Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 
       [0001]    1. Field of Invention 
         [0002]    The present invention relates to the LED technical field and more particularly to a heat conductive technology for an LED lamp core and the interior of an LED chip. 
         [0003]    2. Description of Related Arts 
         [0004]    The heat dissipating problem is a key technical problem serving as a bottleneck for the wide spreading of the LED illumination. Since an LED chip requires to dissipate heat, it is hard for an LED illuminating lamp to perform like an incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, and etc. with the light bulb being as a standardized component as well as be convenient to assemble, so that the cost is even higher. 
         [0005]    An analysis from a single viewpoint of heat transmission theory suggests that the heat dissipating process of LEDs is not complicated. However, the heat transmission theory, mature heat transmission technology, and other basic knowledge related to heat transmission are not fully acknowledged by the people skilled in the art of LEDs, so that the current LED heat dissipating technology and products are complicated. 
         [0006]    A heat transferring process from an LED node to an air convection heat exchanging surface (radiator) is a heat conduction process. Because an area of an LED chip is relatively small whilst a heat flux density is significantly high, the heat conduction process actually plays a very important role in the whole LED heat dissipating procedure. An effective and simple solution for reducing a heat resistance of the heat conduction process is to employ a high heat conductive material such as copper and aluminum. However, copper and aluminum are both metal conductors. An LED illuminating device, as an electric appliance, should meet the requirement of safe use of the electricity, so that a predetermined insulating effect should be ensured between the LED node and the radiator (metallic exploded components). A typical insulation requirement is to withstand at least a kilovoltage. Insulation and heat conduction are somewhat incompatible. In a current product, an LED wafer is provided on a ceramic insulation substrate so that high voltage withstanding capability and not low thermal conductivity are made use of so as to solve the problem. The ceramic such as Al 2 O 3  ceramic material has a thermal conductivity up to 20W/m·K, but is still 10 times smaller than aluminum and about twenty times smaller than copper. And the heat flux density on the LED wafer is high as 10 6 W/m 2 . When a 0.2 mm Al 2 O 3  insulation substrate is employed, a temperature difference of heat conduction on the insulation substrate amounts to 10° C. 
       SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 
       [0007]    The object of the present invention is focused on in the heat conduction process in the LED heat dissipating process, to solve the heat dissipating problem in the standardization of the lamp core as well as the contradiction between the heat conduction and insulation within the LED chip, so as to provide a technical solution of a simple structure and low cost. 
         [0008]    Additional advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows, and may be realized by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particular point out in the appended claims. 
         [0009]    According to the present invention, the foregoing and other objects and advantages are attained by a LED lamp core mainly consisting of wafers, a heat diffusion plate, and a heat conductive core. The heat produced by the wafers is transferred to the heat conductive core via the heat diffusion plate, and then is transferred from the heat conductive core to the radiator. The present invention has the following characteristics. The heat conductive core is made of aluminum or copper. The heat transferring contact surface (i.e. the heat is transferred outward from the heat conductive core)between the heat conductive core and the radiator employs a taper structure, or screwed-cylinder structure, or taper screwed-cylinder structure. The wafers are soldered and attached on the heat diffusion plate. The area of the heat diffusion plate is five times larger than the area of the wafer/wafers. The thickness of the heat diffusion plate is not less than 0.5 mm. And the heat diffusion plate uses copper, or aluminum, or copper-aluminum composite material. A high voltage insulation layer, the thickness of which is larger than 0.1 mm, is provided between the heat diffusion plate and the heat conductive core. 
         [0010]    The heat conductive core may employ a taper structure. The radiator is correspondingly provided with mating a taper hole, so that when a relatively small pushing and squeezing force is applied, a contact pressing force which is amplified several times is produced between the taper surface of the heat conductive core and the conical hole surface of the radiator and thus the thermal contact resistance is reduced. 
         [0011]    Since the surface area of the screwed-cylinder surface is amplified, the heat transferring contact area is amplified and the thermal contact resistance between the heat conductive core and the radiator is reduced. For example, when a normal 60° triangular screw is introduced, the surface area will be two times of the cylinder surface. The LED lamp core is installed into the radiators (lamp fittings) with a rotation manner, so that no additional tools are required and thus the operation is very convenient. 
