Claim:
1. A method for producing an optoelectronic device, the method comprising: providing a housing base body, wherein the housing base body comprises a plastic material; forming a recess in the housing base body, wherein the recess is confined by a bottom surface and at least one side wall which are formed at least in places by the plastic material of the base body; providing an optoelectronic semiconductor chip, wherein the optoelectronic semiconductor chip has a first main surface, a second main surface facing away from the first main surface and at least one side surface connecting the first main surface and the second main surface with each other; placing the optoelectronic semiconductor chip in the recess, wherein the first main surface is brought in physical contact with the bottom surface and the at least one side surface is brought in physical contact with the at least one side wall; placing a cap comprising a self-healing polymer material on a side of the housing base body facing away from the first main surface of the optoelectronic semiconductor chip such that the cap spans over the recess in the base body; and joining the cap and the base body by heating.
