Patent ID: 8648368

Claim:
An optoelectronic component comprising: a carrier; a metallic mirror layer arranged on the carrier; a first passivation layer arranged on a region of the metallic mirror layer; a semiconductor layer that generates an active region being active during electrical operation arranged on the first passivation layer; a second passivation layer comprising two regions, wherein the first region is arranged on the top face of the semiconductor layer, and the second region being free of the semiconductor layer is arranged on the metallic mirror layer; and wherein the first and second regions are separated from one another by a region which surrounds the first passivation layer and which is free of the second passivation layer, the semiconductor layer has lateral mesa flanks and overhanging edges with respect to the first passivation layer, the first passivation layer is arranged beneath the edges, and the semiconductor layer projects beyond the first passivation layer.
