Abstract

A radiation-emitting semiconductor component, having a layer structure which includes an active layer which, in operation, emits radiation with a spectral distribution, and electrical contacts for applying a current to the layer structure, includes a coating layer which at least partially surrounds the active layer and holds back a short-wave component of the emitted radiation.
