SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT EMITTING ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A semiconductor light emitting device having high reliability and excellent light distribution characteristics is provided. Specifically, a semiconductor light emitting device 1 is provided with an n-electrode 50, which is arranged on a light extraction surface on the side opposite to the surface whereupon a semiconductor stack 40 is mounted on a substrate 10. A plurality of convexes are arranged on a first convex region 80 and a second convex region 90 on the light extraction surface. The second convex region 90 adjoins to the interface between the n-electrode 50 and the semiconductor stack 40, between the first convex region 80 and the n-electrode 50. The base end of the first convex arranged in the first convex region 80 is positioned closer to a light emitting layer 42 than the interface between the n-electrode 50 and the semiconductor stack 40, and the base end of the second convex arranged in the second convex region 90 is positioned closer to the interface between the n-electrode 50 and the semiconductor stack 40 than the base end of the first convex.
