Abstract:
1. A nitride semiconductor light emitting device, which includes a first conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer, an active layer and a second conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer deposited in this order on a substrate, comprising; a first insulation layer and a second insulation layer formed on different portions of an upper surface of the nitride semiconductor light emitting device; a first bonding pad formed on the first insulation layer; a second bonding pad formed on the second insulation layer; a first extension electrode extending from the first bonding pad and connected to the first conductivity type semiconductor layer; and a second extension electrode extending from the second bonding pad and connected to the second conductivity type semiconductor layer; wherein the first and second bonding pads are insulated from the first and second conductivity type nitride semiconductor layers by the first and second insulation layers, respectively, and the first and the second insulation layers are formed such that the first and second extension electrodes are disposed in parallel with, and at a predetermined interval from, each other, wherein the first and second extension electrodes are provided in plural, and disposed alternately in parallel with each other, and wherein the first and second insulation layers are formed on upper surface portions of the first conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer exposed by removing corresponding portions of the second conductivity type nitride semiconductor layer and the active layer.
