A radiation emitting semiconductor chip may include a semiconductor layer sequence having an active region configured to generate electromagnetic radiation, a first dielectric mirror layer arranged above the semiconductor layer sequence, and a second dielectric mirror layer arranged above the first dielectric mirror layer. The first dielectric mirror layer may have at least one first recess. A first current spreading layer may be arranged in the first recess and above the first dielectric mirror layer. The second dielectric mirror layer may have at least one second recess extending up to the first current spreading layer. The first recess may not overlap with the second recess in lateral direction in plan view. Furthermore, a method for producing a radiation emitting semiconductor chip is disclosed.
