Abstract:
1. An optoelectronic device packaging assembly, comprising: an electrical sub-mount including a mounting area and a sub-mount bonding pad; a device turning mount having a sub-mount mounting side attached to the mounting area of the electrical sub-mount and a device mounting side having a device mounting area oriented in a plane substantially perpendicular to the mounting area of the electrical sub-mount; a light-emitting device including a device bonding pad and one or more semiconductor layers terminating at a common light-emitting surface and operable to emit light from the light-emitting surface, wherein the light-emitting device is attached to the device mounting area of the device turning mount with the light-emitting surface oriented in a plane substantially parallel to the mounting area of the electrical sub-mount and the device bonding pad adjacent the sub-mount bonding pad; and a direct electrical connection between the device bonding pad and the sub-mount bonding pad, wherein the electrical connection includes one or more electrically conductive bumps forming a continuous electrical connection from the device bonding pad to the sub-mount bonding pad.
