COMPONENT HAVING IMPROVED OUTPUT COUPLING PROPERTIES

摘要

A component (100) comprising a carrier (1) and a semiconductor body (2) arranged on the carrier is specified, wherein the semiconductor body has an active layer (23) designed to generate electromagnetic radiation (L) during the operation of the component. The component additionally comprises an electrical contact layer (61) on a radiation exit surface, wherein the component contains, in direct proximity to the electrical contact layer, a shielding structure (4) designed to prevent the electromagnetic radiation generated by the active layer from impinging on the contact layer.
