OPTOELECTRONIC SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENT WITH CURRENT SPREADING LAYER

摘要

An optoelectronic semiconductor component with a semiconductor body (10) and a current spreading layer (3) is disclosed. The current spreading layer (3) is applied at least on parts of the semiconductor body (10). The current spreading layer (3) contains a metal (1) that forms a transparent, electroconductive metal oxide (2) in the current spreading layer, and the concentration (x) of the metal (1) decreases from the side of the current spreading layer (3) facing the semiconductor body (10) to the side of the current spreading layer (3) away from the semiconductor body (10). Also disclosed is a method for producing this type of semiconductor component.
