be set in a smaller space than conventional ones without sacrificing light distribution characteristic and productivity. Also, the semiconductor light emitting device of the present invention enables to reduce the amount of materials and to improve light focusing efficiency.

[0068]FIG. 1 shows an appearance of a lighting device 10 that comprises a number of light emitting modules respectively including semiconductor light emitting devices of the first embodiment.

modification example 1

[0112]The modification example 1 of the present invention shows a modification of a shape of the pad area described in the first embodiment.

[0113]The shape of the pad area is not limited to isosceles trapezoidal described in the first embodiment. The pad area can be other trapezoids, isosceles triangles, other triangles, circular arcs, and half regular polygons.

[0114]FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B show semiconductor light emitting devices whose pad areas are trapezoids viewed at a point where the light is received therefrom. In a semiconductor light emitting device 300 shown in FIG. 8A, the mount area has an extended long side. In a semiconductor light emitting device 310 shown in FIG. 8B, the mount area has a not-remarkably-extended long side.

[0115]In the semiconductor light emitting devices 300 and 310, the long base of the isosceles trapezoid coincides with a short side of the mount area.

modification example 2

[0127]The modification example 2 shows one example of arrangement patterns unique to the present invention in a case where the pad area is a triangle.

[0128]FIG. 12 shows one example of arrangement patterns unique to the present invention.

[0129]In FIG. 12, shaded parts indicate the submount substrates whose pad areas are triangles, and each broken line indicates positions to be cut by dicing. When cutting off a shaded part 400 at the upper left, for example, it is preferable to cut it along the broken lines in the ascending order of the reference numbers, from 401 to 405, because chipping can be prevented by cutting the longer sides first.

[0130]Also, in FIG. 12, it is possible to make the pad area trapezoidal by cutting along the broken line 406 with a thick blade.

[0131]FIG. 13 is one example of the sheets of the submount substrates on which all of the semiconductor light emitting elements are connected by bump connecting.

[0132]In FIG. 13, the semiconductor light emitting elements ar...

Abstract

A semiconductor light emitting device comprises an element that emits light and a substrate on a main surface of which the element is mounted. The main surface of the substrate composed of two areas, (i) a mount area which is rectangle and on which the element is mounted, and (ii) a pad area that is equipped with a pad for wire bonding. The pad area is contiguous to the mount area on one side of the mount area, and the pad area decreases in width continuously or stepwise in a direction away from the one side.
