Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing light emitting diode (LED) packages, the method comprising: mounting a large panel frame/substrate (LPF/S) having a substantially square shape to a ring, wherein the LPF/S includes a plurality of die pads and a corresponding plurality of leads arranged in a matrix pattern, each of the die pads including a planar chip attach surface; attaching an LED chip to the planar chip attach surface of each of the die pads; applying an encapsulant material overlaying the LED chips and at least a part of the LPF/S; separating each die pads pad and corresponding leads from the LPF/S to form LED packages, wherein steps of attaching the LED chips and applying the encapsulant material are performed while the LPF/S is mounted to the ring; and for each LED package, attaching a heat slug to a bottom exposed surface of the die pad, the heat slug configured to increase heat dissipation from the LED chip when mounted on a circuit board.
