Abstract
In an embodiment a method includes providing a growth substrate comprising a growth surface formed by a planar region having a plurality of three-dimensional surface structures on the planar region, directly applying a nucleation layer of oxygen-containing AlN to the growth surface and growing a nitride-based semiconductor layer sequence on the nucleation layer, wherein growing the semiconductor layer sequence includes selectively growing the semiconductor layer sequence upwards from the planar region such that a growth of the semiconductor layer sequence on surfaces of the three-dimensional surface structures is reduced or non-existent compared to a growth on the planar region, wherein the nucleation layer is applied onto both the planar region and the three-dimensional surface structures of the growth surface, and wherein a selectivity of the growth of the semiconductor layer sequence on the planar region is targetedly adjusted by an oxygen content of the nucleation layer.
