In the above-mentioned patent document, the submount member and the lead pattern are connected via a conductive member such as a bonding wire. In order to avoid the influence of light distribution due to the shadow caused by the conductive member, such a conductive member is preferably disposed below the light emitting surface. However, in the above-mentioned patent document, for example, the bonding wire is disposed above the light emitting surface, and there is room for improvement in terms of avoiding the influence on the light distribution by the conductive member.

In addition, power supply to the semiconductor light emitting element below the first surface can be easily realized by a simple process of providing a conductive layer so as to extend from the first surface to the second surface.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as embodiments) will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a light emitting module 10 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 1 shows a cross section of the light emitting module 10 taken along the vertical plane when viewed from the side. The light emitting module 10 includes a light emitting unit 12, a support member 14, and a base housing 16.
The light emitting unit 12 includes a semiconductor light emitting element 20, a mounting substrate 22, and a plating layer 24. An LED is employed for each of the semiconductor light emitting elements 20. The LED may be a blue LED, an ultraviolet LED, or an LED that emits light of another color. Each of the semiconductor light emitting elements 20 is formed in a 1 mm square shape. Each of the semiconductor light emitting elements 20 may be formed in a square of another size such as 0.3 mm square, or may be formed in a rectangle other than the square. Further, as the semiconductor light emitting element 20, a semiconductor light emitting element of another element that emits surface light in a substantially point shape such as a laser diode may be employed instead of the LED.
The mounting substrate 22 is formed of a single member of alumina, AlN, or Si. The mounting substrate 22 is formed in a plate shape. The plating layer 24 that is a conductive layer is provided on the surface of the mounting substrate 22 so as to be electrically connected to the semiconductor light emitting device 20 when the semiconductor light emitting device 20 is mounted on the mounting substrate 22. Instead of the plating layer 24, a conductive layer may be formed by evaporating a conductive material on the surface of the upper surface 22a. Further, instead of the plating layer 24, a plate-like member formed of a conductive material may be bent and fixed to the surface of the mounting substrate 22.
A plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 are mounted on the upper surface 22a of the mounting substrate 22 so as to be arranged in a straight line. At this time, each of the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 is mounted on the mounting substrate 22 such that the main optical axis direction, that is, the direction perpendicular to the light emitting surface 20a is the upward direction. In the first embodiment, four semiconductor light emitting elements 20 are mounted on a single mounting substrate 22, but the number of mounting is not limited to four, and one or a plurality other than four may be used. Good. Further, the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 may be mounted on the mounting substrate 22 so as to be distributed in a plane.
Each of the semiconductor light emitting elements 20 is of a so-called flip chip type. Each of the semiconductor light emitting elements 20 is connected to the plating layer 24 via Au bumps (not shown) and mounted on the mounting substrate 22. Each of the semiconductor light emitting elements 20 is not limited to the flip chip type, and for example, a vertical chip type or a face-up type may be employed. In this case, the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is connected to the plating layer 24 of the mounting substrate 22 from above the element by a conductive member such as a conductive wire.
As described above, in the first embodiment, the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is directly mounted on the mounting substrate 22 without using a so-called submount substrate. Thereby, the process of adhering the submount substrate and the mounting substrate can be reduced.
The support member 14 supports the mounting substrate 22. By attaching the mounting substrate 22 to the support member 14 in this manner, for example, the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is attached to a mounting substrate also formed of AlN or the like via a submount substrate formed of AlN or the like, for example. The heat dissipation can be improved. The support member 14 is provided to have a larger area than the mounting substrate 22. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a decrease in heat dissipation while reducing the generally expensive mounting substrate 22.
The support member 14 is fixed to the upper surface 14a with a lower surface 22d, which is the back surface of the upper surface 22a of the mounting substrate 22, in contact therewith, thereby supporting the mounting substrate 22. The support member 14 is formed of a material having relatively high heat dissipation among metals such as copper. Therefore, the support member 14 functions as a heat dissipation member.
