[0003] Light emitting devices, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs), which use a Group III-V or Group II-VI compound semiconductor material, may render various colors such as red, green, blue, and ultraviolet by virtue of development of thin film growth technologies and device materials. It may also be possible to produce white light at high efficiency using fluorescent materials or through color mixing.
[0004] In a general light emitting device package, a luminous chip is mounted on a connecting electrode disposed in a body. A bonding member such as solder may be used to mount the luminous chip on the connecting electrode. When requited to have durability, the body may be made of a High Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (HTCC) material.
[0005] Since a bonding process, however, is carried out at high temperature, degradation may be generated at a contact portion between a heat radiating member and solder. It may also be possible to discolor the body in the vicinity of the contact portion due to flux contained in the solder. Bonding force between the light emitting device and the heat radiating member may be decreased due to degradation of the contact portion. Reflectivity may also be reduced by discoloration of the body in the vicinity of the contact portion, thereby deteriorating light extraction efficiency.

[0053] The bonding member 52 is disposed between the light emitting device 40 and the heat radiating member 32, and functions to attach the light emitting device 40 to the heat radiating member 32. The bonding member 52 may be, for example, a solder layer.
[0054] The bonding member fixing layer 110 is disposed to enclose a circumference of the bonding member 52, and thus the bonding member 52 is fixed in place. In the illustrated embodiment, the bonding member fixing layer 110 may be any one of the plural layers 10-1 to 10-7. The bonding member fixing layer 110 may be, for example, the fourth layer 10-4.

The bonding member fixing layer 110 may form the bottom 101 of the cavity 105. The bonding member fixing layer 110, for example, may cover the side surfaces of the bonding member 52 and light emitting device 40. The bonding member fixing layer 110 may be made of the same material as the plural layers 10-1 to 10-7.
[0056] When the heat radiating member 32 has the area greater than that of the light emitting device 40, the bonding member fixing layer 110 may cover the remaining portion except for the heat radiating member 32 at which the light emitting device 40 is placed.
[0057] The bonding member fixing layer 110 may expose the light emitting device 40, the first to fourth connecting electrodes 22, 24, 26, and 28, and the Zener diode 55 to the inner portion of the cavity 105. Each of the light emitting device 40, the first to fourth connecting electrodes 22, 24, 26, and 28, and the Zener diode 55 may be exposed to the inner portion of the cavity 105 through the associated at least one of the through regions X1 to X4.

[0060] The Zener diode 55 serves to protect the light emitting device package 100 against static electricity. The Zener diode 55 may be disposed in at least one layer, for example, 10-5 of the plural layers 10-1 to 10-7, which is placed beneath the light emitting device 40.
[0061] For example, the fourth and fifth layer 10-4 and 10-5 may be formed with a groove 53 exposing the third connecting electrode 26, and the Zener diode 55 may be disposed on the third connecting electrode 26 exposed by the groove 53. That is, the Zener diode 55 may be disposed in the groove 53 formed in the fourth and fifth layer 10-4 and 10-5. The groove 53 may have a depth of 55 um to 450 um.
[0062] Since the Zener diode 55 is disposed in the groove 53 formed in the fourth and fifth layer 10-4 and 10-5 placed under the light emitting device 40, it may be possible to prevent light illuminated by the light emitting device 40 from being absorbed in the Zener diode 55, thereby enhancing light extraction efficiency.
[0063] The first and second wires 62 and 64 electrically connect the light emitting device 40 to the first connecting electrode 22, whereas the third wire 66 electrically connects the Zener diode 55 to the first connecting electrode 22. As described above, the light emitting device 40, the bonding member 52, and the bonding member fixing layer 110 may-be placed in the cavity 105.
[0064] The resin layer 70 encloses the light emitting device 40 placed in the cavity 105, to protect the light emitting device 40 from the outside environment (for example, moisture, etc.). The resin layer 70 may be made of organic matter or inorganic matter. The resin layer 70 may be made of a colorless and transparent polymer resin material, such as epoxy or silicon. The resin layer 70 may contain a phosphor so as to change a wavelength of light emitted from the light emitting device 40.
[0065] The illustrated embodiment may be realized as follows, in order to produce white light. For example, the light emitting device 40 may generate blue, light, and the resin layer 70 may contain a yellow phosphor, a red phosphor, and a green phosphor. Alternatively, the light emitting device 40 may generate blue light, and the resin layer 70 may contain only a yellow phosphor. Alternatively, the light emitting device 40 may generate blue light, and the resin layer 70 may contain a red phosphor and a green phosphor. Alternatively, the light emitting device 40 may generate ultraviolet (UV) light, and the resin layer 70 may contain a yellow phosphor, a red phosphor, and a green phosphor. In this case, the light emitting device 40 may be utilized in an ultraviolet (UV) lamp capable of also being used for sterilization.
[0066] Also, the light emitting device 40 may include a first light emitting device for generation of red light, a second light emitting device for generation of green light, and a third light emitting device for generation of blue light, and the first to third light emitting devices may be disposed in the cavity of the light emitting device package.
[0067] The bonding member fixing layer 110 may cover at least the side surface of the bonding member 52.
[0068] FIG. 5 is an enlarged view illustrating the light emitting device package shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 5, the bonding member fixing layer 110 may have the upper surface higher than the upper surface of the bonding member 52 and lower than the upper surface of the light emitting device 40.
[0069] The bonding member fixing layer 110 may have the thickness D2 greater than the thickness D3 of the bonding member 52 and smaller than the sum D1 of the thickness of the bonding member 52 and the height of the light emitting device 40. For example, the bonding member fixing layer 110 may have the thickness of 5 um to 150 um.
[0070] In accordance with the illustrated embodiment, the bonding member fixing layer 110 is provided to cover the circumferences of the bonding member 52 and light emitting device 40, thereby enabling an enhancement in bonding between the light emitting device 40 and the heat radiating member 32.
