1. A method for fabricating a light emitter package, comprising:
- providing a surface with a light emitter;
providing an at least one structure at least partially surrounding said light emitter and creating a cavity;
providing an encapsulant material over said light emitter in said cavity covering at least part of said light emitter such that the shape said encapsulant takes is at least partially defined by said structure; and
said package is submount free.

Abstract
A submount-free light emitter package with primary optic and method of fabricating the same are disclosed, these packages and methods comprising a light emitter with an optic. The optic may have a shape, which includes a portion that is wider at a point further from the light emitter than a point which is closer. The method includes a light emitter disposed on a carrier surface with at least one structure at least partially surrounding the light emitter. The encapsulant is over the light emitter forming a primary optic. The intermediate element at least partially defines the shape of the primary optic.
