RADIATION-EMITTING SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a radiation-emitting semiconductor component with a radiation-permeable substrate (1) having a radiation-emitting layer (2) arranged on the lower side thereof, wherein said substrate (1) has inclined side surfaces (3), wherein the index of refraction of the substrate (1) is greater than the index of refraction of the radiation-producing layer, wherein a non-illuminated substrate area (4) results from the difference in the index of refraction and into which no photons can be directly injected from the radiation-producing layer, and wherein the substrate (1) is provided with essentially perpendicular side surfaces (5) in the non-illuminated area thereof. One advantage of the component is that it can be produced with a better surface yield from a wafer.
