Abstract:
1. A method for producing an optoelectronic component, the method comprising: providing a silicon-based growth substrate having a first coefficient of thermal expansion; applying a multilayered nitride-containing buffer layer sequence; epitaxially depositing a layer sequence, the layer sequence having a second coefficient of thermal expansion, that differs from the first coefficient of thermal expansion, and that further comprises an active layer suitable for emitting electromagnetic radiation; forming contacts in the epitaxially deposited layer sequence; forming a mirror layer on that side of the layer sequence that is remote from the multilayered nitride-containing buffer layer sequence; forming an insulating material on the mirror layer, the mirror layer being completely surrounded by said insulating material; applying a carrier substrate on the epitaxially deposited layer sequence provided with contacts; removing the growth substrate; structuring the multilayered buffer layer sequence in order to increase a coupling-out of electromagnetic radiation; and making contact with the epitaxially deposited layer sequence.
