Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating a light emitting diode (LED) die, the method comprising: providing a substrate; forming a layer of n-type material upon the substrate; forming a layer of p-type material upon the substrate, the p-type material cooperating with the n-type material to define an active region; and forming a first extended, heat transmissive bond pad directly on the p-type material; forming a second extended, heat transmissive bond pad directly on the substrate; attaching the LED die to a lead frame via the first and second extended, heat transmissive bond pads, wherein the at least one extended, heat transmissive bond pad facilitates heat flow from an active region of the LED to the lead frame; and attaching a heat transmissive substrate to the lead frame and the LED die.
