Abstract
A light-emitting semiconductor component includes a thin film stack having a front side and a rear side, a photon-emitting zone formed in an active layer, and contact points formed on the front side and rear side of the thin film stack to impress current into the active layer. The photon-emitting zone is separated physically from the contact points in the plane of the thin film stack. As a result, the absorption of the radiation at the contact points can be minimized.
Claims25
A light-emitting semiconductor component, comprising:
- a thin film stack having a front side and a rear side, said film stack including an active layer formed with a photon-emitting zone;
- and
- a plurality of contact points for impressing current into said active layer;
- said plurality of said contact points formed on said front side and said rear side;
- and
- said photon-emitting zone being separated physically from said plurality of said contact points.
