Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a semiconductor light emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same.
A light emitting diode (LED), which is a kind of semiconductor light source, is a semiconductor device capable of generating light of various colors based on recombination of electrons and holes in a junction portion of a p- and n-type semiconductor when current is applied thereto. Such light emitting diodes have a number of advantages, such as long life, low power, excellent initial driving characteristics, and high vibration resistance, compared to filament-based light sources. In particular, group III nitride semiconductors capable of emitting light in a blue short wavelength region have been in the spotlight.
In the case of such a semiconductor light emitting device, a power is applied to the bonded n-type semiconductor layer and the p-type semiconductor layer to generate electrons and holes in the junction region to emit light. Accordingly, metallic n-type and p-type electrodes are formed on the n-type and p-type semiconductor layers to apply power to the n-type and p-type semiconductor layers. However, since the metallic n-type and p-type electrodes do not emit light to the outside and absorb the light, a problem arises in that light extraction efficiency of the semiconductor light emitting device is deteriorated. In particular, in order to improve current spreading characteristics, It becomes a bigger problem when forming the contact surface of a semiconductor layer wide. Therefore, a method for designing a semiconductor light emitting device excellent in both current spreading characteristics and light extraction efficiency is required.
One object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor light emitting device having a structure including a reflector formed under the metallic electrode and having improved current spreading characteristics and light extraction efficiency, and a method of manufacturing the same.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the transparent electrode and the reflector may be formed on the second conductive semiconductor layer.
In some embodiments, at least some of the first and second electrodes may include the reflector to cover the transparent electrode around the reflector.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the first and second electrodes may include at least one of Cr or Au.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first and second electrodes may include first and second pads, respectively, and first and second fingers extending in a longitudinal direction from the first and second pads. Can be.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the reflector may include at least one of Al and Ag.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the transparent electrode may penetrate a region where the transparent electrode is partially removed to expose a part of the surface of the light emitting structure.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the transparent electrode layer, indium tin oxide (ITO), indium oxide (IO), tin oxide (SnO2), zinc oxide (ZnO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO) It may comprise at least one layer consisting of an oxide selected from the group consisting of

In some embodiments, removing a portion of the transparent electrode may include forming a mask layer on at least a portion of the transparent electrode and removing the transparent electrode exposed to an area where the mask layer is not formed. It may be characterized in that it comprises a step of etching.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the disposing unit may be disposed in an area where the transparent electrode is etched and removed.

Since light may be reflected and emitted to the outside without being absorbed by the electrode, an effect of improving light extraction efficiency may be obtained.
