Abstract

An optoelectronic semiconductor device, a method for manufacturing an optoelectronic semiconductor device and light source having an optoelectronic semiconductor device are disclosed. In an embodiment, an optoelectronic semiconductor device includes a light-emitting diode component having at least one light-emitting diode chip and a top face, the top face arranged downstream of the light-emitting diode chip in an emission direction, wherein the light-emitting diode component further includes a molding and connection points, a conversion element arranged downstream of the light-emitting diode component in the emission direction, the conversion element includes wavelength-converting quantum dots, a frame member enclosing all side faces of the conversion element in a frame-like manner and a cover member arranged downstream of the conversion element in the emission direction, the cover member including a radiation-transmissive material, wherein the cover member covers the conversion element at a top face remote from the light-emitting diode chip.

Claims (24)

1. An optoelectronic semiconductor device comprising:

a light-emitting diode component comprising:

at least one light-emitting diode chip and a top face, the top face arranged downstream of the light-emitting diode chip in an emission direction;

connection points;

a conversion element arranged downstream of the light-emitting diode component in the emission direction, the conversion element comprising wavelength-converting quantum dots;

a frame member enclosing all side faces of the conversion element in a frame-like manner, wherein the frame member comprises a reactive heating layer and a first metal frame, wherein the reactive heating layer comprises a reactive material comprising at least one metal, wherein the first metal frame comprises a metal, wherein the first metal frame is arranged on a top face of the molding, and wherein the first metal frame is in direct contact with the molding; and

a cover member arranged downstream of the conversion element in the emission direction, the cover member comprising a radiation-transmissive material, wherein the cover member covers the conversion element at a top face remote from the light-emitting diode chip.

2. The optoelectronic semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising a barrier layer arranged between the light-emitting diode component and the conversion element, wherein the barrier layer completely covers all outer faces of the light-emitting diode component that face the conversion element.

3. The optoelectronic semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover member and the frame member are joined together and completely cover all outer faces of the conversion element that are remote from the light-emitting diode component.

4. The optoelectronic semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising a barrier layer arranged between the light-emitting diode component and the conversion element, wherein the barrier layer completely covers all outer faces of the molding that face the conversion element.

5. The optoelectronic semiconductor device according to claim 4 , wherein the conversion element is hermetically sealed by the barrier layer and/or the connection points, the frame member and the cover member, within bounds of manufacturing tolerances.
