Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor device for emitting electromagnetic radiation, comprising:
at least one layer stack structure, having at least one semiconductor material, which comprises the following:
at least one n-doped layer,
at least one active layer, which is designed to emit electromagnetic radiation during operation, and
at least one p-doped layer,
the layers being arranged in parallel one above the other, and the active layer being located between an n-doped and a p-doped layer, and
the semiconductor device furthermore comprising
a connection structure comprising conductor layers and at least one insulator layer,
the conductor layers being arranged, parallel to and spaced apart from one another, along a first direction that is parallel to the active layer of the layer stack structure, and at least one insulator layer being arranged between at least two conductor layers,
one or more conductor layers being electrically connected to the p-doped layer of the layer stack structure,
the layer stack structure being electrically subdivided by the insertion at least one insulator layer, such that there are created at least two partial layer stacks that are arranged, parallel to and spaced apart from one another, along a second direction that is parallel to the active layer of the layer stack structure,
the at least two partial layer stacks being formed in such a way that they have a longitudinal axis orthogonal to the second direction,
the conductor layers and/or the insulator layers of the connection structure each having a layer thickness of 10-5000 nm, and preferably 200-2000 nm, and
a respective partial layer stack of the at least two partial layer stacks of the layer stack structure having an extent of 50-5000 nm, and preferably of 200-2000 nm, vertical in relation to its longitudinal axis.
