Abstract

Optoelectronic semiconductor devices and methods for producing optoelectronic semiconductor devices are disclosed. In an embodiment the method includes applying a plurality of arrangements of electrically conductive first and second contact elements on an auxiliary carrier, applying an optoelectronic semiconductor chip on the second contact element of each arrangement and electrically conductively connecting the optoelectronic semiconductor chip to the first contact element for each arrangement. The method further includes encapsulating the first contact elements and the second contact elements with an encapsulation material to form an encapsulation body and singulating the encapsulation body into a plurality of optoelectronic semiconductor devices, wherein the encapsulation material finishes flush with an underside, facing the auxiliary carrier, of each first contact element, and wherein the encapsulation material finishes flush with an underside, facing the auxiliary carrier, of each second contact element.

Claims (31)
