Abstract:
A luminescent diode chip is disclosed which comprises a series of semiconductor layers, including an active layer suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation, and a first electrical connection layer that touches and contacts the series of semiconductor layers in an electrically conducting manner. The first electrical connection layer touches and contacts the series of semiconductor layers especially by means of a plurality of contact surfaces (21). Said luminescent diode chip specifically has a non-homogeneous current density distribution or current distribution in the series of semiconductor layers as a result of a non-homogeneous distribution of a mass per unit area of the contact surfaces along a main direction in which the series of semiconductor layers extends.
