Patent ID: 8552458

Claim:
A light emitting diode comprising: a thermal conductive substrate having a flat first side, a flat second side and at least one electrical isolation layer on the first side; an anode through interconnect comprising a metal filled anode via from the first side to the second side electrically isolated in a vertical direction by the electrical isolation layer in the anode via and an anode contact proximate to the second side; a cathode through interconnect comprising a metal filled cathode via from the first side to the second side electrically isolated in the vertical direction by the electrical isolation layer in the cathode via and a cathode contact proximate to the second side, the anode through interconnect and the cathode through interconnect located side by side and top portions of the anode and cathode through interconnects are above the first side of the thermal conductive substrate; and a LED chip mounted to the first side in electrical communication with the anode through interconnect and with the cathode through interconnect, wherein an electrical path through the light emitting diode is from the anode contact, through the anode through interconnect, through the LED chip, through the cathode through interconnect and to the cathode contact and a heat transfer is from the LED chip through the electrical isolation layer and the thermal conductive substrate from the first side to the second side thereof.
