Method of producing a radiation-emitting semiconductor chip and radiation-emitting semiconductor chip

Abstract

A method of producing a radiation-emitting semiconductor chip includes providing a growth substrate, epitaxially growing a buffer layer on the growth substrate such that a plurality of V-pits is generated in the buffer layer, epitaxially growing a radiation-generating active semiconductor layer sequence on the buffer layer, wherein the structure of the V-pits continues into the active semiconductor layer sequence, epitaxially growing a further layer sequence on the active semiconductor layer sequence, wherein the structure of the V-pits continues into the further layer sequence, selectively removing the further layer sequence from facets of the V-pits, wherein the further layer sequence remains on a main surface of the active semiconductor layer sequence, and epitaxially growing a p-doped semiconductor layer that completely or partially fills the V-pits.
