Housing for high-power LEDs

An optoelectronic component, comprising:

• at least one radiation-emitting and/or radiation-receiving optoelectronic functional element;
• and
• a housing comprising:
• a composite made up of at least a base part and a head part, which are connected by a first glass layer positioned between a top face of the base part and a bottom face of the head part;
• and
• a section of the top face of the base part defines an assembly region for the at least one optoelectronic functional element so that the base part forms a heat sink for the at least one optoelectronic functional element,
• wherein the head part extends, at least in sections, over a peripheral extent of the assembly region and forms over the assembly region a passage area for radiation emitted from and/or to be received by the at least one optoelectronic functional element,
• wherein the head part and the base part comprise copper, and the top face of the base part is pre-oxidized and the bottom face of the head part is pre-oxidized, so that a weight of oxide with a basis weight of about 0.02 to about 0.25 mg/cm2 is formed, and
• wherein the at least one optoelectronic functional element is disposed in the housing.

A method for producing an optoelectronic functional element housing, comprising

• providing at least one base part whose top face defines, at least in sections, an assembly region for the optoelectronic functional element so that the base part forms a heat sink for the optoelectronic functional element;
• providing at least one head part that extends at least in sections over a peripheral extent of the assembly region and over the assembly region to form a passage area for the radiation emitted from and/or to be received by the optoelectronic functional element, wherein the base part is in a matrix with a plurality of base parts and/or the head part is in a matrix with a plurality of head parts;
• providing at least a first glass layer between the top face of the base part and the bottom face of the head part;
• assembling the base part, the first glass layer, and the head part;
• and
• heating the first glass layer until the glass reaches a viscosity at which the glass adheres and the base part and the head part to form a composite at least by the first glass layer so that a plurality of housings are produced at the same time,
• wherein the housings are fastened to the matrix with the plurality of base parts and/or to the matrix with the plurality of head parts through the base part and/or the head part by connecting crosspieces.
