Abstract

An optoelectronic component includes an optoelectronic semiconductor chip including a carrier substrate, a first and a second side surface facing one another, respectively, and a third and a fourth side surface that intersect the first and second side surfaces, and a first main surface, at which at least one contact area is arranged, the carrier substrate being transparent to the emitted electromagnetic radiation, a transparent first potting compound directly adjacent to the first side surface; and a reflective potting compound directly adjacent to the second side surface and the carrier substrate and applied directly to the semiconductor chip.

Claims (32)

1. An optoelectronic component comprising:

an optoelectronic semiconductor chip comprising a carrier substrate, a first and a second side surface facing one another, respectively, and a third and a fourth side surface that intersect the first and second side surfaces, and a first main surface, at which at least one contact area is arranged, said carrier substrate being transparent to the emitted electromagnetic radiation,

a transparent first potting compound directly adjacent to the first side surface;

a reflective potting compound directly adjacent to the second side surface and the carrier substrate and applied directly to the semiconductor chip, and

a converter element on a side of the first side surface, wherein the first potting compound is arranged between the first side surface and the converter element.

2. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective potting compound adjoins a region between second side surface and contact area.

3. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the first potting compound comprises a converter material.

4. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the converter element differs from a height of the optoelectronic semiconductor chip, and the height of the semiconductor chip is measured perpendicular to the first main surface.

5. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , configured to emit electromagnetic radiation in a direction perpendicular to the first main surface.

6. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective potting compound comprises a resin or polymer material including ZrO 2 , SiO 2 or TiO 2 particles.

7. The optoelectronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the reflective potting compound at least partly adjoins the third and fourth side surfaces and a second main surface, respectively, and is applied directly to the semiconductor chip.

8. A method of producing optoelectronic components, comprising:

arranging optoelectronic semiconductor chips comprising a first and a second side surface facing one another, respectively, and a third and a fourth side surface, that intersect the first and second side surfaces, and a first main surface, at which at least one contact area is arranged, respectively, on a carrier substrate such that the first main surface is positioned directly adjacent to the carrier substrate, respectively, said carrier substrate being transparent to the emitted electromagnetic radiation;

introducing a transparent first potting compound between adjacent semiconductor chips such that the first potting compound adjoins the first side surface, respectively;

applying a reflective potting compound such that the reflective potting compound adjoins the second side surface of the optoelectronic semiconductor chips and the carrier substrate; and

singulating the optoelectronic components such that each optoelectronic component comprises at least one optoelectronic semiconductor chip,

wherein the reflective potting compound is applied such that it additionally at least partly adjoins the third and fourth side surfaces and also a second main surface, respectively.

9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising introducing converter elements on the side of the first side surface, respectively, wherein the first potting compound is introduced between converter element and first side surface.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the converter element is introduced before the first potting compound is introduced.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the converter element is introduced after or at the same time as the first potting compound is introduced.

12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein, before introducing the first potting compound, a reflective prepotting compound is further introduced directly adjacent to the second side surface.

13. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising introducing an intermediate layer before the first potting compound is introduced.

14. The method according to claim 8 , wherein at least two converter elements are introduced between two optoelectronic semiconductor chips and singulating is carried out between the at least two converter elements.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein an intermediate layer is introduced between two converter elements.

16. An electrical device comprising an optoelectronic component comprising:

an optoelectronic semiconductor chip comprising a carrier substrate, a first and a second side surface facing one another, respectively, and a third and a fourth side surface that intersect the first and second side surfaces, and a first main surface, at which at least one contact area is arranged, said carrier substrate being transparent to the emitted electromagnetic radiation,