         [0012]    The advantages of taper screwed-cylinder structure include that of the taper structure and the screwed-cylinder structure: the heat transferring contact area is amplified, the contact pressing force is amplified and the installation is convenient. 
         [0013]    The heat conductive core of the present invention solves the heat transferring problem between the LED lamp core and the radiators, and the assembling of the LED lamp core is convenient, so that the primary issue for the realization of the LED lamp core standardization is solved. 
         [0014]    The important function of the heat diffusion plate is firstly made definite: heat diffusion function, in the prevent invention, and the name is defined as heat diffusion plate. Due to the small area of the LED wafer such as a wafer of a size of 1×1 mm, even the power is only 1.2 W, the heat flux density amounts to 10 6 W/m 2 , this is very high and thus solving the thermal contact resistance between the wafers and the heat diffusion plate becomes a primary issue, and the electrical insulation therebetween is a secondary issue. When employing a soldering technology, the wafers are soldered and attached on the heat diffusion plate through the soldering process, the heat conduction temperature difference between the wafers and the heat diffusion plate can be effectively reduced. As a heat diffusion plate serving to diffuse heat, not only a material of high conductivity is required, the area and the thickness also should be large enough, so the heat diffusion plate is preferred to use copper and aluminum. And the area of the heat diffusion plate should be five times larger than the area of the wafer/wafers on the heat diffusion plate, and the thickness thereof should be not less than 0.5 mm. In a practical design, the area of the heat diffusion plate should be at least ten times larger than the area of the wafers. If the size of the wafer is 1×1 mm and the power is 1W, the thickness of the heat diffusion plate should be above 1.0 mm. The object and effect for this are to effectively diffuse heat in the heat diffusion plate and reduce the heat flux density between the heat diffusion plate and the heat conductive core. In order to meet the requirement of the insulation for the safe use of electricity, a high voltage insulation layer is provided between the heat diffusion plate and the heat conductive core to solve this problem. 
         [0015]    In the present invention, the high voltage insulation layer is defined as an insulation layer which can withstand above 500V volts D.C. 
         [0016]    The thickness of the high voltage insulation layer provided between the heat diffusion plate and the heat conductive core is larger than 0.1 mm. When a Al 2 O 3  ceramic insulation layer with a thickness of 0.1 mm is introduced, it can withstand one kilovotage volts D.C. This makes the insulation layer provided between the heat diffusion plate and the heat conductive core take responsibility of most or all of the insulation requirement for the safe use of electricity, so that the insulation requirement between the wafers and the heat diffusion plate is reduced or even the insulation therebetween is not considered at all, so as to reduce the heat transferring temperature difference therebetween. 
         [0017]    If tin soldering is used between the wafers and the heat diffusion plate with a thickness of tin therebetween is 20 μm and the heat flux density is 10 6 W/m 2 , the heat transferring temperature difference between the two interfaces is calculated and the result is Δt=0.32° C. Through the heat diffusion plate, if the heat flux density is reduced eight times to be 1.25×10 5 W/m 2 , the high voltage insulation layer between the heat diffusion plate and the heat conductive core employs a Al 2 O 3  ceramic with a thickness of 0.2 mm and a heat conductivity of 20W/m·K, the heat transferring temperature difference at the high voltage insulation layer is calculated and the result is Δt=1.25° C. In other words, the sum of the heat transferring temperature difference between the two interfaces is within 2° C. 
         [0018]    If a Al 2 O 3  ceramic insulation plate with a thickness of 0.2 mm is provided between the wafer and the heat diffusion plate (heat sink) according to a structure of a product of the state of the art, the heat transferring temperature difference of the two sides of the ceramic plate is calculated and the result is Δt=10° C. which is five times larger than the above value. 
         [0019]    It can be seen that the heat transferring temperature difference in the LED lamp core is significantly reduced with the present invention. In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, the advantages of the LED lamp core of the present invention such as convenient for water-proof, mass production, and standardization will be described in details. 
         [0020]    For the LED chip component consisting of wafers and a heat diffusion plate, a detailed structure and manufacturing method is provided from the perspective of reducing heat conduction resistance, bringing down the costs, and facilitating the manufacturing process. 
