Abstract: A method relates to separating a component composite into a plurality of component regions, wherein the component composite is provided having a semiconductor layer sequence comprising a region for generating or for receiving electromagnetic radiation. The component composite is mounted on a rigid subcarrier. The component composite is separated into the plurality of component regions, wherein one semiconductor body is produced from the semiconductor layer sequence for each component region. The component regions are removed from the subcarrier.

Abstract: A method for producing an optoelectronic semiconductor component includes providing a first wafer having a patterned surface, wherein the patterned surface is formed at least in places by elevations having first and second heights, wherein the first height is greater than the second height; providing a second wafer; applying a photoresist to outer areas of the second wafer; patterning a surface of the photoresist facing away from the second wafer by impressing the patterned surface of the first wafer into the photoresist, wherein the elevations are impressed as trenches having a first and second depth into the photoresist; applying a patterning method to the patterned surface of the photoresist, wherein the structure applied on the photoresist is transferred at least in places to the outer area of the second wafer.
