## Abstract

A light-emitting-element mounting package includes a substrate and a frame that are each made of a metal. The substrate includes a front surface and a back surface that oppose each other, and is provided with a mounting portion for a light emitting element at the front surface. The frame stands on the front surface of the substrate and includes an inner side surface that surrounds the mounting portion and an outer side surface. A substrate-side end portion of the frame includes a curved inclined surface (inclined portion) in a region near the outer side surface. The curved inclined surface is inclined toward a center of the frame in a thickness direction. A silver solder (joining material) is provided between the front surface of the substrate and the frame.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A light-emitting-element mounting package comprising:
a substrate made of a metal, the substrate including a front surface and a back surface that opposes the front surface, the substrate provided with a mounting portion for a light emitting element at a front surface side of the substrate; and
a frame made of a metal, the frame standing on the front surface of the substrate and including an inner side surface that surrounds the mounting portion, and an outer side surface,
wherein a substrate-side end portion of the frame defines an inclined portion or a step portion in at least one of a region near the outer side surface and a region near the inner side surface, the inclined portion being inclined toward a center of the frame in a thickness direction, the step portion having a thickness less than a thickness of a central portion of the frame in a vertical direction, and
wherein a joining material joins the substrate and the frame together, the joining material disposed between the front surface of the substrate and a part of the substrate-side end portion of the frame that opposes the front surface of the substrate.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The light-emitting-element mounting package according to claim 1, wherein the frame includes an opposite end portion opposite to the substrate-side end portion, and a metal ring is disposed on the opposite end portion of the frame extending along an outline of the frame in plan view,
wherein the opposite end portion defines an inclined portion or a step portion in at least one of a region near the outer side surface and a region near the inner side surface, and
wherein a joining material joins the frame and the metal ring together, the joining material disposed between the frame and the metal ring.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The light-emitting-element mounting package according claim 1, wherein, in plan view, the frame includes at least one joining end portion, and the at least one joining end portion defines an inclined portion or a step portion in at least one of a region near the outer side surface and a region near the inner side surface.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The light-emitting-element mounting package according to claim 1, wherein, in plan view, the frame includes at least one bent portion having an outer side surface and an inner side surface, and a radius of curvature of a curved part of the outer side surface of the bent portion is greater than a radius of curvature of a curved part of the inner side surface of the bent portion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The light-emitting-element mounting package according to claim 2, wherein, in plan view, the substrate and a metal ring each have a rectangular outline having four corner portions,
wherein the frame stands on the substrate so as to extend along the outline of the substrate, and
wherein the frame includes bent portions disposed at each of the four corner portion of at least one of the substrate and the metal ring, each of the four corner portions including a protruding portion that protrudes outward beyond the respective curved part of the outer side surface of the bent portion of the frame.
