Abstract
The invention relates to an optoelectronic component () comprising a semiconductor layer sequence () having an active layer (), wherein the active layer () is designed to produce or absorb electromagnetic radiation in intended operation. Furthermore, the component () comprises a first contact structure () and a second structure (), by means of which the semiconductor layer sequence () can be electrically contacted in intended operation. In operation, a voltage is applied to the contact structures (), wherein an operation-related voltage difference ΔUbet between the contact structures () arises. When the voltage difference is increased, a first arc-over occurs in or on the component () between the two contact structures (). A spark gap () between the contact structures (), which arises in the event of the first arc-over, passes predominantly through a surrounding medium in the form of gas or vacuum and/or through a potting. The first arc-over occurs at a voltage difference of 2·ΔUbet at the earliest.