In the first embodiment, the support member 14 is formed of a composite material composed of a metal having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than Cu, that is, a linear expansion coefficient, and Cu. Specifically, the support member 14 is formed of a clad material in which Cu and Mo are laminated. Hereinafter, this clad material is referred to as “CMC (Cu / Mo / Cu)”. CMC is formed by diffusion bonding a Cu plate and a Mo plate by hot pressing. Mo has a lower linear expansion coefficient than Cu. By adopting such a clad material as the material of the support member 14, it is possible to make the thermal expansion coefficient, that is, the linear expansion coefficient smaller than that of Cu while achieving a thermal conductivity equivalent to that of Cu. For this reason, the difference of the linear expansion coefficient with the mounting board | substrate 22 can be suppressed, and generation | occurrence | production of the crack to the supporting member 14 or the mounting board | substrate 22 resulting from the thermal stress produced between both the supporting member 14 and the mounting board | substrate 22 Can be suppressed.
The support member 14 is configured by stacking Cu and Mo so that each of the two layers of Mo is sandwiched between the three layers of Cu. Needless to say, the number of Cu and Mo layers in the support member 14 is not limited to this mode.
The material of the support member 14 is not limited to CMC. For example, a Cu-Mo powder composite material may be employed by impregnating Cu into a powdered Mo. Further, a special clad material in which this Cu—Mo powder composite material is sandwiched between Cu plates may be employed. This special clad material is formed by sandwiching a Cu-Mo powder composite material between Cu plates and hot rolling. Further, a clad material in which an Invar metal having a lower linear expansion coefficient than Cu is sandwiched between Cu plates may be employed. Invar metal is an alloy composed of Ni and Fe.
The mounting substrate 22 is bonded to the support member 14 with solder, which is a metal bonding material having a melting point of 450 ° C. or lower. Since such a bonding material has a small difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the mounting substrate 22 and the support member 14, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of cracks due to thermal stress while ensuring high heat dissipation. The mounting substrate 22 may be bonded to the support member 14 with an adhesive made of a material having a thermal conductivity of 3 W / m · K or more. Thereby, long-term reliability can be improved while ensuring heat dissipation performance.
FIG. 2A is a top view of the light emitting unit 12 according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 2B is a front view of the light emitting unit 12 according to the first embodiment. For ease of understanding, the plated layer 24 is shown hatched.
The mounting substrate 22 has a step surface 22b. The step surface 22b is provided below the upper surface 22a and in parallel with the upper surface 22a. The plating layer 24 includes a power feeding part 24a and an element connection part 24b. The power feeding unit 24 a and the element connection unit 24 b are arranged on the surface of the mounting substrate 22 so as to be separated from each other. The power feeding unit 24a passes through the side surface 22c from the upper surface 22a so that power can be fed to the semiconductor light emitting device 20 on the step surface 22b below the upper surface 22a on which the semiconductor light emitting device 20 is mounted on the surface of the mounting substrate 22. It extends to the step surface 22b. As a result, the Au wire 28 can be bonded to the power feeding portion 24a below the upper surface 22a. Two power supply portions 24a are provided, and are arranged to be electrically connected to the two semiconductor light emitting elements 20 arranged at the ends of the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 arranged in parallel.
The element connecting portion 24b is provided on the upper surface 22a so as to be connected in series by connecting the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 mounted on the upper surface 22a. In the first embodiment, since four semiconductor light emitting elements 20 are provided, three element connection portions 24 b are provided, which is the number of intervals between the four semiconductor light emitting elements 20. In this way, it is possible to supply power to all of the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 by supplying current between the two power supply units 24a.
As a method for forming a power supply route to the semiconductor light emitting element 20, there is a method in which an electrode conducting to the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is provided on the upper surface 22a, and a conductive member such as copper is provided on the step surface 22b separately from the electrode on the upper surface 22a. Conceivable. However, in this method, it is necessary to connect the electrode on the upper surface 22a of the mounting substrate 22 and the conductive member on the step surface 22b with a linear conductive member such as an Au wire or a strip-shaped conductive member such as an aluminum ribbon. Therefore, not only is a process for attaching the conductive member necessary, but it is not easy to attach the conductive member so as not to protrude above the light emitting surface 20a.
