Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a light emitting element, the method comprising: forming a groove in a substrate to define a device formation region; forming a light emitting structure including a first conductive layer of a first conductivity type, a light emitting layer, and a second conductive layer of a second conductivity type which are sequentially stacked on the device formation region, wherein the width of the first conductive layer is larger than the width of the second conductive layer and the light emitting layer, and the first conductive layer protrudes on sides more than the second conductive layer or the light emitting layer; forming a first electrode which is electrically connected with the second conductive layer and connected from a top of the light emitting structure, through a sidewall of the light emitting structure, and to a sidewall of the groove; removing a part of the first electrode to expose a part of a region where the first conductive layer protrudes; and forming a second electrode which is electrically connected with the first conductive layer on the exposed first conductive layer.
