Abstract:
A microelectronic package comprising:an electrically conductive base having a cavity formed in a top surface thereof; a conductive pad adjacent said conductive base; an optoelectronic element disposed in said cavity, said optoelectronic element having a front face including a first contact and a rear surface including a second contact, said second contact being electrically connected to said conductive base by a conductive layer overlying said cavity, wherein said conductive layer aids in reflecting light emitted from the optoelectronic component; a flexible lead having a first end connected to said first contact and a second end connected to said conductive pad; an at least partially transparent encapsulant covering said optoelectronic element, said base, said lead and said conductive pad, said conductive base and said conductive pad being exposed on a bottom surface of said encapsulant, the bottom surface of said encapsulant defining the bottom of said package.
