A positive electrode 305 is a negative electrode. In the flip-chip type light emitting element, light emitted at the interface between the n-type GaN layer 302 and the p-type GaN layer 303 is reflected by the positive electrode 304 formed on the p-type GaN layer 303, and the sapphire substrate 301 For observation through, the positive electrode 304 is formed relatively large. As a metal layer used for the positive electrode 304 formed on the p-type GaN layer 303, a metal such as aluminum (Al) is known to be excellent in light reflection efficiency. Among the types of metals that are excellent in light reflection efficiency, when they are used for electrodes, there are those that easily cause migration, for example, metals such as aluminum.

防止することはできない。As described above, when the metal used for the positive electrode 304 causes migration, the metal constituting the positive electrode 304 is attracted to the negative electrode 305 as ions, and This causes a problem that the light emission intensity is reduced due to the disturbance, the positive electrode 304 and the n-type GaN layer 302 are short-circuited due to migration, and the life is shortened. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the positive electrode 304 formed on the p-type GaN layer 303 and the p-type Ga
By increasing the distance D from the N layer 303, the time until a short circuit is extended, and as a result, a method of extending the life can be considered. However, as described above, for the flip-chip type light emitting element, the size of the positive electrode 304 on the p-type GaN layer 303 = the light emitting area, and increasing the distance D reduces the size of the positive electrode. If it is maintained, the chip size increases and the production efficiency decreases, and if the size of the positive electrode is reduced, the amount of light leaking from the gap D of the p-type GaN layer 303 is accordingly increased. As a result, there is a problem that the light reflection efficiency is reduced and the light emission efficiency is reduced. In addition, it is impossible to prevent the emission intensity from being reduced due to the disturbance of the electrode layer.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a flip-chip type light emitting device 100 according to the present invention using silver (Ag). In the element 100, migration does not occur because the first metal layer 108 is covered with the second metal layer 110. Therefore, this element 1
00 has a long life. Further, in the present element 100, since the migration D does not occur, the width D can be reduced, so that the first metal layer 108 can be widened, and a metal having excellent spectral reflection efficiency can be provided on the first metal layer 108 over a large area. Can be used over. Therefore, the emission intensity can be improved. Further, in the present element 100, since light is reflected by the second metal layer 110 even in the portion having the width D, the contact layer 1
07 hardly leaks out, so that the emission intensity can be further improved. In addition, the present element 100
Then, since the contact resistance of the second metal layer 110 to the contact layer 107 at the portion of the width D is larger than the contact resistance of the first metal layer 108 to the contact layer 107, most of the current flows in the portion of the width D. Contact layer 1 without passing through
07 and the metal layer 108. For this reason,
The active layer immediately above the metal layer 108, which uses a metal having excellent light reflection efficiency over a wide area, emits light, and thus has a high emission intensity. Further, in the present element 100, since the portion having the width D is narrow, a strong bonding strength is required when the contact layer 107 and the second metal layer 110 are bonded. However, as shown in FIG. When the layer 110 has a multilayer structure, strong bonding strength can be obtained. Thereby, the present element 1
00 can be a long-life element in which migration does not occur. The second metal layer 110 also has an effect of preventing oxygen and moisture from entering the first metal layer 108 and preventing the first metal layer 108 from corroding.

It is in contact with contact layer 107. Since the element 100 uses silver (Ag), which has not been used as a member of the conventional flip-chip type positive electrode, for the first metal layer, the contact resistance to the contact layer 107 is small, and FIG. Since the reflection efficiency of the light upward to 1 is very good, it is a great feature that the light emission intensity is remarkably excellent. In the case of the above-described embodiment using silver (Ag) for the first metal layer 108, the first metal layer 10

If it is thicker, the second metal layer 110 completely covers the side surface of the first metal layer 108. It is difficult to cover the surface, and the production cost is inferior.
