Claim Text:
1. A method for forming optoelectronic semiconductor components, the method comprising: providing a lead frame composite having a plurality of individual lead frames for the semiconductor components, wherein the lead frame composite comprises a plurality of test contacts which are freely accessible on a top side of the lead frame composite and wherein a bottom side of the lead frame composite opposite the top side is configured for surface mounting of the semiconductor components; attaching additional electrical connecting elements between adjacent lead frames; after attaching the additional electrical connecting elements, preparing a potting body to form house bodies of individual semiconductor components, wherein the potting body mechanically connects lead frame parts of each individual lead frame and a plurality of the lead frames to one another and covers the additional electrical connecting elements; electrically testing the semiconductor components, wherein the testing includes electrically contacting the test contacts at least temporarily on the top side; after the testing, singulating the lead frame composite and potting body to form the optoelectronic semiconductor components, wherein at least some of the additional electrical connecting elements are removed partially or completely during the singulating; and removing the test contacts after testing.
