Abstract

Various embodiments relate to an optoelectronic component, including a carrier element, on which at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip is arranged, and a cover, which is mounted on the carrier element in a region extending circumferentially around the semiconductor chip and together with the carrier element forms a sealed cavity in which the at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip is arranged in an inert gas.

Claims (17)

1. An optoelectronic component comprising:

a carrier element, on which at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip is arranged, and

a cover sintered or soldered on the carrier element in a region extending circumferentially around the semiconductor chip and together with the carrier element forms a sealed cavity in which the at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip is arranged in an inert gas; wherein at least one wavelength conversion substance is embedded in the cover.

2. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one semiconductor chip comprises a reflective layer comprising silver.

3. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the reflective layer faces the carrier.

4. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the carrier element is formed by a ceramic material, a glass material, a metal or a combination thereof.

5. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inert gas is formed by Ar, Ne, N 2 or a mixture thereof.

6. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the carrier element is planar and the cover has a depression for forming the cavity.

7. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises a ceramic material and/or glass material.

8. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 7 , wherein a circumferentially extending connection layer formed from a metallization or a glass solder is arranged between the cover and the circumferentially extending region of the carrier element.

9. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the metallization is formed by a layer sequence comprising tungsten, nickel and silver or comprising tungsten, nickel and tin or comprising tungsten and NiPdAu.

10. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the cover comprises a wavelength conversion substance on a surface of the cover which faces the at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip and/or in a material of the cover.

11. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the cover is at least partly formed by a wavelength conversion substance.

12. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the cover comprises a wavelength conversion substance on a surface facing away from the at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip.

13. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises a polymer material.

14. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a silver layer is arranged on that surface of the carrier element which faces the at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip, and/or the at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip comprises a silver layer.

15. The optoelectronic component as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising at least one via configured to connect the at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip to an element outside the cavity.
