The figures are based on inputs from DOE SSL Roundtable and Workshop attendees.
According to the source, the high-power package assumes a 2 mm2 LED die packaged on a ceramic substrate (3.5 mm x 3.5 mm) with a molded silicone lens. The mid-power PC-LED package assumes a two die (0.5 mm2 die) plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) 3030 package (3 mm x 3 mm).
In both high-power and mid-power LED packages in the United States in 2018, the cost of dies accounted for over half of the total costs. While packaging made up some ** percent of total costs in mid-power LED packages, it accounted only for around ** percent of total costs in high-power LED packages.
