  • Publication number: 20110260193
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a luminescence conversion element (4), in particular for an optoelectronic component. In the method a raw material (1) is provided, which is intended for further processing to yield the ceramic material and which contains luminescent material particles and a binder material. A blank is molded by injecting the raw material (1) into a closed mold (3). The blank is released from the mold (3). The binder material is removed from the blank. The blank is sintered to yield the luminescence conversion element (4), wherein the luminescent material particles are bonded together and/or with further particles of the raw material to yield the ceramic material. A luminescence conversion element and an optoelectronic component are additionally provided.

  • Patent number: 7964890
    Abstract: Proposed is an epitaxial substrate, particularly for making thin-film semiconductor chips based on III-V semiconductors, comprising a sacrificial layer that is applied to a wafer substrate and whose band gap is smaller than the band gap of the surrounding substrate, and a method of making the epitaxial substrate. Further described is a method of making a thin-film semiconductor chip, particularly an LED, wherein an epitaxial substrate is prepared, wherein at least one LED structure is grown on said epitaxial substrate and the LED structure is bonded to an acceptor substrate, and wherein the semiconductor wafer is released by at least partially destroying the sacrificial layer, and the at least one LED structure is singulated.
