BACKGROUND
1. Field
This embodiment relates to a light emitting device.
2. Background
With the developments of both a thin film growth technology and a component material, a light emitting device including a laser diode or a light emitting diode formed by using group III to V or group II to VI compound semiconductor materials of a semiconductor is able to create a variety of colors, for example, red, green, blue lights, an ultraviolet ray and the like. The light emitting device is also able to create high efficient white light by use of a fluorescent material or by a combination of the colors. Compared with a conventional light source such as a fluorescent lamp, an incandescent lamp and the like, the light emitting device has low power consumption, a semi-permanent span of life, a rapid response speed, safeness and an environment-friendliness.
Accordingly, the light emitting device or the light emitting diode is being increasingly applied to a transmission module of an optical communication means, a light emitting diode backlight replacing a cold cathode fluorescence lamp (CCFL) constituting the backlight of a liquid crystal display (LCD), a white light emitting diode lighting device replacing the fluorescent lamp or the incandescent bulb, a headlight of an automobile and a traffic light.
Regarding a light emitting package including a UV LED mounted on a metal substrate, ultraviolet reflected light reaches an insulation layer on the metal substrate, and thus, an organic material included in the insulation layer is discolored or deteriorated. As a result, light output of the light emitting device maybe degraded and reliability is reduced.

A light emitting device 100 according to the first embodiment may include, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a substrate 110, a body 140 which is disposed on the substrate 110 and has a through-hole 140a formed therein, at least one light emitting chip 170 which is disposed within a cavity 150 formed by the substrate 110 and the through-hole 140a, a cap 180 which is disposed on the body 140 and has a through-hole 180a formed therein, and a transparent window 190 which is disposed within the through-hole 180a of the cap 180. The substrate 110 may also include a through-hole 110a and a heat radiation block 120 disposed within the through-hole 110a. In this case, the substrate 110 may be divided into a ceramic-made body and the heat radiation block 120 inserted into the through-hole 110a. The light emitting chip 170 may be more attached and fixed to a sub-mount 160, and disposed on the substrate 110. When the heat radiation block 120 is disposed within the through-hole 110a formed in the substrate 110, the sub-mount 160 may be disposed on the heat radiation block 120.
Here, the through-hole 140a, the through-hole 180a and the through-hole 110a may be designated as a first hole, a second hole and a third hole respectively in order that they are distinguished from each other.
The substrate 110 may be a single-layered substrate or a multi-layered ceramic substrate. When the substrate 110 is the single-layered substrate, the substrate 110 can be formed by using a high temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) technology. Here, the high temperature co-fired ceramic may be formed by co-firing ceramic sheets at a high temperature higher than 1,200° C.
When the substrate 110 is the multi-layered ceramic substrate, the substrate 110 may be composed of, for example, the high temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) or a low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC).
The thicknesses of the layers of the multi-layered ceramic substrate may be the same as each other or may be different from each other. There is no limit to the thickness.
As mention above, since the substrate 110 includes a ceramic substrate, hereafter, the substrate 110 is denoted by a ceramic substrate.
The ceramic substrate 110 may have a thermal conductivity less than that of a metallic material. Therefore, for the purpose of compensating for thermal characteristics, the metal slug-made heat radiation block 120 may be co-fired or is heat-treated in an AgCu bonding process, and then is coupled to or inserted into the ceramic substrate 110.
A zener-diode may be mounted on a position of the ceramic substrate 110 or the body 140, which is separated from the space where the light emitting chip 170 is located.
As shown in FIG. 4, the through-hole 110a of the ceramic substrate 110 may be stepped, so that a contact area with the heat radiation block 120 is increased, and thus, heat radiation effect is improved.
The ceramic substrate 110 may be formed of a nitride insulating material or an oxide insulating material. For example, the ceramic substrate 110 may include SiO2, SixOy, Si3Ny, SiOxNy, Al2O3, or AlN. When the ceramic substrate 110 includes AlN, the ceramic substrate 110 may not include the heat radiation block 120.
