An optoelectronic semiconductor chip includes a p-type semiconductor region, an n-type semiconductor region, and an active layer embodied as a multi-quantum well structure arranged between the p-type semiconductor region and the n-type semiconductor region. The multi-quantum well structure includes a plurality of alternating quantum well layers and barrier layers. At least one barrier layer, which is arranged closer to the p-type semiconductor region than to the n-type semiconductor region, is a high barrier layer that has an electronic band gap that is greater than an electronic band gap of the remaining barrier layers.
