  • Publication number: 20160163939
    Abstract: An optoelectronic semiconductor chip includes a carrier, a semiconductor body having an active region that generates and/or receives radiation, and an insulation layer wherein the semiconductor body is fastened on the carrier with a connecting layer; the carrier extends in a vertical direction between a first main surface facing toward the semiconductor body, and a second main surface facing away from the semiconductor body, and a lateral surface connects the first main surface and the second main surface to one another; a first region of the lateral surface of the carrier has an indentation; a second region of the lateral surface runs in the vertical direction between the indentation and the second main surface; the insulation layer at least partially covers each of the semiconductor body and the first region; and the second region is free of the insulation layer.

  • Patent number: 8946098
    Abstract: A device is intended for a laser lift-off method to sever at least one layer from a carrier. The device includes a laser that generates pulsed laser radiation and at least one beam splitter. The laser radiation is divided into at least two partial beams by the at least one beam splitter. The partial beams are superimposed in an irradiation plane, the irradiation plane being provided such that a major side of the carrier remote from the layer is arranged therein. At the irradiation plane, an angle (?) between the at least two partial beams is at least 1.0°.

  • Patent number: 8932888
    Abstract: A method of applying a conversion means to an optoelectronic semiconductor chip includes preparing the optoelectronic semiconductor chip having a main radiation face, preparing the conversion means, the conversion means being applied to a main carrier face of a carrier, arranging the conversion means such that it faces the main radiation face and has a spacing relative to the main radiation face, and releasing the conversion means from the carrier and applying the conversion means to the main radiation face by irradiation and heating of an absorber constituent of the conversion means and/or of a release layer located between the conversion means and the carrier with a pulsed laser radiation which passes through the carrier.
