Abstract:
A light-radiating semiconductor component, comprising:a semiconductor body emitting electromagnetic radiation during an operation of the semiconductor component, said semiconductor body having a semiconductor layer sequence suitable for emitting electromagnetic radiation of a first wavelength range selected from a spectral region consisting of ultraviolet, blue, and green; a first electrical terminal and a second electrical terminal each electrically conductively connected to said semiconductor body; a luminescence conversion element with at least one luminescent material, said luminescence conversion element converting a radiation originating in the first wavelength range into radiation of a second wavelength range different from the first wavelength range, such that the semiconductor component emits polychromatic radiation comprising radiation of the first wavelength range and radiation of the second wavelength range; said luminescence conversion element comprising a luminescence conversion layer produced from a silicone and containing inorganic luminescence material selected from the group consisting of garnets doped with rare earths, alkaline earth metal sulfides doped with rare earths, thiogallates doped with rare earths, aluminates doped with rare earths, and orthosilicates doped with rare earths.