         [0021]    Firstly, the heat diffusion plate uses aluminum, or copper, or copper-aluminum composite material. The soldering contact area between the wafer and the heat diffusion plate is larger than one third of the area of the wafer. The heat diffusion plate is provided with a high voltage insulation layer, or a low voltage insulation layer. 
         [0022]    Secondly, the pn junction electrode of the wafer is a V type electrode. A flip chip structure is used. The heat diffusion plate uses aluminum, or copper, or copper-aluminum composite material. The wafer is provided with heat conduction solder pad. The soldering contact area between the wafer and the heat diffusion plate is larger than one third of the area of the wafer. The outside of the n-electrode, and the p-electrode or part of the p-electrode of the wafer is covered by a layer of ceramic insulation membrane generated through vapor deposition. The heat conduction solder pad is provided at the outside of the ceramic insulation membrane. 
         [0023]    Thirdly, a wafer locating plate of insulation material is introduced into the LED chip. The wafer locating plate is soldered or adhered and attached on the heat diffusion plate. The wafer is embedded into the wafer locating and embedding opening of the wafer locating plate while the wafer is soldered and attached on the heat diffusion plate. 
         [0024]    Fourth, a manufacturing and packaging method of the LED chip characterized in that: a wafer locating board which is provided with a plurality of wafer locating and embedding openings and at least two retaining holes are introduced. The heat diffusion board is provided with corresponding solder pads and locating holes. The wafers are firstly embedded and fixed on the wafer locating board and are retained in position by the retaining holes, and then together with wafer locating plate are attached to the heat diffusion board and heated to finish the soldering procedure between the wafer and the heat diffusion plate. Alternatively, the wafer locating plate is attached and fixed on the heat diffusion board first, and then the wafers are embedded into the wafer locating and embedding openings, and then heating to finish the soldering procedure between the wafer and the heat diffusion plate. 
         [0025]    Still further objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the ensuing description and drawings. 
         [0026]    These and other objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.

       DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0056]    Referring to  FIG. 1 , a heat conductive core  6  employs a taper structure. The taper column surface (i.e. the exterior heat transferring surface of the heat conductive core) is firmly contacted with central conical hole of a radiator  3 . Heat is transferred from the heat conductive core  6  to the radiator  3  via the contact surfaces, so that the gap between the contact surfaces should be as small as possible. In the taper column and conical hole, a relatively small pushing and squeezing force will result in an above ten times amplified contact pressing force. In  FIG. 1 , a screw  5  is used to apply pulling force so that the heat conductive core  6  is firmly retained in the central conical hole of the radiator  3 . In order to further reduce the thermal contact resistance between the heat conductive core and the radiator, a heat conduction paste such as silicone grease should be coated on the cylinder surface. 
         [0057]    As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , a single heat diffusion plate  2 , a plurality of wafers are provided (soldered) on the heat diffusion plate  2 . The heat diffusion plate  2  is attached to an end surface of the heat conductive core  6  via a high voltage insulation layer  4 . The end surface is called heat absorption surface. Another end opposite to this end, which is provided with screw  5 , is called rear end of the heat conductive core. The surface of the heat diffusion plate which is closely attached to the heat absorption surface of the heat conductive core is called surface B of the heat diffusion plate while another surface which is provided with wafers is called surface A of the heat diffusion plate. 
         [0058]    An anodization process, in which aluminum oxide membrane is grown on the aluminum metal surface of the heat conductive core or the heat diffusion plate to serve as the high voltage insulation layer, the problem of the thermal contact resistance between the high voltage insulation layer and the heat diffusion plate as well as the heat conductive core is solved. The anodization process is of low costs and high efficiency, thus is suitable for mass production. 
         [0059]    In the LED lamp core of  FIG. 2 , the heat conductive core  6  uses a screwed-cylinder structure. A single heat diffusion plate structure is also incorporated. But the wafers  1  are centralizedly provided at the center of the heat diffusion plate  2 , and the surface A of the heat diffusion plate  2  is provided with a low voltage insulation layer  8 , and the wafers  1  are provided (soldered) on the low voltage insulation layer  8 . The insulation layer enables a circuit, and solder pads and electrode leading wires corresponding to the wafers to be provided on the surface A of the heat diffusion plate as well as other auxiliary components (such as Electro-Static Discharge protect component) together with the wafers are provided on the heat diffusion plate. This structure is of high integrality and is convenient for downstream production. 
