Abstract:
An optoelectronic semiconductor component with a semiconductor body (10) and a current spreading layer (3) is disclosed. The current spreading layer (3) is applied at least on parts of the semiconductor body (10). The current spreading layer (3) contains a metal (1) that forms a transparent, electroconductive metal oxide (2) in the current spreading layer, and the concentration (x) of the metal (1) decreases from the side of the current spreading layer (3) facing the semiconductor body (10) to the side of the current spreading layer (3) away from the semiconductor body (10). Also disclosed is a method for producing this type of semiconductor component.
Abstract:
Semi-conductor unit has semi-conductor base (10) at least partly laid on a current expansion layer (3). Layer contains metal (1) which forms a transparent conductive metal oxide (2). The concentration of metal decreases moving from the side of the expansion layer facing the semi-conductor base to the side of the layer turned away from the semi-conductor base. Method to make semi-conductor part involves firstly putting on metal layer on the base, secondly putting on a metal oxide on the metal layer and lastly heat treating the layers to produce the current expansion layer.
