In an embodiment, an optoelectronic semiconductor component includes a semiconductor layer sequence with a doped first layer, a doped second layer, an active zone configured to generate radiation by electroluminescence between the first layer and the second layer, and a side surface extending transversely to the active zone and delimiting the semiconductor layer sequence in a lateral direction, two electrodes for electrical contact between the first and second layers and a cover layer located on the side surface in a region of the first layer, wherein the cover layer is in direct contact with the first layer, wherein a material of the cover layer alone and its direct contact with the first layer are configured to cause a formation of a depletion zone in the first layer, wherein the depletion zone comprises a lower concentration of majority charge carriers compared to a rest of the first layer, wherein the cover layer comprises a metal or a metal compound, and wherein the cover layer forms a Schottky contact with the first layer.

Optoelectronic semiconductor component

An optoelectronic component may include a support and multiple optoelectronic semiconductor chips that can be actuated individually and independently of one another. Each semiconductor chip may include a semiconductor layer sequence. Each semiconductor chip may have an electrically insulating passivation layer on the respective lateral surface of the semiconductor layer sequence. The semiconductor chip(s) are assigned to a first group, which may be paired with a common boundary field generating device arranged on the passivation layer face facing away from the semiconductor layer sequence at an active zone for each semiconductor chip of the first group. The boundary field generating device is designed to at least temporarily generate an electric field in the boundary regions of the active zone so that a flow of current through the semiconductor layer sequences can be controlled in the boundary regions during the operation of the semiconductor chips of the first group.

Optoelectronic component and method for producing an optoelectronic component

A method of producing a radiation-emitting component includes: A) providing a dielectric layer that degrades against environmental influences; B) applying a first protective layer to the dielectric layer by an atomic layer deposition method, wherein the first protective layer includes elemental Si or in a compound; and C) applying a second protective layer to the first protective layer, the second protective layer including elemental Si, wherein a layer thickness of the first protective layer is less than or equal to 1 nm so that the first protective layer reduces or prevents a degradation of the dielectric layer.
