Abstract
Description
An embodiment relates to a light emitting device.
Group III-V nitride semiconductors are spotlighted as core materials of light emitting devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) or laser diodes (LDs) due to their physical and chemical properties. The nitride light emitting device generates light using an energy band gap of an active layer positioned between an n-type GaN semiconductor layer and a p-type GaN semiconductor layer.
In such nitride semiconductors, the p-type GaN semiconductor layer must be connected to an electrode for providing a drive current to the active layer, and the electrode is usually connected to the p-type GaN semiconductor layer through a light transmissive electrode layer in order to properly spread the drive current. However, when the p-type GaN semiconductor layer and the electrode are connected through the light-transmissive electrode layer, the electrode is supported only by the adhesive force with the light-transmissive electrode layer, so that if the adhesion is not sufficiently secured, poor contact may occur or the electrode may peel off from the light-transmissive electrode layer. have. Accordingly, there is a need for a light emitting device that minimizes peeling of electrodes positioned on the light transmissive electrode layer and improves electrical contact characteristics.
The embodiment provides a light emitting device which forms a trench in the light transmissive electrode layer, fixes the electrode through the trench, minimizes interfacial separation of the electrode, and reduces contact failure of the electrode.
The light emitting device according to the embodiment includes a substrate, a light emitting structure disposed on the substrate, the light emitting structure having an active layer between the first conductive semiconductor layer and the second conductive semiconductor layer, and positioned on the light emitting structure, and having a trench in one region. A transmissive electrode layer disposed between the transmissive electrode layer and the second conductive semiconductor layer, the current limiting layer exposing a region by the trench, and an electrode inserted into the trench to contact the current limiting layer It includes.
Here, the electrode may be composed of a head forming a bonding surface with the light transmitting electrode layer, the body extending from the head is inserted into the trench, the body in contact with the current limiting layer through the trench.
In addition, the length of the contact surface of the head of the electrode in contact with the translucent electrode layer may be set larger than the width in the width direction of the body.
The embodiment improves the contact area between the electrode and the transparent electrode layer, thereby reducing the peeling of the electrode from the transparent electrode layer, improving the electrical contact state of the electrode, as well as driving current applied to the electrode toward the active layer. Can be properly spread.
