Patent ID: 7446344

Claim:
A radiation-emitting semiconductor chip, comprising: a multilayer structure containing a radiation-emitting active layer; and a window layer, which is transmissive to a radiation emitted by the radiation-emitting active layer and is arranged downstream of the multilayer structure with a first main area facing the multilayer structure; wherein the window layer has at least one peripheral side area having, in a direction away from the first main area toward a second main area remote from the multilayer structure, a first side area region which is beveled, curved or stepped such that the window layer widens with respect to a size of the first main area; wherein the peripheral side area of the multilayer structure and at least a part of the beveled, curved or stepped first side area region are coated with a continuous electrically insulating layer, wherein a beveled, curved or stepped second side area region is arranged downstream of the first side area region in a further direction toward the second main area, over a length of which the second side area region of the window layer tapers again, and wherein a peripheral protrusion is formed by the beveled, curved or stepped first and second side area regions of the window layer, which protrusion projects laterally beyond the first main area when viewed from the multilayer structure and projects laterally beyond the peripheral side area of the multilayer structure.
