Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an optoelectronic component having a protector body for eliminating overvoltage. A prior art optoelectronic component having a current spreading layer is known from DE 10 2004 025 610 A1. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an optoelectronic component comprising an element having a protective effect on an overvoltage. Another object of the present invention is to provide another photovoltaic module which has a protective effect against electrostatic charges or a damage caused by static charges. An optoelectronic component is provided comprising an electrically conductive substrate having a cover side and a bottom side 'where the cover side is connected to the first contact area and the bottom side is connected to the second contact area of opposite polarity . An illuminable ρη junction between the two contact regions is disposed on the cover side of the substrate. In addition, the optoelectronic component has a protector body to eliminate overvoltage, the protector body being electrically connected in parallel with the ρη-junction. The covering side and the bottom side are related to the main side of the assembly, wherein the covering side is the main side away from a mounting surface, and the bottom side is the side facing a mounting surface. The light is emitted from the covered side of the optoelectronic component by the pn-connection. A major side of the optoelectronic component includes a region of the optoelectronic component that is present on the side of the substrate that is spaced apart from or facing the mounting surface. An advantageous way is to integrate a protection function for the electrostatic charge 200919786 in the only optoelectronic component 'so that no additional measures can be taken to protect the optoelectronic component from overvoltage during the manufacture or transport of the optoelectronic component, in the process For example, frictional electrostatic forces during or during transport can cause an electrostatic charging phenomenon. For example, other protectors having outwardly projecting terminals need not be mounted on the optoelectronic component or mounted on a plurality of electrical loads carrying optoelectronic components. In addition, the optoelectronic component can be protected from overvoltage during its entire operation. Moreover, some measures in the above-mentioned optoelectronic components are not required, such as adding a diode member, a Zener diode, an anti-parallel electrostatic discharge-protecting diode, a capacitor or a varistor in the photovoltaic module. The parallel circuit is constructed, which makes the component expensive, complicated, and causes the component to be highly susceptible to interference. The inventors have determined that in the form of an electronic diode, there may also be a small pre-current or bias in the cut-off direction on the pn-junction, which allows the corresponding optoelectronics to be made The total static-strength threshold of the component is reduced. Such a bias voltage occurs, for example, in an electrostatic field or a high frequency alternating electric field during random precharging, or on an insulation resistance of the number T (10 12) ohms of the electrostatic discharge-testing device. According to one embodiment of the above-mentioned photo resistor, a simple ohmic parallel connection is achieved on the pn- junction, which can be in the range of approximately 1 k ohm and 1 T ohm. This ohmic parallel connection is achieved with a protector containing a resistive material whose resistance 値 is in the above range. Advantageously, the electrical and optical properties of the optoelectronic component are not affected when in parallel. At the same time, the optoelectronic component can be produced simply and cost-effectively by the established configuration. 200919786 The above embodiment is to form an ohmic parallel connection on the pn_ junction, but the protector body can additionally have a varistor characteristic curve and/or a characteristic form in the form of an asymmetry or a rectifier. According to one embodiment of the optoelectronic component, at least a portion of the protector body is disposed in a structural trench of the optoelectronic component, and the trench preferably reaches the pn-junction. The structural trenches, for example, include a trench that can exist between individual optoelectronic components of a common substrate wafer. According to another embodiment, the trench is a special recessed region that is buried or etched through the optoelectronic component for mounting the protector. According to another form, the protector includes an area made of layers. This region may extend over the entire structure of the upper side or the covered side of the optoelectronic component and cover the entire structure or only one portion of the cover side. The structure of the cover side of the optoelectronic component may, for example, comprise a plurality of contact or contact layers or at least a portion of the pn-junction. The layered regions of the protector can be created by deposition methods such as 'CVD or PVD. The region can be sputtered, vapor deposited, sputtered onto the cover side of the optoelectronic component or applied to the cover side by a spin-on process. The advantage of this method is that a particularly thin layer can