Patent ID: 7893452

Claim:
Optoelectronic component with: a semiconductor chip, which is suitable for emitting primary electromagnetic radiation, a basic package body, which has a recess for receiving the semiconductor chip and electrical leads for the external electrical connection of the semiconductor chip, which on the one hand are respectively connected in an electrically conducting manner to electrical contacts of the semiconductor chip and on the other hand respectively have a terminal area which can be contacted from the outside, and a chip encapsulating element, which encloses the semiconductor chip in the recess, in which component: the basic package body is at least partly optically transmissive at least for part of the primary radiation and an optical axis of the semiconductor chip runs through the basic package body, so that a large part of the primary radiation emitted by the semiconductor chip is radiated into the basic package body, the basic package body comprises a luminescence conversion material, which is suitable for converting at least part of the primary radiation into secondary radiation with wavelengths that are at least partly changed in comparison with the primary radiation, the basic package body has an outer layer, lying away from the recess, and an inner layer, enclosing the recess, between which layers there is a converter layer, which has the luminescence conversion material, and during the operation of the component, the basic package body emits radiation which comprises primary radiation passing through the basic package body and secondary radiation emitted by the luminescence conversion material.