         [0060]    Since the heat flux density of the wafers is relatively high, reducing the heat conduction resistance of the low voltage insulation layer becomes significantly important. 
         [0061]    The insulating intensity is not so important for it just need to reach the maxim voltage without need to meet the requirement of safe use of electricity. A peak voltage of 220V commercial power is 380V. In other words, the insulating intensity of the low voltage insulation layer  8  can be enough if the maxim intensity reaches 450V, it is defined as low voltage insulation and so called low voltage insulation layer. 
         [0062]    A ceramic membrane prepared through vapor deposition such as diamond, SiC, AlN, BN, BeO, Al2O3, and etc. is advantageous for good insulation and heat conductivity. Especially, Diamond, SiC, AlN, BN and BeO, which are high heat conductive ceramic, not only are suitable to be used as the low voltage insulation layer on the surface A of the heat diffusion plate, but also more suitable to be used as ceramic insulation membrane on the wafers which will be described in detail in the following disclosure. The vapor deposition process includes physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) which are both suitable for manufacturing the low voltage insulation layer of the present invention. 
         [0063]    Aluminum anodization process also can be used to prepare the low voltage insulation layer on the surface A of the heat diffusion plate. Although the heat conductivity of the resulting aluminum oxide membrane is not high as the ceramic membrane prepared by vapor deposition, the costs are relatively low and a thicker membrane is easy to obtain, and the insulating intensity can reach above 100V. When in a design, the thickness of the aluminum oxide membrane of the low voltage insulation layer is smaller than 50 μm so that the heat conduction resistance is controlled. 
         [0064]    Although copper is more expensive than aluminum, few materials of heat diffusion plate need to be used. And more importantly, because the heat flux density of the wafers is very high, so a high heat conductivity material is more important. So copper is preferred for the heat diffusion plate. If an aluminum oxide insulation layer with anodization is required to be formed on the surface of a copper heat diffusion plate, a copper-aluminum composite material can be used. Accordingly, an aluminum layer can be coated on the surface of a copper plate. The thickness of the aluminum layer on the surface A of the heat diffusion plate should be small enough as long as it reaches the required aluminum thickness which is enough for anodization. 
         [0065]      FIG. 3  illustrates an LED lamp core of the present invention, wherein the heat conductive core  6  employs a screwed-cylinder structure, a lamp housing  12  is also equipped. A leading wire  9  penetrates the heat conductive core  6  and is guided out from the rear side of the heat conductive core. As shown in  FIG. 3 , sealing glue  10  is provided on rear side of the heat conductive core at the out guiding position of the leading wire  9 , so that a reliable water-proof of the out guiding position of the leading wire  9  is achieved. The water-proof of the front side of the lamp core may be achieved via the lamp housing  12  as well as potting with sealing glue. 
         [0066]    As shown in  FIG. 3 , each wafer is equipped with a heat diffusion plate to form a structure of multiple LED chips. In addition, the high voltage insulation layers  4  are not only proved on the heat absorption surface of the heat conductive core  6 , but also are provided on the surface B of the heat diffusion plate  2 , so that a single LED chip will have a high voltage insulation characteristic. A PCB board  11  is also illustrated in  FIG. 3 , the LED chips are embedded into the PCB board  11 . The auxiliary circuit of the LED chip can be provided on the PCB board  11  and the leading wire  9  can also be soldered with the circuit on the PCB board  11 . 
         [0067]    In  FIG. 3 , the electrical connection between the lamp core and an external power source can employ the leading wires, but connecting wire terminals, contact spots, or contact discs also be used. The connecting wire terminals, contact spots (contact discs) are provided at the rear side of the heat conductive core. Connecting wires (leading wire  9 ) penetrate the heat conductive core. In other words, the connecting wires are hided within the heat conductive core. The LED lamp core illustrated in  FIG. 4  uses the structure of contact spots. The contact spots  13  on the lamp core contact with the resilient contact terminal  14  fixed on the radiator  3 , the structure is similar to the structure of a current light bulb. 
