Patent ID: 7655957

Claim:
A submount for a solid state lighting package, comprising: a support member having an upper surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface opposite the first side surface; a first electrical bondpad on the upper surface of the support member and having a first bonding region proximate the first side surface of the support member and a second bonding region extending toward the second side surface of the support member; a second electrical bondpad on the upper surface of the support member having a die mounting region proximate the first side surface of the support member and an extension region extending from the die mounting region toward the second side surface of the support member, wherein the die mounting region of the second electrical bondpad is configured to receive an electronic device, and wherein the extension region is configured to receive a wirebond; and a third electrical bondpad on the upper surface of the support member and positioned between the second side surface of the support member and the die mounting region of the second electrical bondpad; wherein the second bonding region of the first electrical bondpad extends towards the second side surface of the support member past the die mounting region of the second electrical bondpad and wherein the extension region of the second electrical bondpad extends closer to the second side surface of the support member than the second bonding region of the first electrical bondpad.
