Vertical type light emitting diode having groove disposed under the first conductivity type semiconductor layer
Abstract:
A light emitting diode includes: a first conductivity type semiconductor layer; a mesa including an active layer and a second conductivity type semiconductor layer, the mesa having a groove disposed under some region of the first conductivity type semiconductor layer to expose an edge of the first conductivity type semiconductor layer, the groove exposing the first conductivity type semiconductor layer; a first electrode including a first contact portion electrically connected to the first conductivity type semiconductor layer through the groove; a second electrode disposed between the first electrode and the second conductivity type semiconductor layer and electrically connected to the second conductivity type semiconductor layer; and an upper electrode pad disposed adjacent to the first conductivity type semiconductor layer and connected to the second electrode, wherein the groove has a shape surrounding a region including a center of the mesa and partially open.
