Abstract
A metal plate on a multi-die LED emitter substrate or a metal plate on a metal-core printed circuit board (MCPCB) that attaches to the emitter substrate (or both plates) can be fabricated with a number of generally radial grooves, at least some of which extend to the peripheral edge of the plate. These grooves can provide channels that allow air to escape during solder-bonding processes, reducing the size and/or total area of solder voids and thereby improving thermal transfer between the emitter and the MCPCB.
