Abstract:
1. A semiconductor light emitting device, comprising: a semiconductor light emitting structure including at least one first conductive GaN based semiconductor layer, an active layer, and at least one second conductive GaN based semiconductor layer, wherein the semiconductor light emitting structure only includes semiconductor multi-layers; a plurality of insulating members disposed from the at least one second conductive GaN based semiconductor layer through a portion of the at least one first conductive GaN based semiconductor layer, wherein each of the insulating members includes a reverse trapezoidal cross section having a top wider than a base and a top surface of the insulating members protrudes above a top surface of the semiconductor light emitting structure; and a first electrode directly contacting an entire top surface of the at least one first conductive GaN based semiconductor layer and the entire top surface of the plurality of insulating members, wherein the insulating members include a lower part contacting with one of the at least one first and the at least one second conductive GaN based semiconductor layers and an upper part contacting with another of the at least one first and the at least one second conductive GaN based semiconductor layers, wherein the insulating members are not disposed on a top surface of the semiconductor light emitting structure, and wherein an entire lowermost surface of the insulating members is in contact with the semiconductor light emitting structure and the entire top surface of the insulating members is not in contact with the semiconductor light emitting structure.
