Abstract: A carrier body for a semiconductor component, in particular for an optoelectronic semiconductor component, is specified. Said carrier body has a connecting layer and a conductor layer, which are connected to one another via main areas facing one another. The connecting layer, the conductor layer or both the connecting layer and the conductor layer has/have at least one thinned region in which the layer thickness of said layer(s) is less than the maximum layer thickness of said layer(s). The connecting layer is either completely electrically conductive and electrically insulated at least from parts of the conductor layer or it is electrically insulating at least in parts. Furthermore, a semiconductor component comprising the electrical connection conductor and also a method for producing the carrier body are specified.
