Patent ID: 8389307

Claim:
A method for fabricating a light emitting diode package, comprising: forming a frame body; forming a conductive layer covering the frame body to form a lead frame; forming a reflector, wherein the reflector has a first portion and a second portion sandwiching the lead frame, wherein a first surface of the first portion has a first depression that exposes at least a portion of the lead frame, wherein a second surface of the first portion opposite to the first surface of the first portion is in contact with the lead frame, wherein a first surface of the second portion is in contact with the lead frame, wherein a second surface of the second portion opposite to the first surface of the second portion includes at least one second depression thereon, wherein a depth of the at least one second depression is more than half of, but not completely through, a distance between the first and the second surfaces of the second portion to provide an increased surface area for heat dissipation; and disposing a light emitting diode chip on the lead frame in the first depression.
