Patent ID: 8791548

Claim:
An optoelectronic component comprising: an optoelectronic semiconductor chip comprising a semiconductor body and a metallic, electrically conductive contact layer overlying the semiconductor body, wherein the contact layer has a thickness of less than or equal to 1 μm; a carrier body, wherein the semiconductor chip is disposed on the carrier body so that the contact layer is arranged on a side of the semiconductor body that is remote from the carrier body; an electrically isolating layer, wherein the semiconductor chip and the carrier body are covered at least partly with the electrically isolating layer, wherein the electrically isolating layer has a recess over the metallic, electrically conductive contact layer; and an electrical conductor over the isolating layer, wherein the electrical conductor contacts at least a part of an outer surface of the contact layer and extends laterally away from the semiconductor body, wherein the electrical conductor, as seen from the carrier, is over the electrically isolating layer, a part of the electrical conductor being applied through the recess so that the electrical conductor electrically connects to the metallic, electrically conductive contact layer of the semiconductor body.
