A method for producing a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor chips, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate wafer having disposed thereon a semiconductor layer sequence having an active layer configured to generate electromagnetic radiation, wherein the substrate wafer is transparent to the electromagnetic radiation;
- introducing fracture nucleations in the substrate wafer along separation lines;
- applying a reflective layer to a main surface of the substrate wafer over its entire area;
- and
- mechanically breaking the substrate wafer along the separation lines to form a plurality of radiation-emitting semiconductor chips,
- wherein a transparent resin layer is disposed between the main surface of the substrate and the reflective layer.