         [0068]    In order to reduce the heat conduction resistance, the arrangement of LED wafers on the heat diffusion plate, or the LED chip consisting of wafers and heat diffusion plates on the heat conductive core should be dispersedly configured as dispersive as possible. The power of a single wafer should be as small as possible but the numbers of the wafers should be as many as possible.  FIG. 5  illustrates a dispersive configuration of six wafers on a heat diffusion plate.  FIG. 6  illustrates four chips are dispersedly provided on the heat conductive core  6 , each chip is a chip group consisting of three wafers. In the design of the LED lamp core, the numbers of the wafers or the wafer group should be as many as possible and should be not less than three, but a too large number may result in high manufacturing costs. The power of a single wafer should be as small as possible, the maxim power should be not more than 4W. But a too small power of the single wafer also means that the numbers of the wafers should be increased and thus may result in high costs. The wafers or wafer groups (chips) in  FIG. 5  and  FIG. 6  are all radially dispersed. This kind of dispersive configuration is desirable. 
         [0069]    In the LED lamp core illustrated in  FIG. 7 , the heat conductive core has a middle hollow structure and is provided with fin  7 . Such a configuration is designed for an LED lamp core of a high power. Because the higher the power of the LED lamp core, the more the number of the wafers or the chips. In addition, the wafers and the chips should be radially and dispersedly provided, so that the outer diameter of the heat conductive core is extremely large. The central portion is a hollow structure that can be used for installing fins. 
         [0070]    In the LED lamp core illustrated in  FIGS. 3 ,  4 , and  7 , the high voltage insulation layer  4  is provided on the surface B of the heat diffusion plate  2 . If the high voltage insulation layer is formed from oxidation of aluminum anode, a copper-aluminum composite material is preferred for the heat diffusion plate  2 . According to the present invention, the soldering contact area between the wafer and the heat diffusion plate should not be less than one third of the area of the wafer. In addition, the area of the heat diffusion plate should be more than five times (preferably not less than ten times) larger than the area of the wafer while the thickness thereof is not less than 0.5 mm. 
         [0071]    In the LED chip illustrated in  FIG. 8 , the pn junction electrode employs an L contact (Laterial-Contact) which is called L type electrode for short. LED wafer with carbonrundum substrate is suitable for employing this kind of electrode because SiC can form an conductor through doping. The carbonrundum substrate can be used as an n-electrode. The outer surface of the substrate  15  is provided with a heat conduction solder pad  16 , i.e. n-solder pad. A low voltage insulation layer  8 , which can be formed through vapor deposition or aluminum anodization, is provided on the surface B of the heat diffusion plate  2  illustrated in  FIG. 8 . Corresponding heat conduction solder pads (i.e. n leading wire solder pad) and n leading wires are provided on the surface of the low voltage insulation layer  8 , the LED wafer is soldered and attached on the low voltage insulation layer  8 . The LED chip illustrated in  FIG. 9  is similar with the LED chip illustrated in  FIG. 8 , the main difference is that the heat conduction solder pad  16  on the substrate  15  is directly soldered with the metal on the heat diffusion plate  2  and the surface B of the heat diffusion plate  2  is provided with a high voltage insulation layer  4 . 
