Method for producing a thin-film semiconductor body and thin-film semiconductor body
First Claim
1. A method for producing a thin-film semiconductor body, the method comprising:
- epitaxially growing a semiconductor layer with funnel-shaped and/or inverted pyramid-shaped recesses onto a growth substrate at a growth temperature of less than or equal to 850°
C., wherein the funnel-shaped and/or inverted pyramid-shaped recesses are V-defects or V-pits;
filling the recesses with a semiconductor material in such a way that pyramid-shaped outcoupling structures arise;
applying a semiconductor layer sequence with an active layer, which is suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation, on the outcoupling structures;
applying a carrier onto the semiconductor layer sequence; and
detaching the semiconductor layer with the funnel-shaped and/or inverted pyramid-shaped recesses, such that the pyramid-shaped outcoupling structures are configured as projections on a radiation exit face of the thin-film semiconductor body,wherein the projections have the shape of a right pyramid or of a right truncated pyramid with a regularly configured hexagon base,wherein the base of the projections has a diameter between 100 nm and 10 μ
m.

Abstract
A method for producing a thin-film semiconductor body is provided. A growth substrate is provided. A semiconductor layer with funnel-shaped and/or inverted pyramid-shaped recesses is epitaxially grown onto the growth substrate. The recesses are filled with a semiconductor material in such a way that pyramid-shaped outcoupling structures arise. A semiconductor layer sequence with an active layer is applied on the outcoupled structures. The active layer is suitable for generating electromagnetic radiation. A carrier is applied onto the semiconductor layer sequence. At least the semiconductor layer with the funnel-shaped and/or inverted pyramid-shaped recesses is detached, such that the pyramid-shaped outcoupling structures are configured as projections on a radiation exit face of the thin-film semiconductor body.
