  • Publication number: 20170309777
    Abstract: An optoelectronic semiconductor chip including a multi-quantum well including at least one high barrier layer is disclosed. In an embodiment, the chip includes a p-type semiconductor region, an n-type semiconductor region and an active layer suitable for emission of radiation arranged between the p-type region and the n-type region, wherein the active layer is in the form of a multiple quantum well structure. The multiple quantum well structure has a plurality of alternating quantum well layers and barrier layers, wherein a barrier layer arranged closer to the p-type region than to the n-type region is a high barrier layer having an electronic band gap Ehb that is larger than electronic band gaps Eb of other barrier layers, and wherein a quantum well layer that adjoins the high barrier layer on a side facing towards the p-type region has a thickness that is greater than thicknesses of other quantum well layers.

  • Publication number: 20170271553
    Abstract: An optoelectronic semiconductor chip is disclosed. In an embodiment the optoelectronic semiconductor chip includes a p-type semiconductor region, an n-type semiconductor region, and an active layer arranged between the p-type semiconductor region and the n-type semiconductor region. The active layer is designed as a multiple quantum well structure, wherein the multiple quantum well structure has a first region of alternating first quantum well layers and first barrier layers and a second region having at least one second quantum well layer and at least one second barrier layer. The at least one second quantum well layer has an electronic band gap (EQW2) that is less than the electronic band gap (EQW1) of the first quantum well layers, and the at least one second barrier layer has an electronic band gap (EB2) that is greater than the electronic band gap (EB1) of the first barrier layers.

  • Patent number: 9711699
    Abstract: An optoelectronic semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor layer sequence having at least one active layer. Furthermore, the semiconductor chip has a top-side contact structure on a radiation main side of the semiconductor layer sequence and an underside contact structure on an underside situated opposite to the radiation main side. Furthermore, the semiconductor chip includes at last two trenches that extend from the radiation main side towards the underside. As seen in a plan view of the radiation main side, the top-side contact structure and the underside contact structure are arranged in a manner spaced apart from one another. Likewise as seen in a plan view of the radiation main side, the trenches are located between the top-side contact structure and the underside contact structure.

  • Patent number: 9331238
    Abstract: In at least one embodiment, the semiconductor layer sequence (1) is provided for an optoelectronic semiconductor chip (10). The semiconductor layer sequence (1) contains at least three quantum wells (2) which are arranged to generate electromagnetic radiation. Furthermore, the semiconductor layer sequence (1) includes a plurality of barrier layers (3), of which at least one barrier layer is arranged between two adjacent quantum wells (2) in each case. The quantum wells (2) have a first average indium content and the barrier layers (3) have a second, smaller, average indium content. A second average lattice constant of the barrier layers (3) is thereby smaller than a first average lattice constant of the quantum wells (2).
