According to at least one embodiment of the method for producing an optoelectronic component, the surface of the second region facing away from the active region is roughened to produce a first radiation exit surface before or after method step B). This means, for example, that the surface of the first radiation exit surface is roughened by chemical etching. A roughened surface reduces the optical waveguide effect and thus advantageously increases the outcoupling efficiency of the optoelectronic component.
According to at least one embodiment of the method for producing an optoelectronic component, the surface of the first region facing away from the active region is roughened to produce a second radiation exit surface before or after method step E). This means that the surface of the second radiation exit surface is roughened by chemical etching after the growth substrate has been removed. This increases the efficiency of a radiation emission in both directions.
