Light-emitting device and production thereof
First Claim
1. A light-emitting device wherein a semiconductor light-emitting element flip-chip is electrically interconnected to terminals on a substrate, said device comprising:
- a light-emitting element consisting of a gallium nitride semiconductor element; and
a glass layer arranged on the path of the light output by said light-emitting element and containing fluorescent material for receiving said output light and producing converted light converted to a wavelength different from that of said output light;
wherein said emitted light and said converted light are used to produce essentially white light.

Abstract
A PWB (printed wiring board) 101 termed a “chip LED” is used instead of a lead frame. On the substrate is etched a lead 203 buried in the dielectric layer portion. Solder bumps 204 are formed on the PWB. SnPb, In, Au, Ag, or other materials may be used as solder. The gallium nitride semiconductor light-emitting element 102 is arranged this substrate—which includes the electrical wiring—and is connected with the leads thereof. Semiconductor light-emitting element 102 is arranged over bumps 204 and lead connections are made using the bumps, which are masses of metal situated in the electrode portions. Since the fluorescent material is sensitive to temperature, the production process is carried out at low temperature. The temperature is about 80° C. to 150° C. The fluorescent material is admixed into this glass sol-gel solution, which is then applied and heated to produce a glass body. The fluorescent material is a combination of two materials, a blue-excited green fluorescent material and a blue-excited red fluorescent material. The semiconductor element chip is designed for flip-chip bonding. In the process of applying the glass over the surface of the semiconductor chip, flip chip bonding provided better technical affinity, since this connection process does not require the presence of wires. SrS:Eu2+ emits red light, and (Sr, Ba, Ca)S:Eu2+ emits green light. A specific example of a red fluorescent material is SrGd2S4:Eu2.
