Radiation-emitting semiconductor component
First Claim
1. A radiation-emitting semiconductor component, comprising:
- a semiconductor layer sequence (1) having an active zone (2) adapted for radiation generation; and
a first mirror arranged downstream of the active zone;
wherein said first mirror comprises a metal layer (4) and an intermediate layer (3) made of a radiation-transmissive and electrically conductive material, said intermediate layer being arranged on that side of the metal layer (4) which faces the active zone; and
wherein the radiation-emitting semiconductor component is adapted for operation with an optical resonator and for generating incoherent radiation as an RCLED or for operation with an external optical resonator and for generating coherent radiation as a VECSEL.

Abstract
A radiation-emitting semiconductor component, having a semiconductor layer sequence (1) with an active zone (2) provided for radiation generation and a first mirror arranged downstream of the active zone. The first mirror comprises a metal layer (4) and an intermediate layer (3) made of a radiation-transmissive and electrically conductive material, said intermediate layer being arranged on that side of the metal layer (4) which faces the active zone. The radiation-emitting semiconductor component is provided for operation with an optical resonator and for generating predominantly incoherent radiation as an RCLED or the radiation-emitting semiconductor component being provided for operation with an external optical resonator and for generating predominantly coherent radiation as a VECSEL.