         [0072]    In the LED chip illustrated in  FIG. 10 , the pn junction electrode employs a V contact (Vertical-Contact) which is called V type electrode for short. And a flip chip structure is used. The LED wafer with sapphire substrate is suitable for this kind of structure. As shown in the Fig, the heat conduction solder pad  16  on the substrate  15  is directly soldered with the metal on the heat diffusion plate  2 . The heat conduction solder pad  16 , which serves as the p solder pad, is communicated with the p-electrode  20 . A ceramic insulation membrane  21  prepared through vapor deposition is provided between the heat conduction solder pad  16  and the p-electrode  20 . The heat diffusion plate  2  severs as a p leading wire. The p pins of the chip can be directly soldered with the heat diffusion plate  2 . The surface B of the heat diffusion plate  2  is provided with a high voltage insulation layer  4 . The surface A of the heat diffusion plate  2  is provided with a n leading wire  18 , a electrode leading wire insulation layer  19  is provided therebetween. The n leading wire  18  is provided with solder pads which can be directly soldered with the n solder pads  17  on the wafers  1 . The soldering contact area between the wafer  1  and the heat diffusion plate  2  comprises the area of the heat conduction solder pad  16  and the area of the n solder pad. If the area of the heat conduction solder pad  16  is large enough, the issue of the heat conduction resistance of the electrode leading wire insulation layer  19  is not so important. As illustrated in  FIGS. 11 and 12 , the n-electrode  22  and part of the p-electrode  20  are covered by the ceramic insulation membrane  21 . The heat conduction solder pad  16  is provided at the outer side of the ceramic insulation membrane  21 . The objective of using such a structure of the ceramic insulation membrane  21  is to increase the area of the heat conduction solder pad (i.e. the soldering contact area between the wafer and the heat diffusion plate) to be as large as possible. 
         [0073]    The LED chip illustrated in  FIG. 13  is similar to the LED chip illustrated in  FIG. 10  with a V type electrode, and a flip chip structure. The difference is that all of the n-electrode  22  and the p-electrode  20  (except the solder pads) are covered by the ceramic insulation membrane  21 , and the heat conduction solder pad  16  is spaced apart from the p solder pad  23  and is spaced apart from the two electrodes, as shown in  FIGS. 14 and 15 . The surface A of the heat diffusion plate  2  is further provided with p leading wire  24  which is separated by the electrode leading wire insulation layer  19 . 
         [0074]    An LED wafer of 1×1 mm is a wafer of large size. Such a small area is provided with electrode solder pads and the heat conduction solder pad, as shown in  FIGS. 11 and 14 , the size of the electrode solder pad is generally as small as having a diameter of 0.1 mm. In addition, inexistence of a shortcircuit soldering should be guaranteed, so that a mating accuracy between the wafer and the heat diffusion plate is really high. An eutectic welding with a few seconds of heating is a typical solution. If the wafers are positioned and mated one by one before heating and soldering, the requirement of the equipments is high and also is expensive, the efficiency is also low. The low efficiency and high costs of the package of the LED chip of a high power are also issues of the current LED industry. 
         [0075]    The present provides a wafer locating plate to solve the above mentioned problem, as shown in  FIGS. 16 and 17 , a plurality of wafer locating and embedding openings are provided in a wafer locating board  25 . A wafer  1  is embedded in the wafer locating and embedding opening. The wafer locating board  25  is further provided with retaining holes  26 . Six retaining holes  26  are illustrated in the drawings. At least two retaining holes  26  should be provided when in a practical design. A punching process, which has a high accuracy, a simple equipment, and high efficiency, is used for forming the retaining holes  26  and the wafer locating and embedding openings. The heat diffusion board  27  is provided with corresponding retaining holes and solder pads with respect to the wafers based on the positions of the retaining holes. The position of the wafer is determined by the wafer locating and embedding opening in the wafer locating board  25 . The mating between the wafer locating board  25  and the heat diffusion board  27  is determined by the retaining holes  26 , so that the mating accuracy between the solder pad on each wafer and corresponding solder pad on the heat diffusion board is ensured. The whole piece is then heated and soldered so as to complete the soldering of a plurality of wafers ( 55  wafers in the drawings) at a time. This process not only has a high efficiency, but also is advantageous for its simple equipments. During heating and soldering, a pressing is required so that the wafer is pressed to be attached on the heat diffusion plate and thus the quality of the soldering is ensured. Since the wafer is embedded into the wafer locating and embedding opening, so that it is easy to guarantee that the wafer will not move during pressing. This step can be carried out with the following two manners. (1), the wafers  1  are firstly embedded and fixed on the wafer locating board  25 , then together with wafer locating board  25  are attached to the heat diffusion board  27  and then heated to finish the soldering procedure between the wafer and the heat diffusion plate. (2), the wafer locating board  25  is retained in position by the retaining holes and then is attached and fixed on the heat diffusion board  27 , and then the wafers  1  are embedded and fixed on the wafer locating board  25 , and then heating to finish the soldering procedure between the wafer and the heat diffusion plate. After the soldering procedure, the wafer locating board  25  can be removed, but also can be remained. Referring to  FIGS. 19 and 20 , the wafer locating board cut and remained in the LED chip is called wafer locating plate. In this respect, the wafer locating plate should be made of insulation material such as polyester membrane plate which can endure a relatively high temperature. 
