Preparation of a structural element with an electrical contact region including preparation of epitaxially grown semiconductor series, used in the production of light emitting diodes

摘要

Preparation of a structural element with an electrical contact region by:preparation of an epitaxially grown semiconductor series including an n-conductive AlGaIlP or AlGaInSAs-based external layer with an active zone emitting electromagnetic radiation, and application of an electrical contact material, which includes Au and doping material to the external layer, this material containing at least one of Ge, Si, Sn, and Te, and tempering of the external layer. An independent claim is included for a structural element as described above.
