Claim 10:
11. A method of producing a semiconductor device for emitting electromagnetic radiation, comprising the steps of:
producing a layer stack structure, having at least one semiconductor material, by superimposing an n-doped layer, an active layer designed to emit electromagnetic radiation during operation, and a p-doped layer, the active layer being located between an n-doped and a p-doped layer, and
producing a connection structure that includes conductor layers and at least one insulator layer,
by arranging conductor layers, with a parallel spacing along a first direction that is parallel to the active layer of the layer stack structure, and arranging at least one insulator layer between at least two conductor layers,
electrically connecting at least one or more conductor layers to the p-doped layer of the layer stack structure, comprising the further steps of:
electrically subdividing the layer stack structure 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,
forming the at least two partial layer stacks in such a way that they have a longitudinal axis orthogonal to the second direction,
wherein the conductor layers and/or the insulator layers of the connection structure each has 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 has an extent of 50-5000 nm, and preferably of 200-2000 nm, vertical in relation to its longitudinal axis.
