  • Patent number: 11728444
    Abstract: An arrangement for an optoelectronic component includes a substrate and an optical semiconductor chip arranged on the substrate. The optical semiconductor chip has an optically active region, a first optically non-active region, and a second optically non-active region. A connection structure connects a chip-side electrical connection to the optically active region. An electrical connection connects the chip-side electrical connection to a second substrate-side electrical connection. A coating is provided in a layer stack in the optically active region, in the first optically non-active region, and in the second optically non-active region. The layer stack includes a first layer and a second layer arranged above the first layer. The chip-side electrical connection and the connection structure in the first optically non-active region and the protective layer in the second optically non-active region are each arranged between the first layer and the second layer.

  • Patent number: 7068059
    Abstract: An arrangement for producing an electrical connection between a ball grid array (BGA) package and a signal source is disclosed. A flexible printed circuit board (PCB) has conductor (e.g., copper) tracks arranged between flexible plastic layers. A contact receptacle with guide elements for the BGA package is located over a portion of the flexible PCB. Contact structures are electrically coupled to the conductor tracks of the flexible PCB and accessible via the contact receptacle. The contact structures serve for providing an electrical contact-connection of terminals of a BGA package placed in the receptacle. The contact structures comprise column- or sleeve-shaped contact elements that extend through the flexible PCB and project upwards on one side from one of the flexible plastic layers.
