Method for producing an optoelectronic nitride compound semiconductor component

摘要

A method of producing a nitride compound semiconductor component includes providing a growth substrate having a silicon surface, growing a buffer layer containing an aluminum-containing nitride compound semiconductor onto the silicon surface, growing a stress layer structure that produces a compressive stress, and growing a functional semiconductor layer sequence onto the stress layer structure, wherein the stress layer structure includes a first GaN semiconductor layer and a second GaN semiconductor layer, a masking layer is embedded in the first GaN semiconductor layer, an Al(Ga)N-intermediate layer that produces a compressive stress is disposed between the first GaN semiconductor layer and the second GaN semiconductor layer, and the stress layer structure does not contain further Al(Ga)N-intermediate layers.
