Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optoelectronic module comprising a carrier substrate and a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor components. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing an optoelectronic module.
- wire bonding and soldering or chip mounting with conductive adhesive are predominantly used as techniques for making electrical contact between a chip and a carrier.
- LED arrays for illumination modules arise in this way.
- ever smaller dimensions of the modules such as, for example, the module height and/or the base area of the modules, are desired.
- a component comprises a carrier with a semiconductor chip arranged thereon, which is contact-connected in a planar fashion.
- Modules comprising semiconductor chips contact-connected in a planar fashion advantageously have a small component height, as a result of which preferably a minimum distance between the light exit area of the semiconductor chip and optical components provided can be obtained.
- the base area of the module cannot readily be reduced by the planar contact-connection since conductive structures which are arranged on the carrier and which serve for making electrical contact with the semiconductor chips have to be integrated into the module in an electrically insulated fashion.
- One object of the invention is to provide an optoelectronic module having, in particular, a small structural height and at the same time a compact arrangement of a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- an optoelectronic module comprising a carrier substrate and a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- the carrier substrate has structured conductor tracks for making electrical contact with the radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components each comprise an active layer suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation, a first contact area and a second contact area, wherein the first contact area is in each case arranged on that side of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components which is remote from the carrier substrate.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are provided with an electrically insulating layer, which in each case has a cutout in a region of the first contact area of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- Conductive structures are arranged in regions on the electrically insulating layer.
- One of the conductive structures electrically conductively connects at least the first contact area of a radiation-emitting semiconductor component to a further first contact area of a further radiation-emitting semiconductor component or to a conductor track of the carrier substrate.
- the electrical contact-connection of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components is not effected by wires led at a distance from the carrier substrate, but rather by a conductive structure led at least partly on the electrically insulating layer.
- This type of electrical contact-connection advantageously results in a particularly small structural height of the module.
- a compact module can be provided by virtue of the conductive structure which electrically conductively connects the radiation-emitting semiconductor components among one another or to a conductor track of the carrier substrate.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components of the module can be arranged on the carrier substrate in a space-saving manner. The base area of the module is thus advantageously reduced.
- Optical elements should be understood to mean lenses, for example.
- optical elements are understood to mean components which influence the radiation emitted by a semiconductor component in a targeted manner, in particular change the emission characteristic.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are preferably semiconductor chips, particularly preferably light-emitting diodes (LED).
- LED light-emitting diodes
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components each comprise an active layer.
- the active layer in each case comprises a pn junction, a double heterostructure, a single quantum well (SQW) structure or a multi quantum well (MQW) structure for generating radiation.
- the designation quantum well structure does not exhibit any significance with regard to the dimensionality of the quantization. It therefore encompasses, inter alia, quantum wells, quantum wires and quantum dots and any combination of these structures.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are in each case based on a nitride, phosphide or arsenide compound semiconductor.
- “based on nitride, phosphide or arsenide compound semiconductors” means that the active epitaxial layer sequence or at least one layer thereof comprises a III/V semiconductor material having the composition In x Ga y Al 1-x-y P, In x Ga y Al 1-x-y N or In x Ga y Al 1-x-y As, in each case where 0 ⁇ x ⁇ 1, 0 ⁇ y ⁇ 1 and x+y ⁇ 1.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are each embodied as thin-film semiconductor components.
- a thin-film semiconductor component is considered to be a semiconductor component during whose production the growth substrate onto which a semiconductor layer sequence comprising a semiconductor body of the thin-film semiconductor component was grown, for example epitaxially, has been stripped away.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are in each case connected to a carrier substrate that is different than the growth substrate for the semiconductor layer sequence of the semiconductor component.
- the carrier substrate is advantageously not subject to the comparatively stringent requirements that have to be met by a growth substrate, for instance with regard to the crystal structure. Consequently, more materials are available for the choice of material of the carrier substrate than for the choice of material of the growth substrate.
