Patent ID: 10991861

Abstract:
Flip chip LEDs incorporate multi-layer reflectors and light transmissive substrates patterned along an internal surface adjacent to semiconductor layers. A multi-layer reflector may include a metal layer and a dielectric layer containing conductive vias. Portions of a multi-layer reflector may wrap around a LED mesa including an active region, while being covered with passivation material. A substrate patterned along an internal surface together with a multi-layer reflector enables reduction of optical losses. A light transmissive fillet material proximate to edge emitting surfaces of an emitter chip may enable adequate coverage with lumiphoric material. An emitter chip may be elevated with increased thickness of solder material and/or contacts, and may reduce luminous flux loss when reflective materials are present on a submount. Methods for coating emitter chips with lumiphoric material include one or more of angled spray coating, fillet formation prior to spray coating, stencil island coating, and releasable tape coating.
