Abstract:
A semiconductor component which performs at least one of a radiation-emitting function and a radiation-receiving function, comprising:a lead frame having a chip carrier part; a trough formed in the chip carrier part having a reflective inner surface; a semiconductor chip secured in the trough of the chip carrier part wherein radiation which is at least one of emitted and received by the semiconductor chip is reflected by the reflective inner surface of the trough; an encapsulation surrounding the semiconductor chip and at least a portion of the chip carrier part; at least two first external connections projecting from the encapsulation, said at least two first external connections being directly connected to the chip carrier part; a connection part on the lead frame positioned at a distance from the chip carrier part; and at least two second external connections projecting from the encapsulation, said at least two second external connections being directly connected to the connection part, said at least two second external connections not being connected to the chip carrier part.
