A phosphor with the molecular formula EA.sub.3xRE.sub.xD.sub.2+yE.sub.12yN.sub.20zO.sub.z:M is specified, where EA is an element or a combination of elements from the group of divalent elements, RE is a rare earth element, D is an element or a combination of elements from the group of trivalent elements, E is an element or a combination of elements from the group of tetravalent elements, M is an activator element or a combination of activator elements, 0x3, 0y12 and z=yx, wherein z0. Further, a method for producing a phosphor and a radiation emitting component are specified.

Provided is a fluoride phosphor having higher durability. The fluoride phosphor includes a first fluoride and a second fluoride deposited on at least part of a surface of the first fluoride. The first fluoride has a composition containing an alkali metal, Si, Al, Mn, and F, wherein, when the number of moles of the alkali metal is taken as 2, the total number of moles of Si, Al, and Mn is 0.9 to 1.1; the number of moles of Al is more than 0 and less than 0.10; the number of moles of Mn is more than 0 and less than 0.20; and the number of moles of F is 5.9 to 6.1. The second fluoride has a composition which contains an alkali metal, Si, and F, and which is substantially free of Al and Mn.
