The semiconductor device can be configured to form a space between the wavelength converting material and the encapsulating resin so that each of the encapsulating resin and the wavelength converting material cannot contact with each other even under a high temperature.

  • Patent number: 8809125
    Abstract: Reducing effects of thermal expansion in electronic components. An electronic device can include a support, such as a leadframe. An electronic component can be supported by the support. A first flexible layer can cover the electronic component. A second more rigid layer can cover the first layer. The first layer can be made from a material that is more flexible than the second layer thereby creating a mechanical buffer layer between the second layer and the electronic component such that the electronic component is protected from thermal expansion of the second portion caused by changes in temperature. The electronic component can be a laser. The first and second materials can be selected to disperse an optical emission from the optical transmitter.