Conductive patterns 142 and 143 may be disposed on the upper surface of the ceramic substrate 110. And conductive patterns may be disposed on the lower surface of the ceramic substrate 110. The ceramic substrate 110 may have a via hole 132 disposed on one side thereof. The conductive patterns disposed on the upper surface and lower surface of the ceramic substrate 110 may be electrically connected to each other through the via hole 132. Although the via hole 132 is not shown in the following drawings, the via hole 132 may be not nonexistent. The via hole 132 may or may not be represented in the direction of the section.
The heat radiation block 120 may function to radiate heat generated from the light emitting chip 170. Therefore, the heat radiation block 120 may include metals having excellent thermal conductivity. For instance, the heat radiation block 120 may include at least one of Mo, W, Au, Ag, a Cu single metal and an alloy including Cu, for example, CuW and CuMo.
The heat generated from the light emitting chip 170 may radiate outwardly through the heat radiation block 120 having excellent thermal conductivity, so that the thermal characteristics and the reliability of the light emitting device 100 may be improved. The heat radiation block 120 may be co-fired or is heat-treated in an AgCu bonding process, and then is coupled to or inserted into the through-hole 110a of the ceramic substrate 110.
Considering the thermal expansion coefficients of the ceramic substrate 110 and the heat radiation block 120, for example, in the formation of the ceramic substrate 110 through use of the HTCC technology, the heat radiation block 120 including CuW may be inserted into the substrate 110, so that the ceramic substrate 110 may be stable to the heat. In the formation of the ceramic substrate 110 through use of the LTCC technology, the heat radiation block 120 including Ag may be inserted into the substrate 110, so that the ceramic substrate 110 may become thermally resistant.
The constituent materials of the ceramic substrate 110 and the heat radiation block 120 may be different from each other, and thus, the thermal expansion coefficients of the ceramic substrate 110 and the heat radiation block 120 are also different from each other. Therefore, the heat radiation block 120 may be inserted into the ceramic substrate 110, and then may be co-fired, or the heat radiation block 120 is expanded by the heat generated from the light emitting chip 170 during the use of the light emitting device. As a result, the top surface of the heat radiation block 120 on which the light emitting chip 170 is mounted may convexly project.
When the top surface of the heat radiation block 120 projects convexly, poor contact may occur between the heat radiation block 120 and the light emitting chip 170, so that the reliability may be reduced. Therefore, a first projection prevention layer 130 may be located between the light emitting chip 170 and the heat radiation block 120, thereby preventing the top surface of the heat radiation block 120 from projecting toward the light emitting chip 170.
The first projection prevention layer 130 may be disposed on the ceramic substrate 110 and on the heat radiation block 120 or may form a portion of the ceramic substrate 110 by being integrally formed with the ceramic substrate 110. A second projection prevention layer 131 may be disposed under the ceramic substrate 110 and the heat radiation block 120 because the bottom surface of the heat radiation block 120 as well as the top surface of the heat radiation block 120 may convexly project.
The body 140 having the cavity 150 formed therein may be disposed on the first projection prevention layer 130. The inner side wall of the body 140 may be inclined or not. The inner side wall of the body 140 may be formed in the form of stairs or may be vertically formed. The inclined side wall of the body 140 may cause the light generated from the light emitting chip 170 to be reflected from the side wall formed by the through-hole 140a and to travel toward the open cavity 150. Thus, light-extraction efficiency of the light emitting device 100 can be enhanced.
The through-hole 140a which may be formed in the form of stairs or formed vertically can be mechanically implemented by a drilling process or can be implemented by stacking and firing a plurality of ceramic layers having mutually different lengths when the body 140 is comprised of a multi-layer ceramic substrate. However, the method for implementing the through-hole 140 is not limited to this.
Also, a reflective layer may be coated on at least a portion of the side wall formed by the through-hole 140a of the body 140 and/or on at least a portion of the bottom surface of the body 140. The ceramic material constituting the body 140 may allow the cavity 150 to be easily formed in the process and is resistant to the heat.
When the sub-mount 160 is disposed on the first projection prevention layer 130, it may be possible more effectively to prevent the heat radiation block 120 from becoming convex than to prevent the heat radiation block 120 from becoming convex only by using the first projection prevention layer 130. The sub-mount 160 may be a conductive substrate or an insulating substrate. For example, the sub-mount 160 may include materials such as Si, SiC, AlN or the like, considering thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient.