For this reason, in 1st Embodiment, the electric power feeding part 24a and the element connection part 24b are simultaneously fixed on the surface of the mounting board | substrate 22 by plating process. Thereby, in addition to the step of providing the plated layer 24, a step of bonding an Au wire for connecting the plated layer 24 and another conductive member can be reduced, and the manufacturing process of the light emitting unit 12 can be simplified. can do.
Instead of the stepped surface 22b, the power feeding unit 24a may be provided so as to extend to the other surface below the upper surface 22a of the surface of the mounting substrate 22. In this way, by providing the power feeding portion 24a extending from the upper surface 22a to the lower surface so that power can be supplied to the semiconductor light emitting element 20 on the surface below the upper surface 22a, a conductive member such as an Au wire can be provided. Without being attached, power can be supplied to the semiconductor light emitting element 20 below the upper surface 22a. For this reason, while being able to simplify the manufacturing process of the light emission unit 12, it can avoid that a conductive member influences the light distribution formed by the light which the semiconductor light emitting element 20 emits.
For example, instead of the step surface 22b, an inclined surface inclined downward from the upper surface 22a may be provided. The power feeding unit 24a may be provided so as to extend from the upper surface 22a to the inclined surface. Moreover, it replaces with the level | step difference surface 22b, and the groove part dented below from the upper surface 22a may be provided, and the electric power feeding part 24a may be provided so that it may extend from the upper surface 22a to the bottom part of this groove part. Also by these, the Au wire 28 can be bonded to the power feeding portion 24a below the upper surface 22a.
Returning to FIG. The base housing 16 is made of resin. Of course, the material of the base housing 16 is not limited to resin, and may be formed of other insulating materials. The base housing 16 has an opening 16b, and the side surface 14b of the support member 14 is fitted into the opening 16b, and both are fixed to each other.
The base housing 16 has a step surface 16a provided parallel to the upper surface and below the upper surface. The step surface 16 a of the base housing 16 has substantially the same height as the step surface 22 b of the mounting substrate 22. The step surface 16a and the step surface 22b may have different heights. A thin plate-like conductive member 26 is provided on the step surface 16a. The conductive member 26 is formed of copper, but may be formed of other conductive materials.
The conductive member 26 is disposed away from the plating layer 24. The Au wire 28 as a conductive member is connected to both the plated layer 24 and the conductive member 26 so as to make the plated layer 24 and the conductive member 26 conductive. In this way, it is possible to supply power for light emission from the conductive member 26 to the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 via the Au wire 28 and the plating layer 24.
FIG. 3A is a top view of the light emitting unit 50 according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 3B is a front view of the light emitting unit 50 according to the second embodiment. The structure of the light emitting module according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the light emitting module except that a light emitting unit 50 is provided instead of the light emitting unit 12 and that each semiconductor light emitting element 20 is individually supplied with power. This is the same as the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.
The light emitting unit 50 includes a mounting substrate 52, a plating layer 54, and a plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20. The mounting substrate 52 is formed of a single member of alumina, AlN, or Si. The mounting substrate 52 is formed in a plate shape, and a plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 are mounted on the upper surface 22 a of the mounting substrate 52. The plated layer 54 that is a conductive layer is provided on the surface of the mounting substrate 52 so as to conduct to the semiconductor light emitting device 20 when the semiconductor light emitting device 20 is mounted on the mounting substrate 52.
A plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 are mounted on the mounting substrate 52 in a straight line. Also in the second embodiment, the four semiconductor light emitting elements 20 are mounted on the single mounting substrate 52. However, the number of mounting is not limited to four. Also good. Further, the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 may be mounted on the mounting substrate 52 so as to be distributed in a plane.
