  • the second contact layer is formed as a 'contact structure with webs and a bond pad.
  • areas of the radiation exit surface, on which the ' contact structure is applied usually no radiation extraction takes place, since the contact structure is conventionally radiation-absorbing.
  • the actually to Radiation decoupling used surface of the semiconductor chip is therefore limited by the contact structure. This reduction depends on the area of the contact structure in relation to the radiation exit area. The reduced radiation exit area disadvantageously reduces the efficiency of the semiconductor chip.