A conductive pattern (not shown) may be formed on the sub-mount 160. The light emitting chip 170 may be electrically connected to the conductive pattern. For instance, the light emitting chip 170 can be fixed through Au paste boding or Au—Sn eutectic boding. Here, the bonding may be performed by heating the Au paste at a temperature lower than 280° C. in order to prevent the light emitting chip 170 from being damaged by the heat.
Since the heat generated from the light emitting chip 170 may radiate outwardly through the sub-mount 160 and the heat radiation block 120, the sub-mount 160 may be formed of a material having excellent thermal conductivity.
Since the sub-mount 160 may be disposed on the heat radiation block 120, the heat generated from the light emitting chip 170 may radiate outwardly through the heat radiation block 120 having excellent thermal conductivity instead of the ceramic substrate 110 having relatively less thermal conductivity than that of the heat radiation block 120. As a result, the reliability of the light emitting device 100 can be improved.
In a case where the light emitting chip 170 may be directly mounted on the heat radiation block 120, when the top surface of the heat radiation block 120, on which the light emitting chip 170 is mounted, is not flat, the light emitting chip 170 comes off the heat radiation block 120 or is unstably bonded, so that heat radiation performance may be degraded. This problem can be minimized by disposing the light emitting chip 170 on the sub-mount 160 or directly on the first projection prevention layer 130 without the sub-mount 160.
The heat radiation block 120 may function to radiate outwardly the heat generated from the light emitting chip 170 and may maintain the reliability of the light emitting device 100. Therefore, the heat radiation block 120 and the light emitting chip 170 may be disposed perpendicular to and overlapped with each other.
The light emitting chip 170 may include a light emitting diode (LED) formed by using a plurality of compound semiconductor layers, for example, a group III to V semiconductor layer. The LED may be a colored LED emitting blue, green or red light, etc., or may be a UV LED. The light emitted from the LED can be created by using a variety of semiconductors. The method for creating the light emitted from the LED is not limited to this.
In particular, the ceramic substrate 110 and the body 140 may be composed of an inorganic ceramic. Therefore, even when a light emitting chip including a deep UV LED having a wavelength of about 200 nm to 300 nm or a near UV LED having a wavelength of about 300 nm to 400 nm is used, it is not expected that the upper body and lower body are discolored or deteriorated by UV light emitted from the light emitting chip. Accordingly, reliability of the light emitting device can be maintained.
The light emitting chip 170 may be bonded in a flip-chip manner or may be fixed on the ceramic substrate 110 by Au paste using bonding or by Au—Sn eutectic bonding. Here, for the purpose of preventing the light emitting chip 170 from being damaged by heat, the bonding may be performed by heating the Au paste at a temperature lower than 280° C.
Continuously, the cap 180 having the through-hole 180a in which the transparent window 190 has been disposed may be disposed on the body 140. The through-hole 180a of the cap 180 may have a level difference surface. Here, in the level difference surface of the through-hole 180a as shown in FIG. 4, an upper diameter of the through-hole 180a may be formed to be larger than a lower diameter of the through-hole 180a. A level difference is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the transparent window 190 in such a manner as to face the level difference surface of the through-hole 180a and is disposed within the through-hole 180a of the cap 180.
The through-hole 180a may have a circular shape. Here, the shape of the through-hole 180a is not limited to the circular shape. For example, the through-hole 180a may have a quadrangular shape. More specifically, the through-hole 180a may have a square shape or a rectangular shape. Also, the through-hole 180a may have a polygonal shape as well as the circular and quadrangular shapes. The transparent window 190 may have a shape corresponding to the various shapes of the through-hole 180a. 
A level difference surface 180b may be formed on the lower portion of the cap 180. In other words, the lower portion of the cap is divided into a first surface and a second surface more projecting downwardly than the first surface. At least a portion of the first surface may be attached and fixed to the body. Through this, when the cap 180 is coupled to a top surface 140b of the body 140, a portion of the lower portion having the level difference surface 180b is inserted within the cavity 150.
