Abstract:
A diode bar and a method for producing a laser diode bar are disclosed. In an embodiment a laser diode bar includes a plurality of emitters arranged side by side, the each emitter having a semiconductor layer sequence with an active layer suitable for generating laser radiation, a p-contact and an n-contact, wherein the emitters comprise a group of electrically contacted first emitters and a group of non-electrically contacted second emitters, wherein the p-contacts of the first emitters are electrically contacted by a p-connecting layer, and wherein the p-contacts of the second emitters are separated from the p-connecting layer by an electrically insulating layer and are not electrically contacted.

Claim (Index 6):
The method according to  claim 5 , wherein the p-contacts of the first and second emitters comprise gold and are treated with an oxygen plasma to produce a gold oxide layer on a surface of the p-contacts before the electrically insulating layer is applied, and wherein the gold oxide layer after application of the electrically insulating layer is at least partially decomposed by heat produced during operation of the first emitters so that the electrically insulating layer adheres to the p-contacts of the first emitters less than to the p-contacts of the second emitters, and wherein the electrically insulating layer is at least partially detached from the p-contacts of the first emitters.
