Abstract:
1. A semiconductor light-emitting device, comprising: a plurality of semiconductor layers composed of a first semiconductor layer having first conductivity, a second semiconductor layer having second conductivity different than the first conductivity, and an active layer disposed between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer and generating light by recombination of electrons and holes; a high-resistance body made of an insulating material on the second semiconductor layer; a light-transmitting conductive film covering the second semiconductor layer and the high-resistance body; and a first electrode disposed on the light-transmitting conductive film; wherein the light-transmitting conductive film electrically connects the second semiconductor layer to the first electrode and has an opening through which the high-resistance body is exposed, and, wherein the first electrode is brought into contact with the light-transmitting conductive film which is disposed on the high-resistance body, and with the high-resistance body which is exposed through the opening.
