Patent ID: 8723207

Claim:
A radiation-emitting semiconductor component, comprising: a substrate; a semiconductor layer structure which includes an active semiconductor layer which, in operation, emits radiation with a spectral distribution; electrical contacts for applying a current to the layer structure; a coating layer which at least partially surrounds the active semiconductor layer and comprises a stack of electrically insulating layers to form an interference edge cut-off filter, the coating layer being operable to substantially hold back a short-wave component and to virtually unimpairedly transmit a longer-wave component of the radiation emitted by the active semiconductor layer; wherein the longer-wave component transmitted by the coating layer comprises a dominant wavelength of the radiation emitted by the active semiconductor layer; and wherein the coating layer completely covers a top face of the semiconductor layer structure and side faces of the semiconductor layer structure apart from a region of the top face that is provided with an electrical contact of said electrical contacts.
