An optoelectronic semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor layer sequence having an active region arranged between first and second semiconductor layers; a first contact and a second contact for external electrical contacting of the semiconductor chip; first and second terminal layer regions, via which the first and second contacts electrically conductively connect to the first and second semiconductor layers; and a first insulation layer and a second insulation layer; wherein the first terminal layer region and the second terminal layer region are each arranged in some areas between the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer in a vertical direction perpendicular to a main extension plane of the active region; the first terminal layer region and the second terminal layer region are arranged side by side without overlapping; and the first terminal layer region extends in places up to a side surface of the semiconductor chip.
