Patent ID: 8835937

Claim:
An optoelectronic component, comprising: a semiconductor function region with an active zone and a lateral main direction of extension, wherein said semiconductor function region is provided with at least one opening extending through said active zone in a direction orthogonal to the main direction, wherein the semiconductor function region with the active zone is a radiation-emitting or radiation-receiving component, and wherein the active zone is configured to generate at least one of electroluminescent radiation and an electrical signal when incident radiation generates charge carriers in the active zone; a connecting conductor material that is disposed in the region of said opening and electrically isolated from said active zone at least in a subregion of said opening; a carrier, wherein the semiconductor function region is supported by the carrier; and a mirror layer arranged between the semiconductor function region and the carrier, wherein the opening penetrates through the mirror layer; and wherein the opening is completely surrounded and bounded in the lateral direction by the mirror layer in a region where the opening penetrates through the mirror layer.
