Abstract
Description
Disclosed are a semiconductor light emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same. More specifically, a semiconductor light emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed that can prevent current overcrowding.
A semiconductor light emitting device is a semiconductor device capable of generating light of various colors based on recombination of electrons and holes at junctions of p and n type semiconductors when a current is applied. Such semiconductor light emitting devices have a number of advantages, such as long lifespan, low power supply, excellent initial driving characteristics, high vibration resistance, etc., compared to filament based light emitting devices.
Since a semiconductor light emitting device has a beneficial advantage in terms of output, efficiency, or reliability compared to a conventional light source, research is being conducted for use in various lighting devices as well as a backlight unit. Thus, in order to use the semiconductor light emitting device as a light source for lighting, it is necessary to provide a high level of desired output while increasing light efficiency and lowering manufacturing costs.
In general, the semiconductor light emitting device having an epi-up structure has a high current density around the p-type electrode, and as it moves away from the semiconductor light emitting device, the current density decreases and thus does not have even light emission. To prevent this, an additional current blocking layer (CBL) may be additionally formed at the bottom of the p-type electrode to prevent current congestion around the p-type electrode and to have even light emission. In addition, there is a need for a method of preventing a current overload phenomenon using a transparent electrode layer and having a better light distribution.
A semiconductor light emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided.
A semiconductor light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a substrate, a first conductive semiconductor layer formed on the substrate, an active layer formed on the first conductive semiconductor layer, and a second conductive semiconductor layer formed on the active layer. And a transparent electrode layer formed on the second conductive semiconductor layer and including holes having different sizes, and a first electrode formed on the transparent electrode layer, wherein the holes of the transparent electrode layer are far from the first electrode. The smaller it gets, the smaller it gets.
In the semiconductor light emitting device according to the aspect of the present invention, the shape of the hole of the transparent electrode layer may be selected from the group consisting of a circle, an ellipse and a polygon.
In the semiconductor light emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention, the transparent electrode layer may include indium tin oxide (ITO).
In the semiconductor light emitting device according to the aspect of the present invention, the first electrode may be a p-type electrode.
In the semiconductor light emitting device according to the embodiment of the present invention, the holes of the transparent electrode layer may be arranged at different intervals.
In the method of manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention, forming a first conductive semiconductor layer on a substrate, forming an active layer on the first conductive semiconductor layer, Forming a second conductive semiconductor layer, forming a transparent electrode layer including holes having different sizes on the second conductive semiconductor layer, and forming a first electrode on the transparent electrode layer; The holes of the transparent electrode layer are formed to be smaller in size as they move away from the first electrode.
In the method of manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device according to an aspect of the present invention, the hole of the transparent electrode layer may be formed in a shape selected from the group consisting of a circle, an ellipse and a polygon.
In the method of manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention, the holes of the transparent electrode layer may be formed to be disposed at different intervals.
Since the size of the holes of the transparent electrode layer decreases as the semiconductor light emitting device according to the exemplary embodiment moves away from the p-type electrode, the semiconductor light emitting device may have even light emission by improving the current density concentrated on the p-type electrode. As a result, the semiconductor light emitting device according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may achieve higher light efficiency by reducing light absorption to the transparent electrode layer due to the hole pattern of the transparent electrode layer.
