Patent ID: 8569079

Claim:
A method of producing an optoelectronic semiconductor component comprising: providing a first wafer having a patterned surface, wherein the patterned surface is formed at least in places by elevations having first and second heights, and the first height is greater than the second height; providing a second wafer; applying a photoresist to outer areas of the second wafer; patterning a surface of the photoresist facing away from the second wafer by impressing the patterned surface of the first wafer into the photoresist, wherein the elevations are impressed as trenches having a first and second depth into the photoresist; and applying a patterning method to the patterned surface of the photoresist, wherein 1) the structure applied on the photoresist is transferred at least in places to the outer area of the second wafer, and 2) the second wafer is a semiconductor wafer and the second wafer has at least one active zone that generates electromagnetic radiation.
