SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT EMITTING ELEMENT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A light emitting device includes a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type having an upper and lower surface sides. A first portion of the first semiconductor layer is adjacent to a second portion of the first semiconductor layer. A light emitting layer is adjacent to the first portion on the under surface side. A second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type is on the light emitting layer such that the light emitting layer is between the second semiconductor layer and the first portion. A first conductive layer electrically contacts the second portion of the first semiconductor layer on the under surface side and extends beyond an outer edge of the first semiconductor layer. A protecting layer comprising a metal is on an upper surface side of the first conductive layer. A pad electrode is on the upper surface side of the first conductive layer.
