Abstract:
1. An optoelectronic semiconductor chip comprising: a semiconductor body having an n-conducting region and a p-conducting region; a single n-type contact element via which the n-conducting region can be electrically contact-connected through the p-conducting region, wherein the n-type contact element comprises a cutout in the p-conducting region, the n-type contact element laterally delimits the p-conducting region at least in places, the n-type contact element has an n-type contact metallization which directly adjoins the n-conducting region, the p-conducting region electrically conductively connects to a p-type contact metallization, and the n-type contact metallization and the p-type contact metallization are led out from the semiconductor body in a lateral direction so that they laterally exceed the n-conducting region and the p-conducting region and so that they do not overlap one another in a vertical direction; a carrier insulation layer completely covering in a positively locking manner and directly adjoining those sides of the n-type and the p-type contact metallization and the semiconductor body remote from the n-conducting region, wherein the carrier insulation layer at the same time fills partially an area in between the n-type and the p-type contact metallizations; and an auxiliary carrier placed on that side of the n-type and the p-type contact metallization remote from the semiconductor body, wherein the carrier insulation layer completely electrically isolates the n-type and the p-type contact metallization from one another and at the same time from the auxiliary carrier.
