Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a conversion element for an optoelectronic component comprising the steps of: A) Producing a first layer, for that purpose: A1) Providing a polysiloxane precursor material, which is liquid, A2) Mixing a phosphor to the polysiloxane precursor material, wherein the phosphor is suitable for conversion of radiation, A3) Curing the arrangement produced under step A2) to produce a first layer having a phosphor mixed in a cured polysiloxane material, which comprises a three-dimensional crosslinking network based primarily on T-units, where the ratio of T-units to all units is greater than 80%, B) Producing a phosphor-free second layer, for that purpose: B1) Providing the polysiloxane precursor material, which is liquid, B2) Mixing a filler to the polysiloxane precursor material, wherein the filler is in a cured and powdered form, wherein the filler has a refractive index, which is equal to the refractive index of the cured polysiloxane material, B3) Curing the arrangement produced under step B2) to produce a second layer having a filler mixed in the cured polysiloxane material, which comprises a three-dimensional crosslinking network based p…
