  • Publication number: 20150076549
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment of the method, the method is used to produce optoelectronic semiconductor components. A lead frame assemblage includes a plurality of lead frames. The lead frames each includes at least two lead frame parts and the lead frames in the lead frame assemblage are electrically connected to one another by connecting webs. The lead frame assemblage is fitted on an intermediate carrier. At least a portion of the connecting webs is removed and/or interrupted. Additional electrical connecting elements are fitted between adjacent lead frames and/or lead frame parts. A potting body mechanically connects the lead frame parts of the individual lead frames to one another. The resulting structure is singulated to form the semiconductor components.

  • Patent number: 8975102
    Abstract: A method for producing an optoelectronic device is provided, in which a luminescent diode chip (10) is mounted on a base surface (8) on the first terminal area (1) of a carrier (3). An electrically insulating layer (4) is applied to side faces (17) of the luminescent diode chip (10). An electrically conductive layer (5), which leads from a second terminal contact (12) of the luminescent diode chip (10) over the electrically insulating layer (4) to a second terminal area (2) on the carrier (3), is subsequently applied. A photoresist layer (7) is applied to the electrically conductive layer (5), which photoresist layer (7) is exposed by application of an electrical voltage to the luminescent diode chip (10) so that the luminescent diode chip (10) emits radiation (23). After development of the photoresist layer (7), a portion of the electrically conductive layer (5) arranged on the radiation exit surface (9) is removed by means of an etching process, in which the photoresist layer (7) serves as a mask.