         [0076]    As illustrated in  FIG. 18 , the above mentioned process is used to manufacturing the LED chip (as shown in  FIG. 5 ) with a structure of a single heat diffusion plate and multiple wafers. A wafer locating board and a heat diffusion board are respectively provided with many wafer locating plates and heat diffusion plates which are connected together and arranged in lines. When the mating soldering and the potting with sealing glue are finished, the connecting portions are cut so that the LED chips are formed one by one. 
         [0077]      FIG. 19  illustrates an LED chip with a wafer locating plate. The wafer locating plate  28  is provided with electrode leading wires and solder pads (or circuit). The wafer in  FIG. 19  uses an L type electrode. The heat conduction solder pad  16  is the n solder pad. The n leading wire  18  penetrates the wafer locating plate  28  and gets out from the top thereof. The wafer locating plate  28  is provided with p leading wire  24 . The p solder pad  23  on the wafer and the solder pad on the p leading wire  24  are connected by conduction wire  29 . 
         [0078]    In the LED chip illustrated in  FIG. 20 , the electrode solder pad (p solder pad  23 ) on the wafer is adjacent to an edge of the wafer (preferably provided at a corner thereof). The solder pad of the electrode leading wire (p leading wire  24 ) on the wafer locating plate  28  is closely adjacent to the corresponding solder pad (p solder pad) on the wafer. The two electrode solder pads are directly soldered and communicated by soldering fluxes  30  (such as tin). 
         [0079]    In the LED chip with a wafer locating plate illustrated in  FIG. 21 , a V type electrode and a flip chip structure are employed. The surface A of the heat diffusion plate  2  is provided with a low voltage insulation layer  8  while the surface B thereof is provided with a high voltage insulation layer  4 . The low voltage insulation layer  8  is provided with an electrode leading wire (n leading wire  18 , p leading wire is not illustrated in the drawings), and heat conduction solder pad (p leading wire solder pad). The LED chip illustrated in  FIG. 22 , which is similar with the LED chip illustrated in  FIG. 21 , also uses a V type electrode and a flip chip structure. The obvious difference is that n solder pad  17  is provided on the side wall of the wafer, the solder pad of the n leading wire  18  on the wafer locating plate  28  is closely adjacent to the corresponding solder pad (n solder pad  17 ) on the side wall of the wafer. The two electrode solder pads are directly soldered and communicated by soldering fluxes  30 . 
         [0080]    In the LED chip illustrated in  FIGS. 23 and 24 , the four corners of the wafer are cut off to form a one-quarter segment of a circle respectively. The n solder pad  17  and p solder pad  23  are provided in the side walls of the four unfilled corners and are arranged with diagonal distribution, the solder pad of the leading wire on the wafer locating plate  28  is closely adjacent to the solder pad on the side wall of the wafer. The two electrode solder pads are directly soldered and communicated by soldering fluxes  30 . The ceramic insulation membrane  21  covers an integral surface of the wafer. The heat conduction solder pad  16  is apart from the two electrodes. The heat diffusion plate  2  is a pure metal board plate. The heat conduction solder pad  16  on the wafer is directly soldered with the metal on the heat diffusion plate  2 . Such a structure is beneficial for increasing the area of the heat conduction solder pad (soldering contact area) as well as reducing the requirement of mating accuracy. 
         [0081]    As illustrated in  FIGS. 11 ,  14  and  24 , the electrode solder pads are all provided at the corners, also can be provided adjacent to the edge of the wafer. But installing at the corners is more beneficial for making use of the wafer area to obtain more illuminating areas. The n and p solder pads illustrated in  FIGS. 14 and 24  are all provided at the corners with diagonal distribution configuration. 
         [0082]    In order to enhance the light extracting rate, a light reflective membrane should be provided on the outer surface of the wafer locating plate for reflecting out the light reflected to the surface of wafer locating plate.
