Abstract:
1. A semiconductor light emitting element comprising: an exposed part at where a first conductive type semiconductor layer is exposed in a semiconductor structure including first and second conductive type semiconductor layers and a light emitting structure provided in the semiconductor structure; and a first electrode and a second electrode respectively arranged on the exposed part of the first conductive type semiconductor layer and the second conductive type semiconductor layer of the light emitting structure on a same plane side of the semiconductor structure; wherein the first electrode and the second electrode respectively include at least two layers of a first layer of a light transmissive conductive film conducting to the first and the second conductive type semiconductor and a second layer arranged so as to conduct with the first layer on the first layer; first and second light transmissive insulating films are respectively arranged so as to overlap at least one part of the first and the second layers between the first electrode and the second electrode and the first and the second conductive type semiconductor layer; the first layers of the first and the second electrodes are respectively arranged with a covered part which contacts the first and the second conductive type semiconductor layers, respectively, on an outer side of the first and the second light transmissive insulating films; and the second layer of the first electrode includes an extending part extending from the first light transmissive insulating film to the covered part of the first layer, and the second layer of the second electrode is spaced apart from the covered part of the first layer.
