Provided is an optoelectronic semiconductor chip including a semiconductor layer sequence having an active layer, a doped current spreading layer and an output coupling layer, which are arranged one above the other in this order. The active layer generates primary radiation during intended operation. The current spreading layer includes a larger lateral electrical conductivity than the output coupling layer. The output coupling layer includes output coupling structures for coupling out radiation on an exit side facing away from the active layer. The output coupling layer includes a lower absorption coefficient for primary radiation than the current spreading layer.

Optoelectronic semiconductor chip and method for producing an optoelectronic semiconductor chip

The invention relates to an optoelectronic semiconductor chip comprising a semiconductor layer sequence with a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer and an active layer between the first and the second semiconductor layers. The optoelectronic semiconductor chip further comprises a first contact structure with a plurality of first contact pins and a first contact layer for electrically contacting the first semiconductor layer and a second contact structure for electrically contacting the second semiconductor layer. The first semiconductor layer is disposed between the first contact layer and the active layer. The first contact pins are disposed between the first contact layer and the first semiconductor layer and are separated and spaced at a distance from one another in the lateral direction. An electrical connection with an electrical resistance between the first contact layer and the first semiconductor layer is formed by each first contact pin. The first contact pins are selected such that they have different electrical resistances as a result of electrical connections formed by two different first contact pins.
