Each second electrode formed on a second main surface of a compound semiconductor layer of a light emitting device has an alloyed contact layer disposed contacting the second main surface, aimed at reducing contact resistance with the compound semiconductor layer, and a solder layer connecting the alloyed contact layer to the conductive support. The solder layer forms therein a Sn-base solder layer disposed on the alloyed contact layer side having a melting point lower than the alloyed contact layer, and a Au-Sn-base solder layer disposed contacting the Sn-base solder layer opposed to the alloyed contact layer side, containing total Au and Sn of 80% or more, and having a melting point higher than the Sn-base solder layer. This configuration can provide excellent reliability of bonding between the Au-Sn-base solder layer and the alloyed contact layer, and consequently less causative of delamination of the Au-Sn-base solder layer. |
