Abstract:
An optoelectronic semiconductor component and a method for producing an optoelectronic semiconductor component are disclosed. In an embodiment, a component includes a semiconductor layer sequence including a first main side, a first layer, an active layer, a second layer and a second main side, a first contact element arranged on the second main side filling a recess in the semiconductor layer sequence, wherein the recess extends from the second main side through the second layer and the active layer and opens out into the first layer and a second contact element arranged on the second main side, the second contact element being arranged laterally next to the recess in a plan view of the second main side, wherein the first contact element comprises a first transparent intermediate layer, a metallic first mirror layer and a metallic injection element.

Claim (Index 35):
A method for producing an optoelectronic semiconductor component, the method comprising:\n A) providing a semiconductor layer sequence having a first main side, a first layer on the first main side, an active layer on the first layer, a second layer on the active layer and a second main side on the second layer; B) applying a plurality of second contact elements to the second main side, wherein the second contact elements are arranged next to one another and spaced apart from one another in a lateral direction, parallel to a main extension direction of the active layer; C) introducing recesses in form of holes or trenches from the second main side into the semiconductor layer sequence, wherein the recesses completely penetrate the second layer and the active layer and open into the first layer, and wherein the recesses are arranged laterally next to the second contact elements in a plan view of the second main side; D) applying a first intermediate layer to side walls of the recesses running transversely to the active layer so that the first intermediate layer directly adjoins the semiconductor layer sequence; E) directly applying a metallic first mirror layer to the first intermediate layer in a region of the side walls; and F) applying a metallic injection element to bottom surfaces of the recesses directly adjoining the first layer, wherein subsequently no further metallic element is arranged between the injection element and the bottom surfaces, and wherein the injection element and the first mirror layer have different material compositions.
