OPTOELECTRONIC SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP, OPTOELECTRONIC COMPONENT, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN OPTOELECTRONIC COMPONENT

摘要

The invention relates to a semiconductor chip comprising a contact layer (6) that is not optimal for many common applications. For example, the contact layer is too thin to tolerate an operating current provided for the semiconductor chip. The invention further relates to an optoelectronic component into which the semiconductor chip may be integrated such that the suboptimal configuration of the contact layer is compensated. In the component, the semiconductor chip is attached to a carrier body (10) such that the contact layer is disposed on a side of the semiconductor body facing away from the carrying body. The semiconductor chip and the carrier body are at least partially covered by an electrical insulating layer (3) and an electrical conductor (14) placed on the insulating layer extends laterally away from the semiconductor body and contacts at least a partial surface of the contact layer. The invention additionally relates to an advantageous method for producing the component.
