US Patent 8093608 Semiconductor light-emitting device

A semiconductor light-emitting device including a substrate, an n-type semiconductor layer formed on the substrate, an active layer laminated on the n-type semiconductor layer and capable of emitting a light, a p-type semiconductor layer laminated on the active layer, an n-electrode which is disposed on a lower surface of the semiconductor substrate or on the n-type semiconductor layer and spaced away from the active layer and p-type semiconductor layer, and a p-electrode which is disposed on the p-type semiconductor layer and includes a reflective ohmic metal layer formed on the dot-like metallic layer, wherein the light emitted from the active layer is extracted externally from the substrate side.
