Patent ID: 6936853

Claim:
A light-emitting semiconductor component having: a thin-film stack ( 30 ) having an active layer ( 34 ); and front- and rear-side contact regions ( 40 , 42 ), which are formed on a front side ( 60 ) and a rear side ( 62 ) of the thin-film stack ( 30 ) and serve for impressing current into the active layer ( 34 ), wherein the thin-film stack ( 30 ) has a light generation region ( 50 ), in which photons are generated by recombination of charge carriers, and has a light coupling-out region ( 54 ), in which light is coupled out from the component, a part of the light coupling-out region ( 54 ) being separated separated from the light generation region ( 50 ), and the light generation region ( 50 ) being spatially separated from the contact regions ( 40 , 42 ) in the plane of the thin-film stack ( 30 ).
