Publication number: 20080173878Abstract: A housing accommodating a semiconductor chip is set out. The housing and chip may be used for sending and/or receiving radiation. Popular applications of the housing may be in light emitting diodes. The housing includes a conductor strip that is punched into two electrically isolated portions. The housing further includes a cavity extending inwards from the top of the housing. The conductor portions include respective areas that are exposed at the bottom of the cavity. The semiconductor chip is bonded to one of the exposed areas and a wire bonds the chip to the second exposed area. The conductor portions also terminate in exposed electrodes, which allow for electrical connection of the chip with external devices. A window is formed in the cavity and the walls of the housing that form the cavity may be made of a reflective material. The electrodes remain unexposed to the window but for any residual areas about the chip and bonding wire within the first and second exposed areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2008Publication date: July 24, 2008Inventors: Gunther Waitl, Herbert Brunner

Publication number: 20050244993Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2001Publication date: November 3, 2005Inventors: Georg Bogner, Gunther Waitl, Alexandra Debray

Patent number: 6087680Abstract: An LED device includes at least one LED chip having a front contact metallization disposed on a light exit surface of a light-emitting member and a rear contact metallization disposed on a side of the light-emitting member opposite the light exit surface. The LED chip is disposed between first and second conductor track supports. The first conductor track support is transparent and has at least one first electric conductor contacting the front contact metallization. The second conductor track support has at least one second electric conductor contacting the rear contact metallization. The LED device has, inter alia, the special advantage of permitting the size of the LED chips to be reduced, in contrast with the chip size in conventional LED devices, thus allowing the luminous spot density to be increased.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1998Date of Patent: July 11, 2000Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Wolfgang Gramann, Werner Spath, Gunther Waitl, Herbert Brunner
