Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This disclosure discloses a light-emitting device. The light-emitting device includes a light-emitting diode, a pad electrically connected to the active layer, a metal bump formed on the pad, and a reflective insulation layer. The metal bump has a first side surface and a first bottom surface, wherein the first bottom surface comprises a curved boundary, a longer axis, and a shorter axis. The reflective insulation layer is directly contacting the first side surface, and exposing the first bottom surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A light-emitting device comprising: a light-emitting diode comprising: an active layer; and a pad electrically connected to the active layer; a metal bump, formed under the pad in a cross-sectional view, and having a first side surface and a first bottom surface which is observed in a bottom view different from the cross-sectional view; a reflective insulation layer enclosing the metal bump in a configuration of exposing the first bottom surface and directly contacting the first side surface; and a plurality of scratched lines directly formed on the first bottom surface, wherein the metal bump has an oval shape in the bottom view, and wherein the reflective insulation layer has a bottommost surface which is flush or coplanar with the metal bump. 2. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first side surface comprises a curved portion. 3. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a wavelength conversion layer formed on the reflective insulation layer and the light-emitting diode. 4. The light-emitting device of claim 3 , wherein the wavelength conversion layer has a sidewall which is substantially coplanar with the reflective insulation layer. 5. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the metal bump includes a lead-free solder. 6. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the pad comprises an area and the metal bump comprises a projection area projected to the area, and the projection area is smaller than the area. 7. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a top surface opposite to the first bottom surface and a plurality of scratched lines formed on the top surface. 8. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a wavelength conversion layer, wherein the light-emitting diode further comprises an insulation layer formed on the active layer and having a side surface covered by the wavelength conversion layer. 9. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective insulation layer has a second bottom surface substantially coplanar with the first bottom surface. 10. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a wavelength conversion layer, wherein the light-emitting diode further comprises a semiconductor layer with a second side surface covered by the wavelength conversion layer. 11. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting diode further comprises an insulation layer on which the reflective insulation layer is formed. 12. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising a wavelength conversion layer covering the light-emitting diode and having a side wall covered by the reflective insulation layer. 13. The light-emitting device of claim 12 , wherein the wavelength conversion layer and the reflective insulation layer have top surfaces substantially coplanar with each other. 14. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective insulation layer comprises reflective particles. 15. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of scratched lines is extended on the reflective insulation layer and the metal bump.
