Abstract
The disclosure relates to a semiconductor laser includes a semiconductor layer sequence with an-n-type n-region, a p-type p-region and an active zone lying between the two for the purpose of generating laser radiation. A p-contact layer that is permeable to the laser radiation and consists of a transparent conductive oxide is located directly on the p-region for the purpose of current input. An electrically-conductive metallic p-contact structure is applied directly to the p-contact layer. The p-contact layer is one part of a cover layer, and therefore the laser radiation penetrates as intended into the p-contact layer during operation of the semiconductor laser. Two facets of the semiconductor layer sequence form resonator end surfaces for the laser radiation.
