Abstract

The invention relates to a semi-conductor component, comprising a semi-conductor chip ( 1 ) which has an active layer ( 1 a ) suitable for generating radiation and suitable for emitting radiation in the blue wavelength range. A first converter ( 3 a ) comprising a Ce doping is arranged downstream of the semiconductor chip ( 1 ) in the emission direction. In addition, a second converter ( 3 b ) comprising a minimum Ce doping of 1.5% is arranged downstream of the semiconductor chip ( 1 ) in the emission direction. The invention further relates to a module with a plurality of such components.
