Solution Overview

Problem

The variance in the depth of the cavity where a light emitting chip is mounted in a light emitting package can lead to color temperature binning issues due to variations in etching liquid concentration, etching time, and etching temperature, affecting the uniformity of phosphor distribution.

Innovation Solution

A light emitting package design featuring a package body with a cavity, separate electrodes, dielectric layers, and impurity regions, including zener diodes, where the second body is doped with impurities and directly bonded to the first body, with a phosphorescence layer and resin layer filling the cavity to maintain consistent chromaticity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single-body package structure is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the manufacturing precision of cavity depth varies significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage structureVSAvoidcavity depth
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The package body is divided into two separate bodies (first body and second body) that are bonded together. The cavity is formed in the first body with a controlled depth, while the second body is bonded to the first body. This segmentation allows precise control of the cavity depth in the first body without being affected by variations in the overall package structure, thereby improving manufacturing precision while maintaining reasonable device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If etching parameters are varied, then the productivity of cavity formation is improved, but the manufacturing precision of cavity depth deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveetching speedVSAvoidcavity depth
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The cavity depth is predetermined and controlled during the formation of the first body, before the actual etching process. By pre-establishing the cavity depth in the first body structure, the subsequent etching process can proceed at high speed without compromising the precision of the cavity depth, as the depth control is already built into the structure rather than relying solely on etching parameter control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If phosphors are spread after cavity formation, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but color temperature binning occurs due to depth variance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephosphor applicationVSAvoidcolor temperature uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The cavity depth is predetermined and controlled during the formation of the first body, before phosphor application. By establishing a uniform cavity depth in advance, the subsequent phosphor spreading process can be performed easily without causing color temperature binning, as the uniform cavity provides a consistent base for uniform phosphor distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Manufacturing precision

If a two-body bonded structure is used, then the manufacturing precision of cavity depth is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecavity depthVSAvoidpackage structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The first body containing the precision-controlled cavity and the second body are bonded together to form an integrated package structure. This merging combines the advantages of precise cavity depth control from the first body with the functional requirements of the second body, achieving high manufacturing precision while maintaining a unified package structure that does not excessively increase device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
