Abstract

A method of producing a carrier substrate for an optoelectronic semiconductor component includes: providing a leadframe including a first electrically conductive contact section and a second electrically conductive contact section, and injection molding a housing including a housing frame embedding the leadframe by an injection-molding material free of epoxy such that the leadframe embedded in the housing frame of the injection-molded housing forms a carrier substrate for an optoelectronic semiconductor component.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, before injecting the injection-molding material, the leadframe and/or an injection-molding mold in which the leadframe is arranged are and/or is respectively heated to a temperature greater than a temperature of the injected injection-molding material.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a closing force of an injection-molding mold in which the leadframe is arranged is increased during a process of injecting the injection-molding material.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the injection-molding material comprises a thermoplastic and/or a silicone.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the leadframe comprises a central beam section extending along an axis of symmetry of the leadframe, and the injection perforations are located in the central beam section.

10. A carrier substrate for an optoelectronic semiconductor component comprising:
