This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18709402 titled 'OPTOELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN OPTOELECTRONIC COMPONENT

Original Abstract Submitted

In an embodiment, an optoelectronic component includes a structured region including a semiconductor body having a first semiconductor region and a second semiconductor region, which have different conductivities, a first main surface and a second main surface and at least one first delimiting surface and at least one second delimiting surface delimiting a recess, a protective layer, which is arranged on the at least one first delimiting surface and covers a junction between the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region in the recess, wherein the first main surface is not covered by the protective layer and the protective layer does not adjoin any further protective layer on a side facing the junction and on a side facing away from the junction, and wherein the protective layer is retracted from the first delimiting surface and the second delimiting surface or wherein the protective layer has an L-shape in cross-section.
