  • Patent number: 7154155
    Abstract: A surface mounted LED package includes a pair of metal contact plates, an LED mounted to one (or both) metal contact plates, and glue encapsulating the LED and holding the LED and both metal contact plates together to form a LED package to be soldered to a motherboard. The contact plates have side notches and bottom recesses of various shapes and dimensions, as well as through holes extending through the entire width of the contact plates to facilitate the glue flow for filling out the side notches and bottom recesses for improved solidifying of the LED package. The contact plates have portions uncovered by the glue to provide extended areas for soldering to a motherboard.

  • Publication number: 20050133888
    Abstract: A package substrate having a chip on a substrate has a die pad on the substrate. The chip is attached on the die pad via ah adhesive. A plurality of gold contacts is distributed on the die pad for electrically connecting to the chip. A plurality of traces is distributed around the die pad to connect to the chip via wires. An adhesive dike is formed between the die pad and the traces to prevent the adhesive from flowing out of the die pad when the chip is attached on the die pad.

  • Patent number: 6569698
    Abstract: A focusing cup is directly glued to two or more preformed folded metal frames. Parts of the top surfaces of the folded metal frames contact the electrodes of semiconductor device placed inside the focusing cup. The bottoms of the metallic frames serve as the bottom contacts for surface mounting to a motherboard. The preformed metallic frames need not withstand the stress of folding and the package can be made thinner than prior art. The elimination of the through holes makes the package narrower. The bottoms of the metallic frames can be aligned one side of the bottom surface of the package, so that the package can be surface-mounted normally to or in parallel with a motherboard with light emitting respectively in parallel with or normally to the surface of the motherboard.
