US Patent 9130125 Semiconductor light emitting device

A semiconductor light emitting device may include an n-type semiconductor layer, an active layer and a p-type semiconductor layer disposed in a first region corresponding to a portion of an upper surface of the n-type semiconductor layer, an n-type electrode formed in a second region distinct from the first region on the n-type semiconductor layer to be electrically connected to the n-type semiconductor layer and including an n-type electrode pad and first and second n-type electrode fingers, and a p-type electrode formed on the p-type semiconductor layer to be electrically connected to the p-type semiconductor layer and including a p-type electrode pad and a p-type electrode finger. A distance between n-type and p-type electrodes may be constant to significantly reduce a phenomenon of concentration of a current in a specific region of an electrode.
