1. A method for forming an LED package, the method comprising:
- forming a panel including forming a top layer, an intermediate body layer, and a thermally conducting layer, and bonding the intermediate body layer between the top and thermally conducting layers;
defining a grid on a surface of the panel; and
separating the LED package from the panel by breaking the panel along lines of the grid.

Abstract
Methods of forming LED packages and light emitting devices are provided. LED packages and light emitting devices are preferably formed from ceramic layers, such as AlN, though layers of non-ceramic materials can also be used. The layers are formed to include vias, apertures, and metallization layers. The layers are then bonded together to form a panel. The panel is scribed to form a grid of snap lines and then the panel is fractured along the snap lines. To form light emitting devices from the panel, LED dies are added and encapsulated before the panel is fractured.

24. A method for forming a light emitting device, the method comprising:
-
forming a panel having a square array of vias disposed therethrough and a cavity disposed within each square defined by the array;
defining a grid on a surface of the panel;
bonding an LED die to a floor of each cavity; and
separating the light emitting device from the panel by breaking the panel along lines of the grid. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)
