Patent number: 10333032Abstract: An embodiment optoelectronic semiconductor device includes a housing having a leadframe with a first and second connection conductor. The housing further has a housing body surrounding the leadframe in one or more regions. The housing body extends in a vertical direction between a mounting side of the housing body and a front side of the housing body opposite the mounting side. The first connection conductor has a recess. A semiconductor chip configured to generate radiation is arranged within the housing, and the semiconductor chip is disposed in the recess and is affixed to the first connection conductor within the recess. A side face of the recess forms a reflector for reflecting the generated radiation. The first connection conductor protrudes from the housing body at the mounting side. The semiconductor chip is, in at least some regions, free of an encapsulation material adjoining the semiconductor chip.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2014Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: OSRAM OPTO SEMICONDUCTORS GMBHInventors: Frank Möllmer, Markus Arzberger, Michael Schwind, Thomas Höfer, Martin Haushalter, Mario Wiengarten, Tilman Eckert
