A lens is formed over one or more light-emitting devices disposed over a substrate. The lens includes a trench that circumferentially surrounds the one or more light-emitting devices. The trench is filled with a phosphor-containing material.

Batwing LED with remote phosphor configuration

A lighting apparatus includes a substrate. One or more light-emitting devices are disposed over the substrate. A lens is molded over the substrate and over the one or more light-emitting devices. A recess is disposed in the lens. The recess circumferentially surrounds the one or more light-emitting devices in a top view. The recess is at least partially filled with phosphor particles.

A semiconductor structure includes a module with a plurality of die regions, a plurality of light-emitting devices disposed upon the substrate so that each of the die regions includes one of the light-emitting devices, and a lens board over the module and adhered to the substrate with glue. The lens board includes a plurality of microlenses each corresponding to one of the die regions, and at each one of the die regions the glue provides an air-tight encapsulation of one of the light-emitting devices by a respective one of the microlenses. Further, phosphor is included as a part of the lens board.

An LED emitter uses a molded lens with phosphor material embedded in a circumferential trench to generate a batwing beam pattern. After the lens is molded over a package substrate with connected LED dies thereon, the phosphor material is molded, injected, or dispensed into a circumferential trench. The molded lens is shaped such that a majority of the light emitted by the one or more LED dies is reflected by the top surface to the side surfaces through the phosphor material.
