Methods of forming LED packages and light emitting devices are provided. LED packages and light emitting devices are preferably formed from ceramic layers, such as AlN, though layers of non-ceramic materials can also be used. The layers are formed to include vias, apertures, and metallization layers. The layers are then bonded together to form a panel. The panel is scribed to form a grid of snap lines and then the panel is fractured along the snap lines. To form light emitting devices from the panel, LED dies are added and encapsulated before the panel is fractured.
