Abstract
A surface mount LED apparatus is provided which can prevent separation of the surface of an LED chip from a sealing resin portion. Patterned circuits on a substrate are provided with a device mounting region and a wire bond region, and an increased-thickness portion having a thickness 1.6 times or more than the greater of the thickness of the device mounting region and the thickness of the wire bond region. When the apparatus is heated, this configuration allows for inducing interfacial separation between the increased-thickness portion and the sealing resin portion earlier than interfacial separation is induced between the LED chip and the sealing resin portion. This configuration can prevent interfacial separation between the LED chip and the sealing resin portion.
