PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an light emitting device with its light emitting efficiency further improved. SOLUTION: A window is equipped with a side face having a 1st partial area vertical to a primary surface and a 2nd partial area oblique to the same. The 1st area forms an edge together with the primary surface and is away from the primary surface by a distance d changing gradually into the 2nd area, and the boundary of the radially formed plane in its lateral direction is positioned with a distance l from the edge formed by the 1st area and the primary surface. In this context, l>=d/tanβ, wherein β=arccos (n1 /n2 ), wherein n1 is the refraction factor of the multilayer structure, n2 is the refraction factor of the window, and n1
Abstract:
The invention relates to an optical semiconductor device comprising a multiple quantum well structure, in which well layers and barrier layers consisting of different types of semiconductor layers are stacked alternately on top of one another. The invention is characterised in that the well layers (6a) have a first composition, based on a nitride semiconductor material with a first electron energy and the barrier layers (6b) have a second composition based on a nitride semiconductor material with a higher electron energy in relation to the first electron energy. An active radiative quantum well layer (6c) is located downstream of said layers in the epitaxial direction and the essentially non-radiative well layers (6a) positioned upstream, together with the barrier layers (6b) form a superlattice for said active quantum well layer.
Abstract:
A radiation-emitting semiconductor component has a semiconductor body containing a nitride compound semiconductor, and a contact metallization layer disposed on a surface of the semiconductor body. In this case, the contact metallization layer is covered with a radiation-transmissive, electrically conductive contact layer. The radiation generated is coupled out through the contact metallization layer or through openings in the contact metallization layer.

Recesses interrupt an active layer on a semiconductor chip to improve the coupling out of light. As a result, side faces of the active layer appear, as seen from a light-generating point, at a large solid angle and the paths of light in the active layer are shortened.
Abstract:
Semiconductor layers are fabricated by applying a useful layer containing semiconductor layer(s) to a carrier, applying an auxiliary carrier to the side of the useful layer remote from the carrier with a connecting layer disposed between the auxiliary carrier and useful layer at a joining temperature, and mechanically stripping away the carrier. Fabrication of semiconductor layers involves applying a useful layer containing semiconductor layer(s) to a carrier (1), applying an auxiliary carrier to the side of the useful layer remote from the carrier with a connecting layer disposed between the auxiliary carrier and useful layer (2) at a joining temperature, and mechanically stripping away the carrier at temperature greater than or equal to the joining temperature and less than a melting point of the connecting layer. At least a part of the useful layer together with the auxiliary carrier (3) is stripped away from the carrier.
Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to reduce or compensate thermal stress created within a semiconductor component. Said aim is achieved by a semiconductor component comprising a light-emitting semiconductor layer or a light-emitting semiconductor element, two contact points, and a vertically or horizontally structured carrier substrate, and a method for producing a semiconductor component. Thermal stress is created by changes in temperature during processing and operation as well as due to the different coefficients of expansion of the semiconductor and the carrier substrate. The inventive carrier substrate is structured in such a way that thermal stress is reduced or compensated to a degree that is sufficient for the component not to break down.
