- a basic principle of a thin-film LED chip is described, for example, in I. Schnitzer et al. , Appl. Phys. Lett. 63 (16), October 18, 1993, 2174 - 2176, the disclosure content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- the emitting zone of a thin-film light-emitting diode chip is essentially limited to the front-side structured coupling-out area of the extremely thin epitaxial layer sequence, as a result of which the conditions of a Lambertian surface emitter are set.
- the present invention is based on the object of an improved method for producing a
- a thin-film LED chip produced by the method is the subject of claim 32.

- Such a semiconductor layer sequence can have, for example, a conventional pn junction, a double heterostructure, a single quantum well structure (SQW structure) or a multiple quantum well structure (MQW structure).
- SQW structure single quantum well structure

- a method for microstructuring a radiation-emitting surface of a semiconductor layer sequence for a thin-film light-emitting diode chip according to the invention is based on the basic idea that after the epitaxial growth of the semiconductor layer sequence on a growth substrate that is largely optimized with regard to the growth conditions and the formation or application of the mirror layer onto the semiconductor layer to separate the semiconductor layer sequence from the growth substrates. This separation takes place in a separation zone of the semiconductor layer sequence, which is at least partially decomposed, such that anisotropic residues of a component of the separation zone, in particular a metallic component of the separation layer, remain on the separation surface of the semiconductor layer sequence from which the substrate is separated.
- the separating surface of the semiconductor layer sequence, on which the residues are located, is etched in a pre-etching step using the residues as an etching mask by means of a dry etching process, by means of a gaseous etching agent or by means of a wet-chemical etching agent.
- the residues are preferably at least to a large extent at the same time removed, that is, the anisotropic residues only act temporarily as an etching mask.
- the residues usually remain on the separation surface as a continuous layer of varying thickness or already have island-like or network-like zones with spaces in which the surface of the semiconductor layer sequence is already exposed.
- the semiconductor layer sequence is then etched to different extents depending on the layer thickness of the residues, so that the separation surface of the semiconductor layer sequence is roughened.

- the method is particularly preferably used in the case of a semiconductor layer sequence based on semiconductor material made of the hexagonal nitride compound semiconductor material - system In x Al y Ga ⁇ _ x - y N with O, x l l, O y y l l and x + y ⁇ 1, in which the 000-1 crystal surface (N-face of the hexagonal nitride lattice) faces the growth substrate.

- the mirror layer is also microstructured.
- the etchant acts selectively on different crystal facets and thus leads to microscopic roughening of the separating surface of the semiconductor layer sequence. In this case, etching edges from the pre-etching step and crystal defects in the semiconductor layer sequence on their separating surface serve as etching seeds.
- the formation or application of the mirror layer on the semiconductor layer sequence which reflects at least part of a radiation generated in the semiconductor layer sequence during its operation back into the semiconductor layer sequence, can take place before or after the microstructuring of the semiconductor layer sequence, the former alternative being particularly preferred.
- the mention of the corresponding step in claims 1 and 7 before the separation step (c) expressly does not mean that this process step must take place before the semiconductor layer is separated from the substrate and before the microstructuring.
- the mirror layer is an essential component of a thin-film light-emitting diode.
- the mirror layer can also be connected to the microstructured semiconductor layer sequence together with a carrier body for the semiconductor layer sequence.

- a laser lift-off method is described, for example, in WO 98/14986 AI, the disclosure content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- the residues 20 are subsequently removed in a pre-etching step using an etchant 120 which etches both metallic Ga and the Si-doped GaN contact layer 3 in a material-removing manner. As a result, the surface of the Si-doped GaN contact layer 3 is roughened. In this respect, the anisotropically distributed residues of metallic gallium act as a temporary etching mask.
