The invention relates to a flip-chip nitride semiconductor LED. In the LED, a light emitting structure has first and second conductivity type nitride semiconductor layers and an active layer interposed therebetween. Each of plurality of first and second electrodes has a bonding pad placed adjacent to a top corner of the light emitting structure and at least one electrode finger extended from the bonding pad. The first and second electrodes are connected to the first and second conductivity type nitride semiconductor layers, respectively. Also, bonding pads are arranged alternately along edges of the light emitting structure with different polarity, in a substantially symmetric configuration with respect to the center of the light emitting structure. In addition, each of electrode fingers is extended from a corresponding pad and bent at least once toward the center of the light emitting structure to adjoin the electrode finger having different polarity.
