RADIATION-EMITTING SEMICONDUCTOR ELEMENT, METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF AND RADIATION EMITTING OPTICAL COMPONENT

摘要

The invention relates to a radiation-emitting semiconductor component with a multi-layered structure (100), containing a radiation emitting active layer (10), with electrical contacts (30, 40), for current feed to the multi-layer structure (100) and with a radiation transparent window layer (20). The window layer is arranged on the side of the multi-layer structure (100), facing the main radiating direction of the semiconductor component and comprises at least one side wall, with a first side wall part (20a), which is inclined, concave or stepped relative to a mid-axis of the semiconductor body perpendicular to the multiple layer series. Seen from the multiple layer structure the side wall continues around the rear side to form a second side wall part (20b), perpendicular to the multiple layer structure, in other words, parallel to the mid-axis. The window layer (20) section which comprises the second side wall part (20b) forms a mounting socket for the semiconductor component. The first and second side wall parts are preferably produced with a shaped edge by means of a saw blade. In a preferred optical component the semiconductor component is mounted with the window layer towards the bottom in a reflector bowl.
