- the converter element 108 can directly adjoin the second semiconductor layer 130 .
- the converter material 108 can be formed as a plate which is connected to the semiconductor layer stack 103 via the adhesive 119 .
- the adhesive 119 can be formed as a layer.
- the adhesive 119 can fill the gap between the converter element 108 and the edge area 104 fill out.
- the converter element 108 overlaps with the edge area 104 of the substrate. This means that the converter element also covers regions of the substrate in which the semiconductor layer stack 103 is not arranged.
- the converter element 108 can adjoin air on the side facing away from the semiconductor layer stack 103 .
- a layer thickness of the converter element 108 can be less than 300 ⁇ m.
- the thickness of the converter element 108 can be less than half a chip edge length.
- the converter element 108 can have a comparatively high degree of conversion.
- a degree of conversion, i . H . the ratio of converted photons to the total number of photons emitted can be greater than 50%.
- the optoelectronic semiconductor component 10 is sealed laterally via a polymer material or a silicone resin 113, for example a silicone resin 113 which contains a TiCp filler and is designed as a white silicone resin.
- no conductive or semiconductive layers are provided over the gold layer 105 in the peripheral region.
- the gold layer 105 is disposed over an edge region 104 of the substrate 100 .
- the term “edge area” of the substrate here means the area of the substrate that is not covered with semiconductor material.

- insulating layers such as the insulating layer 116 or the dielectric Mirror layer 121 can be arranged between gold layer 105 in the edge area and converter element 108 .
- electromagnetic radiation that has been generated by the optoelectronic semiconductor layer stack 103 is absorbed by the converter element 108 .
- Electromagnetic radiation is then emitted by the converter element 108 with a larger wavelength in any direction. This radiation will hit the gold layer in the edge area and will be reflected by it. Since the wavelength of the generated electromagnetic radiation is increased by the absorption by the converter element 108 and the subsequent emission, the reflectivity of the gold layer 105 can be skilfully exploited.
- the gold layer 105 has an increased reflectivity for longer-wave radiation. As a result, a high proportion of the electromagnetic radiation that hits the edge region 104 of the substrate 100 can be reflected back through the gold layer 105 in the direction of the converter element.
- the decoupling efficiency of the optoelectronic semiconductor component is increased.
- the gold layer provides a comparatively high reflectivity in a wavelength range that corresponds to that of the light emitted by the converter element. More specifically, the gold layer is located at a location where radiation emitted from the converter element 108 impinges.
- the gold layer is located at a location where radiation emitted from the converter element 108 impinges.
- gold has a reduced reflectivity in a blue wavelength range
- a high reflectivity can be achieved due to the red shift of the incident radiation. Accordingly, the increased reflectivity of gold for longer wavelengths can be exploited through a clever arrangement of the gold layer.
- a highly reflective metal that is protected from environmental influences, is used in the edge area. Overall, the brightness of the LED can be increased as a result.

- the gold layer 105 is isolated from the second current spreading layer 115 .
