Epitaxial formation structures and associated methods of manufacturing solid state lighting devices

摘要

Epitaxial formation structures and associated methods of manufacturing solid state lighting ("SSL") devices with target thermal expansion characteristics are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an SSL device includes a composite structure having a composite CTE temperature dependency, a formation structure on the composite structure, and an SSL structure on the formation structure. The SSL structure has an SSL temperature dependency, and a difference between the composite CTE and SSL temperature dependencies is below 3 ppm/° C. over the temperature range.