The cap 180 and the body 140 may be coupled to each other by a sealing process through Au—Sn eutectic boding in vacuum or nitrogen N2 gas. The eutectic bonding may be performed by heating an adhesive material like AuSn at a temperature higher than 280° C. Since a ceramic material has brittleness and tends to be broken by pressure, the cap 180 and the body 140 can be attached and fixed to each other by using the eutectic bonding instead of welding. The cap 180 having the aforesaid configuration may be formed by using one of metallic materials including Kovar.
The transparent window 190 may be made of a transparent material and a non-reflective coating film in order to transmit light generated from the light emitting chip 170 to the outside without absorbing the light. For example, the transparent window 190 may be made of any one of SiO2 (Quartz, UV Fused Silica), Al2O3 (Sapphire), LiF, MgF2, CaF2, low iron transparent glass and glass including B2O3.
When the light emitting chip 170 is a UV LED, the transparent window 190 functions to prevent ultraviolet ray emitted from the light emitting chip 170 from destroying or deteriorating external organic matters of the light emitting device 100. Also, a side of the transparent window 190, which contacts with the level difference surface 180b, has a shape corresponding to the shape of the level difference surface 180b. Through this, when the cap 180 is coupled to the top surface 140b of the body 140, a portion of the lower portion having the level difference surface 180b is inserted within the cavity 150, so that a portion of the lower portion of the transparent window 190 is also inserted within the cavity 150. As a result, a gap between the light emitting chip 170 and the lower portion of the transparent window 190 can be reduced. In this case, light can be more easily emitted.
A space between the transparent window 190 and the cavity 150 may be in a vacuum state or be filled with N2 gas or forming gas. Also, in the light emitting device 100, a thermal pad (not shown) may be disposed under the ceramic substrate 110 and the lower portion of the heat radiation block 120.
Since the heat generated by the light emitting chip 170 passes through the sub-mount 160 and the heat radiation block 120 and then is radiated outwardly through the thermal pad, the thermal pad may have an excellent thermal conductivity. For example, the thermal pad may be comprised of a metallic material including any one of Ag, Au and Cu.
Additionally, a thermal sheet (not shown) may be disposed between the thermal pad and the ceramic substrate 110, and between the thermal pad and the heat radiation block 120. The thermal sheet has excellent thermal conductivity, electrical insulation and flame resistance and causes the heat generating portion and the thermal pad to contact with each other, thereby maximizing a heat transfer effect.
Moreover, the light emitting device 100 may further include a molding part (not shown) which is formed within the cavity 150 in such a manner as to surround the light emitting chip 170. Here, the molding part may include at least one of Si resin which has a high or low refractive index and is mixed with a fluorescent material and hybrid resin.
Also, while the ceramic substrate 110 and the inner side wall of the body 140 are shown in one unit respectively, there may be no limit to this and each of them may be formed by stacking a plurality of layers. When each of the ceramic substrate 110 and the inner side wall of the body 140 are formed by stacking a plurality of layers, the surfaces of the through-hole 110a and 140a may be not smooth but uneven.

Configuration Example of a Second Embodiment
FIGS. 8 to 10 are views of a light emitting device according to a second embodiment. FIG. 8 is a cross sectional view showing a configuration of the light emitting device according to the second embodiment. FIGS. 9 and 10 are cross sectional views showing design measures of the light emitting device.
A light emitting device 200 of the second embodiment may include, as shown in FIG. 8, the ceramic substrate 110 having the through-hole 110a formed therein, the heat radiation block 120 disposed within the through-hole 110a, the body 140 which is disposed on the ceramic substrate 110 and has the through-hole 140a, the sub-mount 160 disposed on the heat radiation block 120, at least one light emitting chip 170 which is disposed on the sub-mount 160, a cap 280 which is disposed on the body 140 and has a through-hole 280a formed therein, and a transparent window 290 which is disposed within the through-hole 280a of the cap 280.
