LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE CHIP

摘要

A light-emitting diode chip comprises a semiconductor body (1) having a first (1A) and a second region (1B); an active zone (2) within the semiconductor body (1), which active zone, during the operation of the light-emitting diode chip (100), emits electromagnetic radiation through a radiation coupling-out area (11) formed at least in places by a first main area (111) of the semiconductor body (1); at least one trench (3) in the semiconductor body (1) wherein parts of the semiconductor body (1) are removed in the region of the trench, wherein the at least one trench (3) extends at least as far as the active zone (2), the at least one trench (3) completely surrounds the first region (1A) in a lateral direction, and the second region (1B) completely surrounds the at least one trench (3) and the first region (1A) in a lateral direction.