- the electrically insulating layer is preferably at least partly radiation-transmissive to the radiation emitted by the active layer of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- the radiation emitted by the radiation-emitting semiconductor components can thus be coupled out through the electrically insulating layer without significant optical losses being incurred in the process.
- Absorption of the radiation emitted by the active layer in the electrically insulating layer can thereby advantageously be reduced, such that the efficiency of the module advantageously increases.
- the absorption of the radiation of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components that is emitted by the active layer in the electrically insulating layer is less than 40%, particularly preferably less than 20%.
- the electrically insulating layer is preferably a film, a resist or a polymer layer.
- the electrically insulating layer contains at least one conversion element.
- Suitable conversion elements such as a YAG: Ce powder, for instance, are described in WO 98/12757, for example, the content of which in this respect is hereby incorporated by reference.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components each preferably emit a primary radiation having a wavelength ⁇ 0 .
- the conversion element in the electrically insulating layer preferably at least partly absorbs radiation having the wavelength ⁇ 0 and emits a secondary radiation in a different wavelength range.
- the module emits mixed radiation containing the primary radiation of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components and the secondary radiation of the conversion element.
- the color locus is understood hereinafter to mean the numerical values that describe the color of the emitted light of the module in the CIE color space.
- the electrically insulating layer can contain more than one conversion element. This results in a mixed radiation of the radiation emitted by the module, containing primary radiation and a plurality of secondary radiations of the plurality of conversion elements. Through the use of more than one conversion element, it is advantageously possible to effect a precise color selection of the color locus, thus resulting in a desired color locus of the emitted radiation of the module.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components in each case to emit primary radiation in the same wavelength range. Rather, the radiation-emitting semiconductor components can be embodied such that they at least partly emit radiation in different wavelength ranges. Through a superimposition of the radiation emitted by the semiconductor components, a mixed radiation emitted by the module can thus be generated which is preferably in the white color region of the CIE color space.
- a planarization layer is arranged at least between the individual radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- a planar module surface remote from the carrier substrate can advantageously be obtained by virtue of the planarization layer.
- the electrically insulating layer is arranged on said planar surface.
- the planarization layer is electrically insulating.
- the planarization layer contains at least one conversion element.
- the conversion element absorbs radiation emitted by at least one of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components and converts said radiation into radiation in a different wavelength range, such that mixed radiation of the radiation emitted by the module is generated.
- Optical layers are, inter alia, layers that alter and/or correct the color locus of the radiation emitted by the radiation-emitting semiconductor components in a targeted manner.
- the conversion element is integrated in the electrically insulating layer and/or the planarization layer, and the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are preferably surrounded directly by the planarization layer and/or the electrically insulating layer, the radiation emitted by the radiation-emitting semiconductor components is advantageously converted close to the radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- a compact module is thereby advantageously made possible.
- the electrically insulating layer can thus perform the functions of a light conversion layer, of a carrier layer for the conductive structure, and of a protective layer for the radiation-emitting components.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are jointly surrounded by a frame arranged on the carrier substrate.
- the frame preferably contains a ceramic or a plastic.
- the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are spatially delimited from the surrounding medium.
- the frame advantageously protects the radiation-emitting semiconductor components against, for example, environmental influences such as, for example, impacts or ingress of moisture.
- the carrier substrate is a flexible substrate.
- the carrier substrate can be embodied in a rigid fashion.
- the carrier substrate can be embodied as a film.
- that surface of the carrier substrate on which the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are arranged is non-planar.
- the carrier substrate can therefore have a curvature, for example.
- the surface of the carrier substrate can also have other shapings as long as it is possible to mount the radiation-emitting semiconductor components on one of the surfaces of the carrier substrate.
- the conductive structures are formed by an anisotropic layer which is arranged on the electrically insulating layer and which has electrically conductive regions in each case at least in the region of the first contact area of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- the anisotropic film partially has regions which are conductive.
