Abstract

In an optical semiconductor package, a method of manufacturing the same, and an optical semiconductor device according to the present invention, a thermosetting resin such as an unsaturated polyester resin is used for a reflector 5 or resin 6 exposed around an optical semiconductor element, thereby suppressing deterioration of resin and a reduction in reflectivity.

Claims (11)

1. An optical semiconductor package, comprising:

a first lead having a mounting region for an optical semiconductor element on a major surface of the first lead;

at least one second lead having a connecting region for a conductive material on a major surface of the second lead, the conductive material being used for conduction with the optical semiconductor element;

a holding resin that adjoins and holds the mounting region of the first lead and the connecting region of the second lead; and

a reflector disposed on top of the surfaces of the first lead and the second lead and surrounding a perimeter of the mounting region and the connecting region, wherein

the holding resin and the reflector are formed as a single, injection molded structure with an unsaturated polyester resin, and the unsaturated polyester resin contains a filler composed of glass fibers and spherical silica, titanium oxide, and any additive agent and satisfies: 15%<A<25%, 5%<B<20%, 30%<C<40%, 20%<D<30%, 1%<E<3%, and A+B+C+D+E=100% where A is a component ratio of the unsaturated polyester resin, B is a component ratio of the glass fibers, C is a component ratio of the titanium oxide, D is a component ratio of the silica, and E is a component ratio of the additive agent.

2. A method of manufacturing the optical semiconductor package according to claim 1 , comprising:

placing the first lead and the second lead in a mold;

injecting a thermosetting resin into the mold to mold the holding resin and the reflector by injection molding; and

curing the thermosetting resin,

wherein the thermosetting resin is the unsaturated polyester resin, the mold is kept at 150° C. to 200° C., and the thermosetting resin is heated to 50° C. to 90° C. when injected into the mold.
