Patent ID: 8802460

Claim:
A method of mounting an LED chip to a dielectric substrate by way of a metallic bond, said method comprising steps of: forming, as a first step, a metal ground layer on a top surface of said dielectric substrate; forming, as a second step, a first metal layer of an eutectic alloy on a bottom surface of said LED chip; providing, as a third step, a second metal layer contacting the top surface of said metal ground layer, said second metal layer being an eutectic alloy of the same metal components as said first metal layer; heating, as a fourth step, said dielectric substrate at its bottom surface remote from said metal ground layer to melt said second metal layer; and bonding, as a fifth step, said first metal layer with said second metal layer, wherein the fourth step is performed after the first through third steps and before the fifth step, and said first metal layer has a metal composition ratio different from that of said second metal layer and a melting point lower than that of said second metal layer.
