In summary, the LUXEON UV emitter is an ultra-compact, surface mount, high-power ultra-violet (UV) LED with peak wavelength ranging from 380 nm to 430 nm. Each LUXEON UV emitter consists of a high brightness InGaN chip on a ceramic substrate. The ceramic substrate provides mechanical support and provides a thermal path from the LED chip to the bottom of the emitter. An interconnect layer electrically connects the LED chip to cathode and anode pads of equal size on the bottom of the ceramic substrate. All LUXEON UV emitters contain a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) chip which protects the LED chip against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. The top surface of the LUXEON UV emitter has a flat top surface. The product delivers superior efficiency and is undomed for precise optical control.
