    Abstract: An optoelectronic module for emitting monochromatic radiation in the visible wavelength range is specified. The module has a plurality of light emitting diode chips which generate UV radiation. The UV radiation is converted into light in the visible range, for example, into green light, by a wavelength converter.

  • Patent number: 8330175
    Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation generating semiconductor chip is disclosed. A semiconductor layer sequence suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation is grown on a first main face of a radioparent, electrically conductive growth substrate, for example, a SiC growth substrate. Provided on a second main face of said growth substrate that faces away from said semiconductor layer sequence is a roughening that acts as a diffuser for an electromagnetic radiation emitted into said growth substrate by said semiconductor layer sequence and that in particular has a scattering factor higher than 0.25. A layer or layer sequence reflective of the electromagnetic radiation is applied to said roughening. A method for making the semiconductor chip is also disclosed.
