Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an optoelectronic component includes providing a growth substrate; applying a succession of semiconductor layers; structuring the succession of semiconductor layers; applying a sacrificial layer; depositing a metal layer; optionally planarizing using a dielectric material; forming a second terminal contact through the active region; applying a permanent support; and detaching the growth substrate and exposing the metal layer.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for producing an optoelectronic component, the method comprising:\n providing a growth substrate; applying a semiconductor layer sequence, the semiconductor layer sequence having an upper side and a lower side, the semiconductor layer sequence also having an n-doped semiconductor region, a p-doped semiconductor region and an active layer for generating radiation arranged between the n-doped and p-doped semiconductor regions, wherein the upper side faces away from the growth substrate and the lower side faces the growth substrate; structuring the semiconductor layer sequence from the upper side of the semiconductor layer sequence thereby producing side surfaces of the semiconductor layer sequence; applying a sacrificial layer on the side surfaces of the semiconductor layer sequence and on surfaces exposed during the structuring of the semiconductor layer sequence; depositing a metal layer for forming a first connection contact onto the upper side of the semiconductor layer sequence, onto the side surfaces of the semiconductor layer sequence and onto the sacrificial layer; forming a second connection contact through the active layer; applying a permanent carrier to the upper side of the semiconductor layer sequence; detaching the growth substrate; and exposing the metal layer.