- This conductivity can arise, for example, as a result of a locally applied pressure or irradiation.
- the conductive regions of the anisotropic film in each case ensure an electrical connection of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- the anisotropic film is preferably at least partly radiation-transmissive to the radiation emitted by the semiconductor components.
- the anisotropic film is particularly preferably at least partly radiation-transmissive to the radiation emitted by the semiconductor components in regions in which no conductivity is formed.
- the anisotropic film can be removed in regions.
- the anisotropic film is preferably removed in each case in the region of the radiation exit side of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- the electrically insulating layer is formed by means of a structured circuit board and the conductive structures are formed by means of electrically conductive webs projecting from the circuit board.
- the webs preferably in each case lead from a contact location of a conductor track of the circuit board to the first contact area of a radiation-emitting semiconductor component.
- the webs are in each case preferably shaped such that they are curved away from the circuit board in the direction of the semiconductor components.
- the circuit board preferably has cutouts which are particularly preferably each arranged above the first contact area of a radiation-emitting semiconductor component.
- the webs are metal webs.
- the circuit board preferably comprises conductor tracks.
- the conductor tracks of the circuit board are in each case preferably arranged in a manner electrically insulated from one another. Particularly preferably, this electrical insulation is effected by means of the cutouts that achieve a distance between the conductor tracks of the circuit board.
- the electrically insulating layer is led in regions at the side areas of the respective radiation-emitting semiconductor component around the respective radiation-emitting semiconductor component.
- the first contact area of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components is in each case led on the electrically insulating layer in such a way that the surface of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components which is remote from the carrier substrate is free of the first contact area.
- the first contact layer being led in this way, a homogeneous energization of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components is ensured. Furthermore, it thus becomes possible to arrange an external electrical connection of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components at any desired regions of the first contact layer.
- the electrically insulating layer is led at the side areas of the semiconductor component over the active layer of the semiconductor component.
- the first contact area of the semiconductor components that is led in this way enables an electrical connection of the semiconductor components or a complex interconnection of the semiconductor components among one another.
- a space-saving arrangement of the semiconductor components on the carrier substrate is advantageously possible as a result.
- Another aspect of the invention is directed to a method for producing an optoelectronic module comprises, in particular, the following steps:

Description
- This is a divisional application from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/121,128 filed Sep. 12, 2011, which is based upon and claims priority from prior International Application No. PCT/DE2009/001217 filed Aug. 25, 2009 and German Patent Application No. 10 2008 049 188.8 filed Sep. 26, 2008, the disclosure content of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entity.
- The present invention relates to an optoelectronic module comprising a carrier substrate and a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor components. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing an optoelectronic module.
- In conventional optoelectronic modules, wire bonding and soldering or chip mounting with conductive adhesive are predominantly used as techniques for making electrical contact between a chip and a carrier. By way of example, LED arrays for illumination modules arise in this way. In the course of miniaturization, ever smaller dimensions of the modules, such as, for example, the module height and/or the base area of the modules, are desired.
- One miniaturized construction and connection technique for LEDs is known from the published
patent application DE 10 353 679 A1, for example. In this case, a component comprises a carrier with a semiconductor chip arranged thereon, which is contact-connected in a planar fashion. - Modules comprising semiconductor chips contact-connected in a planar fashion advantageously have a small component height, as a result of which preferably a minimum distance between the light exit area of the semiconductor chip and optical components provided can be obtained. However, the base area of the module cannot readily be reduced by the planar contact-connection since conductive structures which are arranged on the carrier and which serve for making electrical contact with the semiconductor chips have to be integrated into the module in an electrically insulated fashion.
- Particularly in the case of modules having a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor components, a compact arrangement of the optoelectronic components on the carrier substrate is desired.
- One object of the invention is to provide an optoelectronic module having, in particular, a small structural height and at the same time a compact arrangement of a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- This object is achieved by means of an optoelectronic module comprising the features of patent claim 1 and a method for producing said module comprising the features of patent claim 11. The dependent claims relate to advantageous embodiments and preferred developments of the module and of the method for producing said module.
