  • Publication number: 20140030829
    Abstract: An optoelectronic module is described including a carrier substrate and a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor components. The carrier substrate includes structured conductor tracks. The semiconductor components each include an active layer for generating electromagnetic radiation, a first contact area and a second contact area. The first contact area is in each case arranged on that side of the semiconductor components that is remote from the carrier substrate. The semiconductor components are provided with an electrically insulating layer having a cutout in a region of the first contact area. Conductive structures are arranged in regions on the insulating layer. One of the conductive structures electrically conductively connects at least the first contact area of a semiconductor component to a further first contact area of a further semiconductor component or to a conductor track of the carrier substrate. A method for producing such a module is also described.

  • Patent number: 8314441
    Abstract: An optoelectronic component having a basic housing or frame and at least one semiconductor chip, specifically a radiation-emitting or -receiving semiconductor chip, in a cavity of the basic housing. In order to increase the efficiency of the optoelectronic component, reflectors are provided in the cavity in the region around the semiconductor chip. These reflectors are formed by virtue of the fact that a filling compound filled at least partly into the cavity is provided, the material and the quantity of the filling compound being chosen in such a way that the filling compound, on account of the adhesion force between the filling compound and the basic housing, assumes a form which widens essentially conically from bottom to top in the cavity, and the conical inner areas of the filling compound serve as reflector.
