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.

Each LED can be interconnected using 32-micron gold wires, for example.<ref name="e549"/> The wires can be encapsulated using GE IVS4632 silicone, for example.<ref name="e549"/> However, wire bonding is not good and should be avoided if possible.
