  • Patent number: 11804568
    Abstract: Optoelectronic components, groups of optoelectronic components, and methods for producing a component or a plurality of optoelectronic components are provided. The method may include providing a growth substrate having a buffer layer arranged thereon. The buffer layer may be structured in such a way that it has a plurality of the openings which are spaced apart from one another in lateral directions. A plurality of semiconductor bodies may be formed in the openings, wherein in the areas of the openings, the buffer layer has subregions which are arranged in a vertical direction between the growth substrate and the semiconductor bodies. The growth substrate may be detached from the semiconductor bodies. The buffer layer may be removed at least in the areas of the subregions.

  • Patent number: 10608081
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for laterally structuring a structured layer (2) with a plurality of three-dimensional structure elements (20), having the following steps: a) providing the structured layer with the three-dimensional structure elements; b) forming a laterally structured covering layer (3) on the structured layer in order to define at least one structured layer region (4) to be removed; and c) removing the structured layer region to be removed by means of a force acting on the structure elements in the region to be removed. The invention further relates to a semiconductor component (1).

  • Patent number: 10573790
    Abstract: An optoelectronic arrangement having a radiation conversion element and a method for producing a radiation conversion element are disclosed. In an embodiment, an optoelectronic arrangement includes a semiconductor chip having an active region configured to generate radiation, a radiation conversion element arranged downstream of the semiconductor chip in an emission direction and a reflective polarization element arranged downstream of the radiation conversion element in the emission direction. The radiation conversion element has a plurality of conversion elements, each of which has an axis of symmetry, the spatial orientation of the axes of symmetry has a preferred direction and a radiation emitted by the radiation conversion element has a preferred polarization. The reflective polarization element largely allows radiation with the preferred polarization to pass through and largely reflects radiation polarized perpendicularly to the preferred polarization.

  • Patent number: 9966503
    Abstract: An optoelectronic semiconductor component and a method for manufacturing an optoelectronic semiconductor component are disclosed. In an embodiment, the component includes a plurality of active regions configured to generate a primary radiation and a plurality of luminescent material particles configured to convert the primary radiation into a secondary radiation, wherein the active regions are arranged spaced apart from each other, wherein each active region has a main extension direction, wherein each active region has a core region comprising a first semiconductor material, wherein each active region has an active layer covering the core region, wherein each active region has a cover layer comprising a second semiconductor material and covering the active layer, wherein at least some of the luminescent material particles are arranged between the active regions, and wherein a diameter of a majority of the luminescent material particles is smaller than a distance between two adjacent active regions.
