Efficiency of leading out light released from an active layer, i.e. the external quantum efficiency, can be improved remarkably by processing a light lead-out surface to have an embossment. A layer containing a p-type dopant like magnesium (Mg) is deposited near the surface of a p-type GaN layer to diffuse it there, and a p-side electrode is made on the p-type GaN layer after removing the deposited layer. This results in ensuring ohmic contact with the p-side electrode, preventing exfoliation of the electrode and improving the reliability.
