Abstract:
1. A semiconductor light emitting device comprising: a stacked structural body including: a first electrode provided on a second part of the first semiconductor layer, the first electrode including a first contact electrode portion, the first contact electrode portion being in contact with the second part of the first semiconductor layer; and a second electrode provided on the second semiconductor layer, the second electrode including a second contact electrode portion and a p-side pad electrode, the second contact electrode portion being in contact with the second semiconductor layer, the p-side pad electrode being provided on a part of the second contact electrode portion, and transparency of the p-side pad electrode being lower than that of the second contact electrode portion, a sheet resistance of the second contact electrode portion being lower than a sheet resistance of the first semiconductor layer, and when projected onto a plane perpendicular to the first direction, the first contact electrode portion is provided to surround the p-side pad electrode.
