A light emitting device includes a light emitting structure including a first conductive semiconductor layer, an active layer on the first conductive semiconductor layer, and a second conductive semiconductor layer on the active layer, and an electrode on at least one of the first conductive semiconductor layers or the second semiconductor layer. The electrode includes an adhesive layer on the light emitting structure, a barrier layer on the adhesive layer, and a bonding layer on the barrier layer. The barrier layer includes a plurality of grain boundaries, and the grain boundaries include interstitial elements.
