Abstract: A Chip on Board (COB) package which can reduce the manufacturing costs by using a general PCB as a substrate, increase a heat radiation effect from a light source, thereby realizing a high quality light source at low costs, and a manufacturing method thereof. The COB package includes a board-like substrate with a circuit printed on a surface thereof, the substrate having a through hole. The package also includes a light source positioned in the through hole and including a submount and a dome structure made of resin, covering and fixing the light source to the substrate. The invention allows a good heat radiation effect by using the general PCB as the substrate, enabling manufacture of a high quality COB package at low costs. This in turn improves emission efficiency of the light source, ultimately realizing a high quality light source.
