  • Patent number: 10333032
    Abstract: An embodiment optoelectronic semiconductor device includes a housing having a leadframe with a first and second connection conductor. The housing further has a housing body surrounding the leadframe in one or more regions. The housing body extends in a vertical direction between a mounting side of the housing body and a front side of the housing body opposite the mounting side. The first connection conductor has a recess. A semiconductor chip configured to generate radiation is arranged within the housing, and the semiconductor chip is disposed in the recess and is affixed to the first connection conductor within the recess. A side face of the recess forms a reflector for reflecting the generated radiation. The first connection conductor protrudes from the housing body at the mounting side. The semiconductor chip is, in at least some regions, free of an encapsulation material adjoining the semiconductor chip.

  • Patent number: 10008440
    Abstract: A carrier for an electrical component, including a substrate having a surface, with an electrically conductive contact zone arranged on the surface of the substrate, a solder pad disposed on the contact zone, and a solder stop structure disposed laterally next to the solder pad. The solder stop structure has a surface that is less wettable with liquid solder than a surface of the contact zone. The solder stop structure subdivides the contact zone into a first zone region and a second zone region, with the first zone region having the solder pad. The solder stop structure extends over a portion of a total length of the contact zone such that the contact zone has a free connecting region that is free of the solder stop structure. The first and second zone regions are connected to one another by means of the free connecting region.
