Abstract
A mounting substrate for a semiconductor light emitting device includes a thermally conductive mounting block. The mounting block has, in a first face thereof, a cavity that is configured to mount a semiconductor light emitting device therein and to reflect light that is emitted by the semiconductor light emitting device that is mounted therein away from the cavity. A conductive lead inserted into the mounting block extends into the cavity. The conductive lead is electrically isolated from the mounting block and has an exposed contact portion in the cavity. The conductive lead may be a plurality of conductive leads each having an exposed contact portion at different locations in the cavity. Related packaging methods also may be provided.
