This is a guide on how to assemble an LED.
It requires the following: an LED chip, a leadframe, a conductive attaching material, bonding wire, optional phosphor and epoxy.
There are three parts to making an LED in general: 1. Making an LED chip. 2. Mounting the LED chip to a leadframe. and 3. epoxying the LED.
A high brightness LED will require a heatsink.
A major step is component attach, also known as die attach. A conductive silver paste can be used.[1]
LED chips can be epoxy attached to aceramic base using 84-1LMISR4, for example.[1]
Each LED can be interconnected using 32-micron gold wires, for example.[1] The wires can be encapsulated using GE IVS4632 silicone, for example.[1] However, wire bonding is not good and should be avoided if possible.