The mounting substrate 52 has a step surface 52b. The step surface 52b is provided below the upper surface 52a and in parallel with the upper surface 52a. The plating layer 54 has a plurality of power feeding portions 54a. The power feeding parts 54 a are arranged on the surface of the mounting substrate 52 so as to be separated from each other. Each of the plurality of power supply portions 54a enables individual power supply to the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 on the step surface 52b below the upper surface 52a on which the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is mounted on the surface of the mounting substrate 52. As described above, the step surface 52b extends from the upper surface 52a through the side surface 52c. As a result, it becomes possible to bond the Au wires 28 for supplying power individually to the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 to the power supply portion 54a below the upper surface 52a.
Since two power supply units 54 a supply power to one semiconductor light emitting element 20, the number of the power feeding parts 54 a is twice as many as the number of semiconductor light emitting elements 20. In the second embodiment, since four semiconductor light emitting elements 20 are provided, eight power supply portions 54a are provided.
Two step surfaces 52 b are provided so as to sandwich the semiconductor light emitting element 20. Each of the two step surfaces 52b extends in parallel with the parallel direction of the semiconductor light emitting elements 20. One of the two power supply portions 54a for supplying power to one semiconductor light emitting element 20 is provided on one of the two step surfaces 52b, and the other of the two power supply portions 54a is provided on the other of the two step surfaces 52b. . In the second embodiment, since the four semiconductor light emitting elements 20 are mounted on the upper surface 52a of the mounting substrate 52, the four power feeding portions 54a extend from the upper surface 52a of the mounting substrate 52 to one step surface 52b, and the other Four power feeding portions 54a extend from the upper surface 52a of the mounting substrate 52 to the other step surface 52b.
Each of the plurality of power feeding portions 54a is simultaneously fixed on the surface of the mounting substrate 52 by plating. At this time, since the arrangement intervals of the semiconductor light emitting elements 20 are close, in order to increase the area of each of the power supply portions 54a on the stepped surface 52b, it is necessary to make the interval between the adjacent power supply portions 54a minute.
For this reason, in the second embodiment, in the plating process, the four power supply portions 54a to be formed on one step surface 52b are first formed as plating connected to each other on the step surface 52b. After the end of the plating process, the plating that forms the gap between adjacent power supply portions 54a is removed by laser processing to separate the four power supply portions 54a from each other. Note that the four power supply portions 54a may be separated from each other by dicing instead of laser processing.
As described above, the lower surface of the mounting substrate 52 below the upper surface 52a on which the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is mounted can be individually fed to each of the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 from the upper surface 52a. By providing a plurality of power supply portions extending on the surface, power can be supplied to the semiconductor light emitting element 20 below the upper surface 52a without attaching a conductive member such as an Au wire. For this reason, while being able to simplify the manufacturing process of the light emission unit 12, it can avoid that a conductive member influences the light distribution formed by the light which the semiconductor light emitting element 20 emits.
Instead of the stepped surface 52b, each of the plurality of power feeding portions 54a may be provided so as to extend to the other surface below the upper surface 52a of the surface of the mounting substrate 52. In this way, by providing the plurality of power feeding portions 54a extending from the upper surface 52a to the lower surface so as to enable individual power feeding to each of the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 on the surface below the upper surface 52a. In addition, it is possible to individually supply power to the plurality of semiconductor light emitting elements 20 below the upper surface 52a without attaching a conductive member such as an Au wire.
For example, instead of the step surface 52b, an inclined surface inclined downward from the upper surface 52a may be provided. The power feeding unit 54a may be provided so as to extend from the upper surface 52a to the inclined surface. Further, instead of the stepped surface 52b, a groove portion recessed downward from the upper surface 52a may be provided, and the power feeding portion 54a may be provided so as to extend from the upper surface 52a to the bottom portion of the groove portion. Also by these, it becomes possible to bond the Au wire 28 to the power feeding portion 54a below the upper surface 52a.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a light emitting module 80 according to the third embodiment. Hereinafter, the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
The light emitting module 80 includes a light emitting unit 12, a support member 82, and a base housing 84. The support member 82 is formed such that the lower surface 82b facing away from the upper surface 82a that contacts the mounting substrate 22 has a larger area than the upper surface 82a.
