Patent ID: 8039866

Claim:
A structure comprising: a mount, the mount comprising: a carrier; at least two metal leads having top surfaces, the top surfaces being affixed to a bottom surface of the carrier so as to be supported by the carrier; a cavity extending through a thickness of the carrier to expose a portion of the top surfaces of the at least two metal leads, the metal leads comprising at least two metal pieces, each having a top surface and an opposing bottom surface, with metal directly between the top surface and bottom surface; a semiconductor light emitting device disposed in the cavity, the semiconductor light emitting device comprising a light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region, electrodes on the light emitting device being bonded to the exposed top surfaces of the metal leads such that there is a direct current path to the electrodes between the top surface of the metal leads and the bottom surface of the metal leads; and a mold material molded over the light emitting device while within the cavity, the mold material covering the light emitting device and filling at least a portion of the cavity.