- This and other objects are attained in accordance with one aspect of the invention directed to an optoelectronic module comprising a carrier substrate and a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor components. The carrier substrate has structured conductor tracks for making electrical contact with the radiation-emitting semiconductor components. The radiation-emitting semiconductor components each comprise an active layer suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation, a first contact area and a second contact area, wherein the first contact area is in each case arranged on that side of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components which is remote from the carrier substrate. The radiation-emitting semiconductor components are provided with an electrically insulating layer, which in each case has a cutout in a region of the first contact area of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components. Conductive structures are arranged in regions on the electrically insulating layer. One of the conductive structures electrically conductively connects at least the first contact area of a radiation-emitting semiconductor component to a further first contact area of a further radiation-emitting semiconductor component or to a conductor track of the carrier substrate.
- Therefore, the electrical contact-connection of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components is not effected by wires led at a distance from the carrier substrate, but rather by a conductive structure led at least partly on the electrically insulating layer. This type of electrical contact-connection advantageously results in a particularly small structural height of the module. Furthermore, a compact module can be provided by virtue of the conductive structure which electrically conductively connects the radiation-emitting semiconductor components among one another or to a conductor track of the carrier substrate. Thus, the radiation-emitting semiconductor components of the module can be arranged on the carrier substrate in a space-saving manner. The base area of the module is thus advantageously reduced.
- Furthermore, a close arrangement of the conductive structure to the radiation-emitting semiconductor components is possible. This type of contact-connection of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components results in a particularly small structural height of the module, which advantageously enables, in particular, a close arrangement of optical elements, for example, to the radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- Optical elements should be understood to mean lenses, for example. In particular, optical elements are understood to mean components which influence the radiation emitted by a semiconductor component in a targeted manner, in particular change the emission characteristic.
- The radiation-emitting semiconductor components are preferably semiconductor chips, particularly preferably light-emitting diodes (LED).
- The radiation-emitting semiconductor components each comprise an active layer. The active layer in each case comprises a pn junction, a double heterostructure, a single quantum well (SQW) structure or a multi quantum well (MQW) structure for generating radiation. In this case, the designation quantum well structure does not exhibit any significance with regard to the dimensionality of the quantization. It therefore encompasses, inter alia, quantum wells, quantum wires and quantum dots and any combination of these structures.
- Preferably, the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are in each case based on a nitride, phosphide or arsenide compound semiconductor. In the present context, “based on nitride, phosphide or arsenide compound semiconductors” means that the active epitaxial layer sequence or at least one layer thereof comprises a III/V semiconductor material having the composition InxGayAl1-x-yP, InxGayAl1-x-yN or InxGayAl1-x-yAs, in each case where 0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1 and x+y≦1.
- In one preferred configuration, the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are each embodied as thin-film semiconductor components. In the context of the application, a thin-film semiconductor component is considered to be a semiconductor component during whose production the growth substrate onto which a semiconductor layer sequence comprising a semiconductor body of the thin-film semiconductor component was grown, for example epitaxially, has been stripped away. The radiation-emitting semiconductor components are in each case connected to a carrier substrate that is different than the growth substrate for the semiconductor layer sequence of the semiconductor component.
- The carrier substrate is advantageously not subject to the comparatively stringent requirements that have to be met by a growth substrate, for instance with regard to the crystal structure. Consequently, more materials are available for the choice of material of the carrier substrate than for the choice of material of the growth substrate.
- The electrically insulating layer is preferably at least partly radiation-transmissive to the radiation emitted by the active layer of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components. The radiation emitted by the radiation-emitting semiconductor components can thus be coupled out through the electrically insulating layer without significant optical losses being incurred in the process. Absorption of the radiation emitted by the active layer in the electrically insulating layer can thereby advantageously be reduced, such that the efficiency of the module advantageously increases. Preferably, the absorption of the radiation of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components that is emitted by the active layer in the electrically insulating layer is less than 40%, particularly preferably less than 20%.
