Abstract

Description
Garnet)が分散された樹脂層200とを備えている。窒化物系半導体発光素子100は、表面に配線パターンが形成された支持部材220上に搭載されており、支持部材220上には窒化物系半導体発光素子100を取り囲むように反射部材240が配置されている。樹脂層200は、窒化物系半導体発光素子100を覆うように形成されている。
図11は、本実施形態の窒化物系半導体発光素子100aを示す断面図である。m面から1°以上の角度で傾斜した面を主面とするp型半導体領域を形成するため、本実施形態に係る窒化物系半導体発光素子100aは、m面から1°以上の角度で傾斜した面を主面とするGaN系基板10aを用いている。主面がm面から1°以上の角度で傾斜している基板は、一般に「オフ基板」と称される。オフ基板は、単結晶インゴットから基板をスライスし、基板の表面を研磨する工程で、意図的にm面から特定方位に傾斜した面を主面とするように作製され得る。このGaN系基板10a上に、半導体積層構造20aを形成する。図11に示すAluGavInwN層22a、活性層24aおよびAldGaeN層26aは主面がm面から1°以上の角度で傾斜している。これは傾斜した基板の主面上に、各種半導体層が積層されると、これらの半導体層の表面(主面)もm面から傾斜するからである。GaN系基板10aの代わりに、例えば、m面から特定方向に傾斜した面を表面とするサファイア基板やSiC基板を用いてもよい。本実施形態の構成においては、半導体積層構造20aのうち、少なくとも電極30aと接触するp型半導体領域の表面がm面から1°以上の角度で傾斜していればよい。
