Patent Images
1. A method of forming a plurality of semiconductor dies each suspended in cured polymeric binder, the method comprising:
- forming a plurality of semiconductor dies on a substrate wafer;
disposing the substrate wafer over a mold substrate, each semiconductor die (i) having at least two spaced-apart contacts adjacent the mold substrate, and (ii) being a bare-die light-emitting element;
removing at least a portion of the substrate wafer from the semiconductor dies;
coating the semiconductor dies with a polymeric binder;
curing the polymeric binder; and
separating the coated semiconductor dies from the mold substrate,wherein (i) the contacts of each semiconductor die remain at least partially uncoated by the polymeric binder and (ii) the polymeric binder is transparent to a wavelength of light emitted by the semiconductor dies.