- The electrically insulating layer is preferably a film, a resist or a polymer layer.
- In one preferred configuration, the electrically insulating layer contains at least one conversion element. Suitable conversion elements, such as a YAG: Ce powder, for instance, are described in WO 98/12757, for example, the content of which in this respect is hereby incorporated by reference.
- The radiation-emitting semiconductor components each preferably emit a primary radiation having a wavelength λ0. The conversion element in the electrically insulating layer preferably at least partly absorbs radiation having the wavelength λ0 and emits a secondary radiation in a different wavelength range. As a result, the module emits mixed radiation containing the primary radiation of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components and the secondary radiation of the conversion element.
- Through a suitable choice of the conversion element, it is possible to effect a change in the color locus of the radiation emitted by the radiation-emitting semiconductor components. As a result, a desired color locus of the radiation emitted by the module can advantageously be obtained.
- The color locus is understood hereinafter to mean the numerical values that describe the color of the emitted light of the module in the CIE color space.
- Alternatively, the electrically insulating layer can contain more than one conversion element. This results in a mixed radiation of the radiation emitted by the module, containing primary radiation and a plurality of secondary radiations of the plurality of conversion elements. Through the use of more than one conversion element, it is advantageously possible to effect a precise color selection of the color locus, thus resulting in a desired color locus of the emitted radiation of the module.
- It should be noted that it is not absolutely necessary for the radiation-emitting semiconductor components in each case to emit primary radiation in the same wavelength range. Rather, the radiation-emitting semiconductor components can be embodied such that they at least partly emit radiation in different wavelength ranges. Through a superimposition of the radiation emitted by the semiconductor components, a mixed radiation emitted by the module can thus be generated which is preferably in the white color region of the CIE color space.
- In one preferred configuration, a planarization layer is arranged at least between the individual radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- A planar module surface remote from the carrier substrate can advantageously be obtained by virtue of the planarization layer. Preferably, the electrically insulating layer is arranged on said planar surface. Particularly preferably, the planarization layer is electrically insulating.
- In one configuration of the module, the planarization layer contains at least one conversion element. Particularly preferably, the conversion element absorbs radiation emitted by at least one of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components and converts said radiation into radiation in a different wavelength range, such that mixed radiation of the radiation emitted by the module is generated.
- By virtue of the fact that the conversion element or the conversion elements is/are integrated directly in the electrically insulating layer and/or in the planarization layer, advantageously no further optical layers are required. Optical layers are, inter alia, layers that alter and/or correct the color locus of the radiation emitted by the radiation-emitting semiconductor components in a targeted manner. By virtue of the fact that the conversion element is integrated in the electrically insulating layer and/or the planarization layer, and the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are preferably surrounded directly by the planarization layer and/or the electrically insulating layer, the radiation emitted by the radiation-emitting semiconductor components is advantageously converted close to the radiation-emitting semiconductor components. A compact module is thereby advantageously made possible.
- In this case, the electrically insulating layer can thus perform the functions of a light conversion layer, of a carrier layer for the conductive structure, and of a protective layer for the radiation-emitting components.
- In one preferred configuration of the module, the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are jointly surrounded by a frame arranged on the carrier substrate.
- The frame preferably contains a ceramic or a plastic. By means of the frame, the radiation-emitting semiconductor components are spatially delimited from the surrounding medium.

- A further possibility for applying the conductive structures consists in directly printing conductor tracks onto the electrically insulating layer.
- In a further preferred configuration, the conductive structures are formed by means of an anisotropic layer which is arranged on the electrically insulating layer and which is embodied in electrically conductive fashion at least in the region of the first contact area of the radiation-emitting semiconductor components.
- The electrically conductive regions of the anisotropic layer are preferably formed by means of a printing method, a thermal method, or irradiation, for example by means of a UV laser.

