An optoelectronic semiconductor chip may include a semiconductor layer sequence having at least one n-doped semiconductor layer, at least one p-doped semiconductor layer, and an active layer arranged between the at least one n-doped semiconductor layer and the at least one p-doped semiconductor layer. A p-terminal contact may be electrically contacted to the p-doped semiconductor layer. An n-terminal contact may be electrically contacted to the n-doped semiconductor layer. The n-terminal contact may be arranged in direct contact with the p-doped semiconductor layer at least in regions.
