Semiconductor layer sequence and method for producing a semiconductor layer sequence

Abstract

A semiconductor layer sequence includes a first nitridic compound semiconductor layer, a second nitridic compound semiconductor layer, and an intermediate layer arranged between the first and second nitridic compound semiconductor layers. Beginning with the first nitridic compound semiconductor layer, the intermediate layer and the second nitridic compound semiconductor layer are arranged one after the other in a direction of growth of the semiconductor layer sequence and are adjacent to each other in direct succession. The intermediate layer has a lattice constant different from the lattice constant of the first nitridic compound semiconductor layer at least at some points. The second nitridic compound semiconductor layer is lattice-adapted to the intermediate layer at least at some points.