In this case, the laminated-on film comprises conductive structures, for example metallizations. These conductive structures are preferably already arranged in the film in such a way as to enable electrical contact to be made with the radiation-emitting semiconductor components in an envisaged manner.

FIG. 1 illustrates an optoelectronic module comprising a carrier substrate 1 and a plurality of radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2. The radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 each comprise an active layer for generating electromagnetic radiation, afirst contact area 21 and asecond contact area 22. Thefirst contact area 21 is arranged on that surface of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 which is remote from the carrier substrate 1. - The radiation-emitting
semiconductor components 2 are preferably embodied as semiconductor chips, particularly preferably in each case a light-emitting diode (LED). - The active layers of the radiation-emitting
semiconductor components 2 each comprise a pn junction, a double heterostructure, a single quantum well structure or a multi quantum well structure for generating radiation. Preferably, the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 are in each case based on a nitride, phosphide or arsenide compound semiconductor. - The carrier substrate 1 has structured conductor tracks for making electrical contact with the radiation-emitting
semiconductor components 2. In particular, preferably a radiation-emittingsemiconductor component 2 is respectively arranged on a conductor track of the carrier substrate 1. That means that thesecond contact area 22 is in each case in mechanical and electrical contact with a conductor track of the carrier substrate 1. - Preferably, the conductor tracks on which a radiation-emitting
semiconductor component 2 is respectively arranged are electrically insulated from one another. The radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 are therefore arranged in a manner electrically insulated from one another on the conductor tracks of the carrier substrate 1. - Preferably, a
planarization layer 3 is arranged between the individual radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2. A planar module surface remote from the carrier substrate 1 can advantageously be produced by virtue of theplanarization layer 3. Preferably, theplanarization layer 3 is electrically insulated; particularly preferably, theplanarization layer 3 contains a dielectric material. - Preferably, the
planarization layer 3 is based on silicone. In particular, theplanarization layer 3 contains silicone. Additionally or alternatively, theplanarization layer 3 can contain other polymers or inorganic materials. - The height of the
planarization layer 3 can exceed the height of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2. In particular, theplanarization layer 3 can be led beyond the height of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2, such that it runs at least partly over those surfaces of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 which are remote from the carrier substrate 1. In particular, an improved electrical insulation of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 is thereby ensured. In this case, theplanarization layer 3 preferably consists of a material that is at least partly radiation-transmissive to the radiation emitted by the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2. - The
planarization layer 3 can furthermore contain at least oneconversion element 6. Preferably, theconversion element 6 absorbs the radiation emitted by at least one of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 and converts said radiation into radiation in a different wavelength range, such that mixed radiation of the radiation emitted by the module is generated. - Through a suitable choice of the
conversion element 6, it is possible to effect a change in the color locus of the radiation emitted by the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2. As a result, a desired color locus of the radiation emitted by the module can advantageously be obtained. Particularly preferably, the module emits radiation in the white color locus range. - Preferably, the radiation-emitting
semiconductor components 2 are jointly surrounded by aframe 7 arranged on the carrier substrate 1. - The
frame 7 preferably contains a ceramic or a plastic. In the exemplary embodiment fromFIG. 1 , the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 and theplanarization layer 3 are spatially delimited from the surroundings by means of theframe 7. Theframe 7 advantageously protects the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 against, for example, environmental influences such as impacts, for example. - An electrically insulating
layer 4 is preferably at least partly arranged on the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 and on theplanarization layer 3. The electrically insulatinglayer 4 has in each case a cutout in a region of thefirst contact area 21 of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2. - The electrically insulating
layer 4 is preferably at least partly radiation-transmissive to the radiation of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 which is emitted by the active layer. The radiation emitted by the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 can thus be coupled out through the electrically insulatinglayer 4 without significant optical losses being incurred in the process. - In the exemplary embodiments in
