Abstract

A light-emitting semiconductor chip comprises: a radiation-transmissive substrate, an epitaxially grown semiconductor layer sequence on a main surface of the substrate, a first contact and a second contact on a contact surface of the semiconductor layer sequence facing away from the substrate for electrical and mechanical contacting of the semiconductor chip, a transparent, electrically conductive layer which is arranged on the contact side and is electrically connected to the first contact.

Claims (27)
