Description

Light-emitting module and heater block including same

[0001] The present invention relates to a light-emitting module applied to a heater block and a heater block including the same, and more specifically, to a light-emitting module having improved heat dissipation characteristics and maintenance efficiency and a simplified electrode connection structure and a heater block including the same.

[0002] Flat substrates such as semiconductor wafers or glass substrates can undergo heat treatment processes such as silicon thin film crystallization processes, ion implantation processes, and activation processes.

[0003] Recently, a flat substrate heating device using a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) has been developed. A flat substrate heating device using a VCSEL is formed by arranging a VCSEL module containing multiple VCSELs in a flat shape to irradiate a laser beam over a large area.

[0004] A flat substrate heating device using VCSELs has the problem that the number of power lines increases and the wiring becomes complicated because power must be supplied independently to each VCSEL module. In addition, if one VCSEL breaks down, it is difficult to separate the VCSEL module and the power line. In addition, cooling water must be supplied to each VCSEL module, but the power lines create a complex structure.

[0021] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a light-emitting module (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention is a light-emitting module applied to a heater block (200) described in detail below. The light-emitting module (100) can function as a light source or heat source that irradiates light toward a heated object to heat the heated object for heat treatment. The light-emitting module (100) can be a VCSEL module.

[0022] A light emitting module (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a heat dissipation unit (110), a substrate (120), a power distribution unit (130), and a connection electrode (140).

[0023] The heat dissipation unit (110) includes an upper surface (110a), a lower surface (110b), and a side surface (110c), and a first cooling passage (111) is provided therein. That is, the first cooling passage (111) is surrounded by the upper surface (110a), the lower surface (110b), and the side surface (110c) of the heat dissipation unit (110).

[0024] In one embodiment, the heat sink (110) includes a first coolant inlet (112a) and a first coolant outlet (112b) provided on the lower surface (110b) or the side surface (110c). Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 2, coolant flows into the first coolant passage (111) through the first coolant inlet (112a) and the first coolant outlet (112b). Specifically, the coolant flows into the first coolant passage (111) through the first coolant inlet (112a) and flows out from the first coolant passage (111) through the first coolant outlet (112b).

[0025] The heat dissipation unit (110) may be formed of a thermally conductive ceramic material or metal material. This configuration can improve the heat dissipation characteristics of the light-emitting module.

[0026] In one embodiment, the heat dissipation member (110) further includes a cooling protrusion (113) protruding from the inside toward the first cooling passage (111). In FIG. 2, for example, a cooling protrusion (113) protruding from the inside of the upper surface (110a) of the heat dissipation member (110) toward the first cooling passage (111) is presented. The cooling protrusion (113) may protrude from the inside of the lower surface (110b) and / or the side surface (110c) toward the first cooling passage (111) as well as the upper surface (110a). The formation of the cooling protrusion (113) increases the surface area of ​​the heat dissipation member (110) that can come into contact with the cooling water, thereby improving the heat dissipation characteristics of the light emitting module.

[0027] The substrate (120) is placed on the upper surface (110a) of the heat dissipation unit (110). At least a portion of the semiconductor light-emitting element (121) and the upper electrode (122) are provided on the upper portion of the substrate (120).

[0028] The substrate (120) may be formed as a general substrate used for mounting electronic components. The substrate (120) may be, for example, a PCB substrate, a ceramic substrate, etc. The substrate (120) may be divided into a region where a semiconductor light-emitting component (121) is mounted and a region where an upper electrode (122) is mounted.

[0029] In one embodiment, the substrate (120) includes a first unit substrate (120a) and a second unit substrate (120b) arranged adjacently in a predetermined direction. FIG. 1 exemplarily shows a state in which the first unit substrate (120a) and the second unit substrate (120b) are arranged in a hexagonal shape.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, a plurality of unit substrates (120a to 120d) are arranged on top of a heat dissipation unit (110) formed as an integral body.

[0031] Conventionally, a light-emitting module comprising only one unit substrate (120a) of the present invention has been used, resulting in a complex wiring structure for power supply and a structure for fastening to a heat dissipation plate, as described below. The present invention simplifies the wiring structure and fastening structure by proposing a single light-emitting module comprising multiple unit substrates.

[0032] The semiconductor light emitting element (121) and the upper electrode (122) can be electrically connected by a plurality of conductive patterns provided on the substrate (120).

[0033] The semiconductor light-emitting element (121) is a semiconductor element that emits light when electrons provided through an n-type semiconductor layer and holes provided through a p-type semiconductor layer combine in an active layer, and may include a light-emitting diode (LED) or a laser diode (LD). The semiconductor light-emitting element (121) may be, for example, a general VCSEL element that irradiates a laser beam. A plurality of semiconductor light-emitting elements (121) may be arranged in a grid shape in a predetermined direction on the upper surface of the substrate (120).

[0034] The upper electrode (122), in one embodiment, includes an upper electrode head (123) exposed on the upper surface of the substrate (120), as shown in FIG. 3, and an electrode extension (124) extending from the upper electrode head (123) and protruding downward through the upper surface (110a) of the substrate (120) and the heat dissipation portion (110).

[0042] Meanwhile, the connecting electrode (140) may be at least partially surrounded by an insulator. When the connecting electrode (140) penetrates the heat dissipation portion (100), the connecting electrode (140) and the heat dissipation portion (100) may be electrically insulated by the insulator surrounding the connecting electrode (140).

[0043] In one embodiment, the connecting electrode (140) includes a connecting electrode load portion (141) and a connecting electrode end portion (142).

The power expansion connector (150) is connected to the power distribution unit (130) and is configured to supply external power to the power distribution unit (130).

[0049] Meanwhile, the light emitting module (100) of the present invention may further include a first insulating layer (161) disposed between the heat dissipation unit (110) and the power distribution unit (130), and a second insulating layer (162) disposed below the power distribution unit (130).

[0050] Additionally, the light emitting module (100) may further include a light emitting module cover (163) that is arranged at the lower end of the light emitting module (100) and surrounds the power distribution unit (130), the first insulating layer (161), and the second insulating layer (162).

The power expansion connector (150) inserted into the through hole (213) of the cooling plate (210) and extending to the lower portion of the cooling plate (210) can be electrically connected to a power supply unit (not shown).

[0061] This configuration can simplify the structure in which the light-emitting module (100) is fastened to the cooling plate (210). In addition, the power supply structure for supplying external power to the light-emitting module (100) can be simplified.