FIGS. 1 to 7 , the radiation coupling-out of the radiation emitted by the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 from the module is preferably effected on that side of the module which is remote from the carrier substrate 1. - The electrically insulating
layer 4 is preferably a film, a resist or a polymer layer. - The electrically insulating
layer 4 can, just like theplanarization layer 3, contain at least one conversion element (not illustrated). The conversion element in the electrically insulating layer preferably at least partly absorbs radiation of the radiation emitted by the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 and emits a secondary radiation in a different wavelength range. As a result, the module emits mixed radiation containing both primary radiation of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 and secondary radiation of the conversion element. - By virtue of the fact that the conversion element or the conversion elements is or are integrated directly in the electrically insulating
layer 4 and/or in theplanarization layer 3, advantageously no further additional optical layers are required. Optical layers are, for example, layers which alter and/or correct the color locus of the radiation emitted by the semiconductor components in a targeted manner. The radiation emitted by thesemiconductor components 2 can thus advantageously be converted close to thesemiconductor components 2. A compact module is made possible. - The electrically insulating
layer 4 has cutouts in regions. Preferably, a cutout in the electrically insulatinglayer 4 is formed in each case in a region of thefirst contact area 21 of a radiation-emittingsemiconductor component 2. - Preferably, the electrically insulating
layer 4 is embodied in one piece. - On that surface of the module which is remote from the carrier substrate 1, conductive structures are arranged in regions on the electrically insulating layer 4 (not illustrated).

FIG. 1 . The module in exemplary embodiment 1 accordingly shows a module during the production process. - In the exemplary embodiment in
FIG. 1 , astencil 5 is arranged on that side of the module which is remote from the carrier substrate 1. Thestencil 5 is employed during the production step of applying the conductive structures. - The
stencil 5 is used for the structuring of the conductive structures. In particular, thestencil 5 preferably has cutouts in the region of the cutouts of the electrically insulatinglayer 4. - The conductive structures are applied to the electrically insulating
layer 4 or to thestencil 5 preferably by means of a printing method. By means of a printing method, in particular a screen printing or pad printing method, it is thus possible to apply a, preferably monolayer, conductive structure, in particular a metallization layer, for the interconnection of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2. - The structuring of the conductive structures is preferably formed by means of the
stencil 5 such that the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 are electrically conductively connected to one another or to conductor tracks of the carrier body by means of the conductive structures in an envisaged manner. Consequently, the conductive structures electrically connect at least the first contact area of a radiation-emittingsemiconductor component 2 to a further first contact area of a further radiation-emittingsemiconductor component 2 or to a conductor track of the carrier substrate 1 (not illustrated). - After application of the conductive structures, the
stencil 5 is removed. Therefore, thestencil 5 is arranged on the module only temporarily during the production process. - An exemplary embodiment of a finished module comprising

In particular, theconductive structures 8 are applied on the electrically insulatinglayer 4 in such a way that the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 are electrically contact-connected among one another or to a conductor track of the carrier substrate 1. In particular, theconductive structures 8 are situated in each case in the region of thefirst contact area 21 of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2. - The radiation-emitting
semiconductor components 2 can thus be grounded separately. Alternatively, the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 can be electrically conductively connected to one another. - The exemplary embodiment in
FIG. 3 differs from the exemplary embodiment fromFIG. 2 in that the carrier substrate 1 is a flexible substrate. In particular, that surface of the carrier substrate 1 on which the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 are arranged is non-planar. The carrier substrate 1 can have a curvature, for example. In particular, the surface of the carrier substrate 1 can also have other shapings as long as mounting of the radiation-emittingsemiconductor components 2 is possible. - In particular, the module can be mounted in rotatable fashion in the exemplary embodiment in
FIG. 3 . This advantageously simplifies the production of the module, for example. During the method step of writing the conductive structures by means of a nozzle, the module can be moved, for example rotated, for example in accordance with a desired structuring of the conductive structures. - An excerpt from an optoelectronic module is illustrated in the exemplary embodiment in
