Abstract
An LED chip includes a bond pad suitable for thermosonic or thermocompression bonding such as Sn, AuSn or other metals. The physical dimensions of the bond pad are selected to discourage or prevent solder squeeze-out during thermocompression or thermosonic bonding with or without flux. In some embodiments, an AuSn bond pad is designed to accept 30 g to 70 g of force or more without squeeze-out.
