  • Patent number: 7319245
    Abstract: A radiation-emitting semiconductor component, comprising a semiconductor body which emits a primary light, a luminescent conversion element which emits fluorescent light, in which the luminescent conversion element comprises a suspension of a luminous substance in a matrix material, wherein the luminescent conversion element is in direct contact with a part of the surface of said semiconductor body, and wherein the fluorescent light emitted from said luminescent conversion element is approximately half the total emission of the light of the radiation-emitting semiconductor component.

  • Patent number: 7288831
    Abstract: In a two-pole SMT miniature housing in leadframe technique for semiconductor components, a semiconductor chip is mounted on one leadframe part and is contacted to a further leadframe part. The further leadframe part is conducted out of the housing in which the chip is encapsulated as a solder terminal. No trimming or shaping process is required and the housing is tight and is capable of further miniaturization. The solder terminals as punched parts of the leadframe are conducted projecting laterally from the housing sidewalls residing opposite one another at least up to the housing floor which forms the components' mounting surface. The chip mounting surface and the components' mounting surface form a right angle with one another.
