Electromagnetic Radiation Emitting Device and Method of Applying a Converter Layer to an Electromagnetic Radiation Emitting Device

A method comprising:

• applying converter elements to a surface of a carrier;
• applying the converter elements to an electromagnetic radiation emitting device by applying the carrier to the electromagnetic radiation emitting device such that the surface of the carrier with the applied converter elements faces the electromagnetic radiation emitting device;
• and
• forming a converter layer on the electromagnetic radiation emitting device by depositing a plurality of thin layers on the converter elements using an atomic layer deposition process.

An electromagnetic radiation emitting device comprising:

• a semiconductor chip configured to emit electromagnetic radiation;
• at least one converter layer located on the semiconductor chip,
• wherein the at least one converter layer has a plurality of thin layers in which converter elements are embedded, and
• wherein each of the plurality of thin layers has a thickness of at most 100 nm;
• and
• at least one further layer arranged on the converter layer,
• wherein the converter layer and the at least one further layer have different refractive indices.
