Optoelectronic apparatuses with post-molded reflector cups and methods for manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. A method for manufacturing a plurality of optoelectronic apparatuses that each include one or more packaged optoelectronic semiconductor devices (POSDs),wherein each POSD includes one or more optoelectronic elements encapsulated by a light transmissive molding compound, andwherein each POSD includes a bottom surface including electrical contacts,the method comprising:
- (a) attaching the bottom surfaces of a plurality of POSDs to a carrier substrate so that there is a space between each POSD and its one or more neighboring POSD(s);
(b) molding a light reflective molding compound around a portion each of the POSDs attached to the carrier substrate so that a reflector cup is formed from the light reflective molding compound for each of the POSDs; and
(c) removing the carrier substrate so that the electrical contacts on the bottom surfaces of the POSDs are exposed.

Abstract
A method for manufacturing a plurality of optoelectronic apparatuses include attaching bottom surfaces of a plurality of packaged optoelectronic semiconductor devices (POSDs) to a carrier substrate (e.g., a tape) so that there is a space between each POSD and its one or more neighboring POSD(s). A light reflective molding compound is molded around a portion each of the POSDs attached to the carrier substrate so that a reflector cup is formed from the light reflective molding compound for each of the POSDs. The light reflective molding compound can also attach the POSDs to one another. Alternatively, an opaque molding compound can be molded around each POSD/reflector cup to attach the POSDs/reflector cups to one another and form a light barrier between each POSD and its neighboring POSD(s). The carrier substrate is thereafter removed so that electrical contacts on the bottom surfaces of the POSDs are exposed.
