In this study, a very small LED packaging lead frame with a low thermal resistance was developed. The cost of the package process was reduced by the use of many small LED lamps, which increased the light emission efficiency. Compared to the large lead frame lamp, however, the optical property of the small LED packaging lead frame lamp was not sufficiently improved because its reflection structure was changed and its reflection area was reduced. The luminous efficiency of the LED lamp reaches 58 lm/W at the current density of 0.16 A/$cm^2$. Using the LED lamps, 46-inch LCD BLU was manufactured. The BLU-made LED lamps have a low power consumption of 146 W and have a slim (10-mm-thick) BLU, keeping good uniformity in terms of brightness, and maintaining good thermal properties.

Lead frame which has a high thermal conductivity and high mechanical strength is one of core technology for ultra-thin electronics such as LED lead frames, memory devices of semiconductors, smart phone, PDA, tablet PC, notebook PC etc. In this paper, we fabricated a Cu/STS/Cu 3-layered clad metal for lead frame packaging materials and characterized the mechanical properties and thermal conductive properties of the clad metal lead frame material. The clad metal lead frame material has a comparable thermal conductivity to typical copper alloy lead frame materials and has a reinforced mechanical tensile strength by 1.6 times to typical pure copper lead frame materials. The thermal conductivity and mechanical tensile strength of the Cu/STS/Cu clad metal are 284.35 W/m K and $52.78kg/mm^2$, respectively.

We have investigated thermal stability of the mechanical and thermal conductive properties of Cu/STS/Cu 3 layered clad metal lead frame material for a LED device package at different temperatures ranging from RT to $200^{\circ}C$. The fabricated Cu/STS/Cu clad metal has a good thermal stability for the mechanical tensile strength and thermal conductivity of the over 50 $Kg/mm^2$ to the $150^{\circ}C$ and 270 $W/m{\cdot}K$ to the $200^{\circ}C$, respectively. This clad metal lead frame material at a high temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ shows a reinforced mechanical tensile strength by 1.5 times to conventional pure copper lead frame materials and also a comparable thermal conductivity to typical copper alloy lead frame materials.

0.25 mm thickness super thin surface mounted device LED Lamp is developed with PCB type lead frame in which BT (Bismaleimide Triazine) resin is used. BT resin is removed by a laser beam in order to reduce the thermal resistance below $1\;^{\circ}C/W$ and transfer molding is used with silicone. Compared to conventional 0.4 mm thickness LED lamp, the developed LED lamp can be derived in high current and the luminance of the LED lamp is increased up to 240 mA.

In this study, in order to obtain a high reflectivity for the LED lead frame, tin dip coating and tin plating were conducted respectively, and wettability of LED lead frame with tin solder also was tested by wetting balance tester. A Cu sheet was plated in Cu brighten electroplating bath and followed by immersion in a Sn electro-less plating bath [1]. On the other hand, in the dip coating process, a Cu sheet was dipped into molten tin. In the progress of wetting test, besides wetting balance curve, the maximum measured force($F_m$), the maximum withdrawal force($F_w$) and zero-cross time($t_0$) were obtained in various temperatures. With the maximum withdrawal force, the surface tension was calculated at different temperatures. The Cu sheet plated with bright Cu and Sn show a silver bright property while that of Cu dipped with Sn possessed a high reflectance density of 1.34GAM at $270^{\circ}C$.

The wetting property and reflectivity of Sn-3.5Ag solder which was dip coated on a LED lead frame were investigated. The wettability of molten solder on Cu substrate was evaluated by the wetting balance tester, and surface tension was calculated from maximum withdrawal force and withdrawal time. Temperature of the molten solder in a bath was varied in the range of $250-290^{\circ}C$. With increasing temperature, the surface tension decreased a little. The reflectivity of Sn-3.5Ag coated on a substrate became a little lower than the highest current LED lead frame reflectivity.

This study looked at high performance copper-based alloys as LED lead frame materials with higher electrical-conductivity and the maintenance of superior tensile strength. This study investigated the effects on the tensile strength, electrical conductivity, thermal softening, size and distribution of the precipitation phases when Cr was added in Cu-Fe alloy in order to satisfy characteristics for LED Lead Frame material. Strips of the alloys were produced by casting and then properly treated to achieve a thickness of 0.25 mm by hot-rolling, scalping, and cold-rolling; mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness and electrical-conductivity were determined and compared. To determine precipitates in alloy that affect hardness and electrical-conductivity, electron microscope testing was also performed. Cr showed the effect of precipitation hardened with a $Cr_3Si$ precipitation phase. As a result of this experiment, appropriate aging temperature and time have been determined and we have developed a copper-based alloy with high tensile strength and electrical-conductivity. This alloy has the possibility for use as a substitution material for the LED Lead Frame of Cu alloy.

In this study, we have successfully developed an unique NVIS Green A compatible LED by combining two technologies. One is white LED made with a black EMC (epoxy molding compound) lead frame. The other is NVIS Green A filter that shields the near infrared region made in the film method. The form factor of the developed NVIS Green A compatible LED was 2.0 × 2.0 × 0.95 mm. And it is possible to satisfy NVIS radiance and color limit specified in MIL-STD-3009 by controlling the concentration of Green A dye and the thickness of the NVIS filter as well as adjusting of color temperature of the white LED. From these results, we are expected that the developed NVIS Green A suitable LED is a promising solution for the weight reduction and the cost reduction of avionic applications.

This paper proposed a new concept of estimating method for LED(light-emitting diode) delamination with high accuracy. Usually, The LED is composed several materials which are LED chips, gold wire, phosphor, epoxy resin, adhesive, reflector and lead frame. These different materials are usually delaminated in a trouble conditions which are huge temperature difference, hot and humid or mechanical shocked. When the components are delaminated, a luminance will be lost, moisture be absorbed easily and a thermal resistance be increased attendantly. As a conventional method to estimate a delamination of LEDs, a solution immersing method is usually used in a field of LED manufacturing companies or researching institutes. This method has an advantage of simplicity but it is only shown that the existence of delamination or not. In this paper, we have proposed an estimating method for LEDs delamination using the polishing and the electron microscope. New proposed method has shown the result of confirming delamination without destruction and enabled quantitative analysis for LED delamination.

본 연구에서는 LED lead frame을 위한 Sn-3.5Ag 솔더의 젖음 특성과 반사율에 관하여 조사하였다. 금속기판과 액체금속간의 젖음성은 wetting balance tester를 이용하여 평가하였으며, 최대인출력, 최대인출시간 등을 측정하고 표면장력을 계산하였다. Sn-3.5Ag 솔더를 $250{\sim}290^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 젖음성을 측정하였는데 온도가 증가함에 따라 젖음성이 향상되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 솔더가 도금된 Cu-coupon의 반사율을 측정하였는데 $270^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 반사율을 나타냈다.