be produced which does not significantly affect the operational function of the optoelectronic component. These layers require only a small amount of protector material' which is preferred for cost reasons. According to an embodiment, the protector body has at least one region, at least a portion of which extends into the substrate or to the side (n-side) of the negative charge of the pn junction. The protector body can be formed, for example, in the shape of a pin. Therefore, the bias voltage that affects the electrostatic discharge protection characteristics of the photovoltaic module can be excluded to the n-side of the pn-junction or excluded into the substrate. Thus, the bias voltage 200919786 is not conducted in the cut-off direction of the pn-junction but is conducted into the substrate in the half-conducting direction of the pn-junction. The accumulated charge is controlled by the pn- junction to flow out to the side of the positive charge by the semi-conducting property of the pn-junction, at which time the photovoltaic module is not damaged, in particular It is the semi-conducting portions of the photovoltaic module that are not damaged. Preferably, the protector body has a region made of a layer and at least one region made of a pin (pi η). Thus, the above charges may first be collected on the layer and then discharged into the interior of the substrate via at least one pin-shaped region. Preferably, at least one of the pin-shaped regions of the protector body has a form that projects into the substrate and tapers toward the interior of the substrate. Therefore, at least one pin-shaped region has a small volume which can carry a charge, wherein the corresponding charge can be discharged into the interior of the substrate with a small electrical resistance. The protector body preferably comprises at least one of the following materials or alloys: silver, uranium 'copper. Alternatively, the protector body can have a varistor characteristic or a P T C - material or thermistor material. If the protector body has a varistor characteristic, it preferably comprises zinc oxide, manganese oxide, chromium oxide or cerium oxide. If the protector body has a PTC-material', the Ρτ c - material is preferably a semiconductive polycrystalline ceramic, for example, strontium titanate. According to one embodiment, the protector body has a transparent conductive oxide (TC0), in particular in the layered region. Such a permeable characteristic is advantageous in order to illuminate the light emitted by the η _ junction as far as possible from the absorption or 200919786 as far as possible without reflection. The protector body can also be a plate capacitor that is lithographically produced on the cover side of the optoelectronic component. It includes at least two planar electrodes of opposite polarity with a dielectric disposed between the electrodes. The dielectric is preferably a capacitor ceramic or a material containing plastic. In addition, the protector can be formed by a slightly conductive transparent adhesive, a portion of the cast surrounds the optoelectronic component and at least a portion of the cast is electrically connected to the pn- Face connection. According to one embodiment, the protector comprises a further outwardly projecting terminal for directing the parasitic charge directly and as lowly ohmically as possible from the circuitry of the optoelectronic component. The terminal can be connected to the rest of the protector, i.e., to the layered or pin-shaped area of the protector. A first contact region of the optoelectronic component is present or formed on the cover side of the optoelectronic component, and the first contact zone may additionally have a contact region formed on the bottom side of the substrate. The region of the first contact region on the bottom side is preferably connected to the region of the first contact region on the covered side of the substrate by a contact via. The contact vias thus pass through the substrate and are electrically separated from the substrate. The first contact zone thus has the form of an I-shape whereby the periphery of the substrate is geometrically sandwiched by the shorter leg of the I-shape. According to one embodiment, the first contact region is electrically isolated from the substrate on the underside of the substrate and along the contact via; this can be achieved by an intermediate layer for insulation. Preferably, the protector is disposed in the form of a transparent contact layer between the first contact region and the pn-junction and is electrically connected to the contact region and the pn-junction. The contact layer therefore preferably has a larger area than the first contact surface, and the contact layer covers as much as possible: a pn-junction or a p-doped layer on the doped substrate. As a pn junction, it is understood that the P-doped region in the junction of the electron or hole via the photo-n-doped region and the p-doped region in the cut-off region may include one Or a plurality of epitaxial layers and the n-doped domains may comprise the substrate. The optoelectronic component is preferably a nitride-compound semiconductor. In the former case, an active epitaxial layer sequence or such a layer sequence contains one layer of a nitride-111 - V-compound semiconductor material than AlnGamln. ^.mN, where 〇$ n S 1 , 〇SS 1 and n + m S 1 .
