Abstract

A method of producing a cover element for an optoelectronic component includes producing a frame having a multiplicity of openings, wherein the frame is made of a material having embedded particles of TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , AlN, SiO 2 , or another optically reflective material and/or an embedded colored pigment; introducing a material into a multiplicity of the openings; and dividing the frame.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of producing a cover element for an optoelectronic component, comprising:
producing a frame having a multiplicity of openings, wherein the frame is made of a matrix material having embedded particles of TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , AlN, SiO 2 , or another optically reflective material and/or an embedded colored pigment;
introducing a converter material into a multiplicity of the openings; and
dividing the frame such that portions with respectively exactly one opening are formed;
wherein, before dividing the frame, for a multiplicity of openings the converter material introduced into the opening is divided.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame is produced by injection molding or transfer molding.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame is made of a matrix material comprising a silicone or an epoxy resin.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the converter material is introduced into the openings by blading, spraying or dispensing.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the converter material has embedded wavelength-converting particles.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the openings are respectively formed with an essentially rectangular cross-sectional surface.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein dividing the frame is carried out by sawing, laser separation, cutting or stamping.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame is produced such that the openings are regularly arranged.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, before dividing the frame, for a multiplicity of openings the material introduced into the opening is divided.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein dividing the converter material is carried out by boring, stamping, sawing, cutting, water jet cutting or a laser process.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame is treated with a plasma before the converter material is introduced.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein introducing the converter material is carried out before the frame is fully cured.

13. A method of producing an optoelectronic component, comprising:
producing a cover element by a method as claimed in claim 1 ;
providing an optoelectronic semiconductor chip; and
arranging the cover element on a radiation emission surface of the optoelectronic semiconductor chip.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising:
arranging the optoelectronic semiconductor chip on a surface of a carrier;
arranging an encapsulation material on the surface of the carrier such that side surfaces of the optoelectronic semiconductor chip and the cover element are at least partially covered by the encapsulation material.
