Abstract:
In one embodiment of the invention, the semiconductor laser ( 1 ) comprises a semiconductor layer sequence ( 2 ). The semiconductor layer sequence ( 2 ) contains an n-type region ( 23 ), a p-type region ( 21 ) and an active zone ( 22 ) lying between the two. A laser beam is produced in a resonator path ( 3 ). The resonator path ( 3 ) is aligned parallel to the active zone ( 22 ). In addition, the semiconductor laser ( 1 ) contains an electrical p-contact ( 41 ) and an electrical n-contact ( 43 ) each of which is located on the associated region ( 21, 23 ) of the semiconductor layer sequence ( 2 ) and is configured to input current directly into the associated region ( 21, 23 ). The n-contact ( 43 ) extends from the p-type region ( 21 ) through the active zone ( 22 ) and into the n-type region ( 23 ) and is located, when viewed from above, next to the resonator path ( 3 ).

Claim (Index 11):
The semiconductor laser according to  claim 10 ,\n in which the reinforcing layers on sides facing away from the semiconductor layer sequence are covered only in places by at least one electrical insulation layer, wherein the at least two metallic electrical contact surfaces for the external electrical contacting of the semiconductor laser are applied directly on the insulation layer, and wherein the electrical contact surfaces have a different base area than the reinforcing layers and than the n-contact and the p-contact, viewed in a plan view of the p-conducting region.
