Method of fabricating light-emitting diode with a micro-structure lens
View Patent ↗A light emitting diode (LED) with a micro-structure lens includes a LED die and a micro-structure lens. The micro-structure lens includes a convex lens portion, at least one concentric ridge structure surrounding the convex lens portion, and a lower portion below the convex lens portion and the at least one concentric ridge structure. The lower portion is arranged to be disposed over the LED die. A first optical path length from an edge of the LED die to a top center of the microstructure lens is substantially the same as a second optical path length from the edge of the LED die to a side of the micro-structure lens.
1. A method of fabricating a light emitting diode (LED) with a micro-structure lens, comprising:
receiving a light emitting diode (LED) die on a substrate; and
molding the micro-structure lens that has at least one concentric ridge over the LED die,
wherein a first optical path length from an edge of the LED die to a top center of the micro-structure lens is substantially the same as a second optical path length from the edge of the LED die to a side of the micro-structure lens.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a reflective layer on the substrate.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising forming a solder layer on the reflective layer.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising bonding the LED die to the substrate.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising wire bonding the LED die.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a phosphor coating on the LED die.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising etching the micro-structure lens after the molding.
8. A method, comprising:
forming a reflective layer over a substrate;
bonding a light-emitting diode (LED) die to the reflective layer;
coating a phosphor material over the LED die; and
molding a lens over the LED die such that the lens is molded to have a convex lens portion and a plurality of ridges circumferentially surrounding the convex lens portion in a top view, wherein a first optical path length from an edge of the LED die to a top center of the lens is about the same as a second optical path length from an edge of the LED die to a side of the lens, and wherein the convex lens portion has a greater lateral dimension than the LED die.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the molding of the lens comprises molding a curved side surface of the lens and molding pointed or curved peaks for the plurality of ridges, respectively.
