Patent number: 9012940Abstract: An optoelectronic semiconductor body (1) having an active semiconductor layer sequence (10) and a reflective layer system (20) is described. The reflective layer system (20) comprises a first radiation-permeable layer (21), which adjoins the semiconductor layer sequence (10), and a metal layer (23) on the side of the first radiation-permeable layer (21) facing away from the semiconductor layer sequence (10). The first radiation-permeable layer (21) contains a first dielectric material. Between the first radiation-permeable layer (21) and the metal layer (23) there is disposed a second radiation-permeable layer (22) which contains an adhesion-improving material. The metal layer (23) is applied directly to the adhesion-improving material. The adhesion-improving material differs from the first dielectric material and is selected such that the adhesion of the metal layer (23) is improved in comparison with the adhesion on the first dielectric material.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2010Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbHInventors: Robert Walter, Vincent Grolier, Michael Schmal, Korbinian Perzlmaier, Franz Eberhard

Semiconductor chip having a soldering layer sequence, and process for soldering a semiconductor chip
Patent number: 7598529Abstract: A semiconductor chip (1), to which a layer sequence (2) intended for the production of a soldered connection has been applied. The layer sequence (2) comprises a solder layer (15) and an oxidation prevention layer (17), which follows the solder layer (15) as seen from the semiconductor chip (1). A barrier layer (16) is included between the solder layer (15) and the oxidation prevention layer (17). This prevents a constituent of the solder layer (15) from diffusing through the oxidation prevention layer (17) prior to the soldering operation, where it would effect oxidation that is disadvantageous for producing a soldered connection.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2006Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbHInventors: Andreas Ploessl, Stefan Illek, Vincent Grolier -
