Patent ID: 8878227

Claim:
An optoelectronic semiconductor chip comprising a carrier and a semiconductor body having a semiconductor layer sequence, said semiconductor body being arranged on the carrier wherein: an emission region and a detection region are formed in the semiconductor body having the semiconductor layer sequence; the semiconductor layer sequence comprises an active region arranged between a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer and provided in the emission region to generate radiation; the first semiconductor layer is arranged on the side of the active region facing away from the carrier; the emission region has a recess extending through the active region; the first semiconductor layer electrically conductively connects to a first contact in the emission region via a first connection layer, wherein the first connection layer extends in the recess from the first semiconductor layer in the direction of the carrier, and the first connection layer extends through the recess towards the carrier and the first connection layer extends between the second semiconductor layer and the carrier when seen in a vertical direction which runs perpendicular to a main extension plane of the semiconductor layers of the semiconductor body; the second semiconductor layer electrically conductively connects to a second contact via a second connection layer; and the detection region electrically conductively connects to an additional contact.
