Abstract:
A method of forming a light emitting diode (LED) package includes mounting a LED structure to a carrier, overmolding the LED structure in a package body, backgrinding the package body to expose the LED structure, removing the carrier, and forming a redistribution layer (RDL) buildup structure comprising a RDL circuit pattern coupled to a LED of the LED structure. The LED package is formed without a substrate in one embodiment. By forming the LED package without a substrate, the thickness of the LED package is minimized. Further, by forming the LED package without a substrate, heat removal from the LED is maximized as is electrical performance. Further still, by forming the LED package without a substrate, the fabrication cost of the LED package is minimized.
