The need to produce very high lumen output LEDs operating at high current require the development of packaging technology that can rapidly remove heat from the LEDs. High power LED packaging places new demands on chip design, die attach, submount design, encapsulation and lead frame design. This workshop will address the challenges of high power LED packaging and discuss some of the new materials and technologies that are being developed to produce high power LED packages providing low thermal resistance, good optical performance and acceptable operating life. See the list of topics...

Instructors: Dr. Robert Karlicek, Director - LED Development, Microsemi
                   Joe Mazzochette, Vice President of Engineering, Lamina
 
                  ---------  Only $240 (NT$7995) with discounts for additional attendees  -----------------