In the light emitting device 200, for the purpose of preventing the top surface of the heat radiation block 120 from projecting toward the light emitting chip 170, the first projection prevention layer 130 is disposed between the light emitting chip 170 and the heat radiation block 120, and disposed on the ceramic substrate 110. Also, the second projection prevention layer 131 is disposed under the ceramic substrate 110 and the heat radiation block 120.
The second embodiment of the light emitting device 200 may have the same configuration as that of the first embodiment (FIG. 4) with the exception of the configuration of the cap 280 and the transparent window 290. The through-hole 280a is formed in the center of the cap 280. The transparent window 290 is disposed in the through-hole 280a. 
The through-hole 280a may have a circular shape. Here, the shape of the through-hole 280a is not limited to the circular shape. For example, the through-hole 280a may have a quadrangular shape. More specifically, the through-hole 280a may have a square shape or a rectangular shape. Also, the through-hole 280a may have a polygonal shape as well as the circular and quadrangular shapes. The transparent window 290 may have a shape corresponding to the various shapes of the through-hole 280a. 
The cap 280 may have a level difference surface. Here, as shown in FIG. 8, due to the level difference surface of the cap 280, an upper diameter of the through-hole 280a may be formed to be less than a lower diameter of the through-hole 280a. That is, the level difference surface is formed in the lower portion of the cap 280.
The transparent window 290 may be disposed on the level difference surface of the cap 280. As a result, the transparent window 290 may be formed to have a flat plate shape.
The cap 280 and the body 140 may be coupled to each other by a sealing process through Au—Sn eutectic bonding in vacuum or nitrogen N2 gas. The cap 280 having the aforesaid configuration may be formed by using one of metallic materials including Kovar.
The transparent window 190 may be made of a transparent material and a non-reflective coating film in order to transmit light generated from the light emitting chip 170 to the outside without absorbing the light. For example, the transparent window 190 may be made of any one of SiO2 (Quartz, UV Fused Silica), Al2O3 (Sapphire), LiF, MgF2, CaF2, low iron transparent glass and glass including B2O3.
When the light emitting chip 170 is a UV LED, the transparent window 290 functions to prevent ultraviolet ray emitted from the light emitting chip 170 from destroying or deteriorating external organic matters of the light emitting device 200.
A space between the transparent window 290 and the cavity 150 may be in a vacuum state or be filled with N2 gas or forming gas. Also, in the light emitting device 200, a thermal pad (not shown) may be disposed under the ceramic substrate 110 and the lower portion of the heat radiation block 120.
Since the heat generated by the light emitting chip 170 passes through the sub-mount 160 and the heat radiation block 120 and then is radiated outwardly through the thermal pad, the thermal pad may have an excellent thermal conductivity. For example, the thermal pad may be comprised of a metallic material including any one of Ag, Au and Cu.
Additionally, a thermal sheet (not shown) may be disposed between the thermal pad and the ceramic substrate 110, and between the thermal pad and the heat radiation block 120. The thermal sheet has excellent thermal conductivity, electrical insulation and flame resistance and causes the heat generating portion and the thermal pad to contact with each other, thereby maximizing a heat transfer effect.
Moreover, the light emitting device 200 may further include a molding part (not shown) which is formed within the cavity 150 in such a manner as to surround the light emitting chip 170. Here, the molding part may include at least one of Si resin which has a high or low refractive index and is mixed with a fluorescent material and hybrid resin.

Therefore, the gap between the transparent window and the light emitting chip can be reduced. As a result, optical loss can be minimized and thus the light output can be improved. In addition, process differentiation, high efficiency heat radiation and a long lifespan can be obtained by using the eutectic bonding. Further, a universal design is allowed and the light emitting device can become smaller through a compact design. Also, discoloration and deterioration caused by delamination can be prevented and the structure of the light emitting device can be improved in such a manner as to prevent external moisture or air from permeating the inside of the light emitting device. Besides, manufacturing process and cost can be reduced. Moreover, a mechanical shock generated by performing resistance welding is not caused, so that crack generation is minimally generated inside and outside the device.
In the embodiment, in the light emitting device shown in FIG. 11 or 12, the light emitting chip 170 may be disposed on the first projection prevention layer 130 without using the sub-mount 160.
