Patent ID: 8711893

Claim:
An optoelectronic component comprising: an epitaxial layer based on a nitride compound semiconductor, the epitaxial layer sequence having an active layer; an epitaxial growth substrate of Al 1-x (In y Ga 1-y ) x N or In 1-x Ga x N, where 0<x<0.99 and 0≦y≦1; and multiple buffer layers of In y Al x Ga 1-x-y N, where x<0.9 and y<0.1, applied on the epitaxial growth substrate, wherein the epitaxial layer sequence comprises a Distributed Bragg Reflector comprising multiple layer pairs, each pair containing a first layer of In y1 Al x1 Ga 1-x1-y1 N and a second layer of In y2 Al x2 Ga 1-x2-y2 N, wherein x1>0.01 and x2>0.05 applies for the aluminum content.
