Abstract

In a method for producing a radiation-emitting optoelectronic component, a semiconductor chip is mounted by a first main area onto a carrier body and is electrically conductively connected at a first contact area to a first connection region, and a transparent electrically insulating encapsulation layer is applied to the chip and the carrier body. A first cutout in the encapsulation layer for at least partly uncovering a second contact area of the chip is produced, and a second cutout in the encapsulation layer for at least partly uncovering a second connection region of the carrier body is produced. Finally, an electrically conductive layer, which electrically conductively connects the second contact area of the semiconductor chip and the second connection region of the carrier body, is applied.

Claims (28)

1. A method for producing an optoelectronic component which emits radiation in a main radiation direction, comprising a semiconductor chip having a first main area, a first contact area and a second main area, opposite the first main area, with a second contact area, and a carrier body having first and second connection regions, electrically insulated from one another, wherein the method comprises the steps of:

mounting the semiconductor chip by the first main area onto the carrier body and electrically conductively connecting the first contact area to the first connection region;

applying a transparent electrically insulating glass encapsulation layer to the semiconductor chip and the carrier body, application of the insulating glass encapsulation layer comprising the steps of

applying a precursor layer containing inorganic and organic constituents;

removing the organic constituents from the precursor layer with a first thermal treatment; and

densifying the precursor layer into a glass layer with a second thermal treatment;

mounting the semiconductor chip by the first main area onto the carrier body and electrically conductively connecting the first contact area to the first connection region;

applying a transparent electrically insulating encapsulation layer to the semiconductor chip and the carrier body;

producing a first cutout in the encapsulation layer for at least partly uncovering the second contact area of the semiconductor chip, and producing a second cutout in the encapsulation layer for at least partly uncovering the second connection region of the carrier body;

applying an electrically conductive layer, which electrically conductively connects the second contact area of the semiconductor chip and the second connection region of the carrier body; and
