摘要: A semiconductor lamination portion (6) is formed by laminating at least an n-type layer (3) and a p-type layer (5) made of gallium nitride based compound semiconductor so as to form a light emitting portion, and a light transmitting conductive layer (7) is formed on a surface of the semiconductor lamination portion. An upper electrode (8) is formed so as to adhere to an exposed surface of the semiconductor lamination portion exposed by etching a part of the light transmitting conductive layer, and to the light transmitting conductive layer. An electric current blocking means (10) is formed on the exposed surface of the semiconductor lamination portion which is exposed through an opening (7a) of the light transmitting conductive layer, thereby significantly preventing electric current from flowing into a part under the upper electrode while ensuring good adhesion between the upper electrode and the surface of the semiconductor lamination portion. Consequently, there can be obtained a semiconductor light emitting device using gallium nitride based compound semiconductor wherein external quantum efficiency is improved by suppressing light emission under the upper electrode while enhancing adhesion between the upper electrode and the semiconductor layer.

摘要: Semiconductor layers forming a light emitting layer and including an n-type layer and p-type layer are formed onto a substrate, then the n-type layer is exposed by removing a part of the laminated semiconductor layers. p-side electrode and n-side electrode are then respectively formed on the p-type layer on the surface of the laminated semiconductor layers and the exposed n-type layer, respectively in an electrically connected manner, followed by dicing of the substrate from the exposed n-type layer to the substrate at portions at which breaking of the substrate is performed. Then a protection film is provided on the entire surface of the laminated semiconductor layers as to expose the p-side and n-side electrodes, and breaking of the substrate is performed at dicing portions into individual chips. Consequently, semiconductor light emitting devices can be obtained by breaking the wafer into individual chips without etching the protection film and without damaging the protection film at the time of breaking. Also, the light emitting devices can be improved.
