  • Publication number: 20060138621
    Abstract: An optoelectronic component (1) having a semiconductor arrangement (4) which emits and/or receives electromagnetic radiation and which is arranged on a carrier (22) which is thermally conductively connected to a heat sink (12). External electrical connections (9) are connected to the semiconductor arrangement (4), where the external electrical connections (9) are arranged in electrically insulated fashion on the heat sink (12) at a distance from the carrier (22). This results in an optimized component in terms of the dissipation of heat loss and the radiation of light and also in terms of making electrical contact and the packing density in modules.

  • Publication number: 20060138439
    Abstract: The invention concerns a light-emitting diode chip comprising a radiation-emitting active region and a window layer. To increase the luminous efficiency, the cross-sectional area of the radiation-emitting active region is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the window layer available for the decoupling of light. The invention is further directed to a method for fabricating a lens structure on the surface of a light-emitting component.

  • Publication number: 20060049477
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optoelectronic component containing an optoelectronic chip (1) and containing a chip carrier (2) that has a central region (3) on which the chip is fixed and that comprises terminals (41, 42, 43, 44) extending outwardly from the central region of the chip carrier (2) to the outside, wherein the chip and portions of the chip carrier are enveloped by a body (5) and wherein the projection of the body and that of each of the longitudinal axes of the terminals onto the contact plane between the chip and the chip carrier are substantially point-symmetrical with respect to the central point of the chip. The invention further relates to an arrangement comprising said component. The advantage of the symmetrical configuration of the component is that the risk of thermomechanically induced failures of the component is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20050244993
    Abstract: The invention describes two methods of fabricating semiconductor components in which a luminescence conversion element is applied directly to the semiconductor body (1). In the first method, a suspension (4) containing a bonding agent and at least one luminescent material (5) is applied to the semiconductor body (1) in layers. In the next step the solvent escapes, leaving only the luminescent material (5) with the bonding agent on the semiconductor body. In the second method, the semiconductor body (1) is provided with a layer (6) of bonding agent to which the luminescent material (5) is applied directly.

  • Patent number: 6900511
    Abstract: An optoelectronic component having a basic housing or frame (12) and at least one semiconductor chip (20), specifically a radiation-emitting or -receiving semiconductor chip, in a cavity (18) of the basic housing. In order to increase the efficiency of the optoelectronic component (10), 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 (28) filled at least partly into the cavity (18) is provided, the material and the quantity of the filling compound (28) 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 (30) of the filling compound serve as reflector.

  • Publication number: 20040264185
    Abstract: A light source, such as for a projection system, having a plurality of semiconductor chips and at least two different, electromagnetic-radiation-emitting chip types with different emission spectra, each semiconductor chip having a chip coupling-out area through which radiation is coupled out. Furthermore, the light source has a plurality of primary optical elements, each semiconductor chip being assigned a primary optical element, which in each case has a light input and a light output and reduces the divergence of at least part of the radiation emitted by the semiconductor chip during the operation thereof. The semiconductor chips with the primary optical elements are arranged in at least two groups that are spatially separate from one another, with the result that the groups emit separate light cones during operation of the semiconductor chips. The separate light cones of the groups are superposed by means of a secondary optical arrangement to form a common light cone.
