Abstract

A method includes mounting a ceramic phosphor ( 102 ) on an acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer ( 108 ) of a dicing tape ( 104 ), dicing the ceramic phosphor ( 102 ) from the dicing tape ( 104 ) into ceramic phosphor plates ( 11 ) 2 , removing the ceramic phosphor plates ( 112 ) from the dicing tape ( 104 ), and attaching the ceramic phosphor plates ( 112 ) on light-emitting device (LED) dies.

Claims (41)

1. A method, comprising:

dispensing a liquid material for an acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer onto a support film or another tacky layer of a dicing tape;

blade coating the liquid material on the support film or the other tacky layer to form the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer;

placing a ceramic phosphor on the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer of a dicing tape;

dicing the ceramic phosphor on the dicing tape into ceramic phosphor plates;

removing the ceramic phosphor plates from the dicing tape; and

attaching the ceramic phosphor plates onto light-emitting device (LED) dies.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer comprises a silicone thermoforming resin free of acrylic and platinum and is free of a metal-containing catalyst comprising platinum, tin, or zinc.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dicing tape is mounted on a tape frame.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer comprises a photo-latent or photo-initiated amine catalyst; and

removing the ceramic phosphor plates comprises photo-developing the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer to lower its adhesive bond to the ceramic phosphor plates.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein attaching the ceramic phosphor plates on LED dies includes applying a high refractive index (HRI) silicone-based glue on the LED dies.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the other tacky layer comprises acrylic.

7. A method, comprising:

dispensing a liquid material for an acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer onto a support film or another tacky layer of a dicing tape;

over-molding the liquid material on the support film or the other tacky layer to form the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer;

placing a ceramic phosphor on the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer of a dicing tape;

dicing the ceramic phosphor on the dicing tape into ceramic phosphor plates;

removing the ceramic phosphor plates from the dicing tape; and

attaching the ceramic phosphor plates onto light-emitting device (LED) dies.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer comprises a photo-latent or photo-initiated amine catalyst; and

removing the ceramic phosphor plates comprises photo-developing the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer to lower its adhesive bond to the ceramic phosphor plates.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer comprises a silicone thermoforming resin free of acrylic and platinum and is free of a metal-containing catalyst comprising platinum, tin, or zinc.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the dicing tape is mounted on a tape frame.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein attaching the ceramic phosphor plates on LED dies includes applying a high refractive index (HRI) silicone-based glue on the LED dies.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the other tacky layer comprises acrylic.

13. A method, comprising:

extruding an acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer onto a support film or another tacky layer of a dicing tape through a roll-to-roll process;

placing a ceramic phosphor on the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer;

dicing the ceramic phosphor on the dicing tape into ceramic phosphor plates;

removing the ceramic phosphor plates from the dicing tape; and

attaching the ceramic phosphor plates onto light-emitting device (LED) dies.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer comprises a silicone thermoforming resin free of acrylic and platinum and is free of a metal-containing catalyst comprising platinum, tin, or zinc.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the dicing tape is mounted on a tape frame.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein:

the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer comprises a photo-latent or photo-initiated amine catalyst; and

removing the ceramic phosphor plates comprises photo-developing the acrylic-free and metal-containing catalyst-free tacky layer to lower its adhesive bond to the ceramic phosphor plates.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein attaching the ceramic phosphor plates on LED dies includes applying a high refractive index (HRI) silicone-based glue on the LED dies.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein the other tacky layer comprises acrylic.