Specifically, the support member 82 is provided with an enlarged portion 82d that protrudes outward from the side surface 82c in the vicinity of the upper surface 82a in the vicinity of the lower surface 82b. Thereby, the area of the lower surface 82b is larger than the area of the upper surface 82a. For this reason, the base housing 84 is provided with a recess 84b for accommodating the enlarged portion 82d. Except for this point, the base housing 84 is formed in the same manner as the base housing 16 described above. Therefore, the base housing 84 has a step surface 84a provided parallel to the upper surface and below the upper surface, and the conductive member 26 is provided on the step surface 84a. Thus, by increasing the area of the lower surface 82b, it becomes possible to release more heat from the lower surface 82b.
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a light emitting module 100 according to the fourth embodiment. Hereinafter, the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
The light emitting module 100 is configured in the same manner as the light emitting module 80 according to the third embodiment except that a sealing member 102 is provided in a groove formed by the light emitting unit 12, the support member 82, and the base housing 84.
The sealing member 102 is obtained by filling a groove with a resin material and solidifying it, and seals the entire Au wire 28 in the groove from the outside air. As a result, the Au wire 28 can be protected from an external impact to increase the connection reliability of the Au wire 28 and the influence of the Au wire 28 on the light distribution can be suppressed. The sealing member 102 may seal a part of the Au wire 28 such as a bonding portion from the outside air.
In the fourth embodiment, the sealing member 102 is filled in the groove so as to be positioned below the upper surface of the plating layer 24 on which the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is mounted. The sealing member 102 may be filled in the groove so as to be positioned below the light emitting surface 20 a of the semiconductor light emitting element 20. The sealing member 102 may be filled in the groove so as to be positioned below the upper surface 22 a of the mounting substrate 22.
Instead of the sealing member 102, a cover may be provided. The cover may be disposed above the Au wire 28 so that the Au wire 28 is positioned below the light emitting surface 20a. Further, the cover may be disposed above the Au wire 28 so that the Au wire 28 is positioned below the upper surface 22 a of the mounting substrate 22. At this time, the cover is formed between the light emitting unit 12 and the base housing 84 and may be provided between the light emitting unit 12 and the base housing 84 so as to seal the groove portion in which the Au wire 28 is accommodated from the outside air. Good. Therefore, this cover also functions as a sealing means. By providing the cover in this way, the connection reliability of the Au wire 28 can be improved and the influence of the Au wire 28 on the light distribution can be suppressed.
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and an appropriate combination of the elements of each embodiment is also effective as an embodiment of the present invention. Various modifications such as design changes can be added to each embodiment based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art, and embodiments to which such modifications are added can also be included in the scope of the present invention. Such an example is given below.
In a modification, the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is mounted on the upper surface of a plate-shaped submount substrate, and the lower surface of the submount substrate is fixed to the upper surface of the plate-shaped mounting substrate with solder or the like to form a substrate unit. For this reason, the submount substrate also functions as a mounting substrate on which the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is mounted. The material of each of the submount substrate and the mounting substrate may be the same material as the mounting substrate 22 described above.
The submount substrate has a smaller area than the mounting substrate. For this reason, when the submount substrate is fixed to the mounting substrate, a step surface is provided on the surface of the mounting substrate that is not covered by the submount substrate.
Also in this case, a conductive layer is provided on the surface of the submount substrate so as to be electrically connected to the semiconductor light emitting element 20 mounted on the submount substrate. Also in this modified example, the conductive layer is formed from the top surface of the submount substrate on which the semiconductor light emitting element 20 is mounted, so that power can be supplied from the stepped surface of the mounting substrate to the semiconductor light emitting element 20. A power supply portion extending to the step surface is included.
