SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENT WHICH EMITS RADIATION, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME
First Claim
1. Radiation-emitting semiconductor component with a multilayered structure that contains a radiation-emitting active layer, and a window transparent to radiation that has a first principal face and a second principal face opposite the first principal face, and whose first principal face adjoins the multilayered structure, with the window having at least one recess to form radiation-output surfaces running at an angle to the first principal face, characterized by the fact that at least one lateral face of the window and/or of the recess adjoining the second principal face is provided, at least in part, with a first contact surface.

Abstract
This invention describes a radiation-emitting semiconductor component with the a multilayered structure that contains a radiation-emitting active layer, and a window transparent to radiation that has a first principal face and a second principal face opposite the first principal face, and whose first principal face adjoins the multilayered structure. At least one recess is made in the window, which preferably has the form of an indentation of the second principal face or as an edge excavation. At least one lateral surface of the window or of the recess is provided at least partially with a contact surface. Alternatively or cumulatively, at least one contact surface of the component has a plurality of openings.
