Abstract:
A light emitting device includes a first semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second semiconductor layer, and first and second electrodes electrically connected to the first and second semiconductor layers, respectively. The second electrode includes a reflective pad portion, a transparent electrode layer, a reflective finger portion and an electrode pad portion. The reflective pad portion is disposed in a region of an upper surface of the second semiconductor layer. The transparent electrode layer is disposed on the second semiconductor layer and has an opening encompassing the reflective pad portion such that the transparent electrode layer is not in contact with the reflective pad portion. The reflective finger portion extends from the reflective pad portion and has at least a portion thereof disposed on the transparent electrode layer. The electrode pad portion covers the reflective pad portion to be in contact with the transparent electrode layer.
Abstract:
Semiconductor light-emitting devices, and semiconductor light-emitting packages, include at least one light-emitting structure including a first conductivity-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductivity-type semiconductor layer sequentially stacked on a substrate, the at least one light-emitting structure having a first region and a second region delimiting the first region. The light-emitting device includes a groove in the second region, and the groove is adjacent to an edge of the substrate and extends parallel to the edge of the substrate.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device is performed on a light emitting structure including a sequential stack of a first conductivity-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductivity-type semiconductor layer. The second conductivity-type semiconductor layer and the active layer are mesa-etched to expose a portion of the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer therethrough. A conductive layer is formed on the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer and the portion of the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer exposed by mesa-etching. In turn, the conductive layer is dry etched such that an upper surface of the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer is partially etched to have uneven portions formed thereon. The resulting semiconductor light emitting device has improved external light extraction efficiency while being easily manufactured.
