Abstract:
1. A semiconductor light emitting element, comprising: a first semiconductor layer of first conductivity type; an active layer formed on said first semiconductor layer; a semiconductor layer of second conductivity type having a one surface which is formed on said active layer and whose one surface comprises an optical window from which a light is extracted, and having a plurality of recesses formed to define a plurality of bosses; a dielectric film formed of a dielectric material having light transmissivity in said recesses to fill up said recesses and to allow the light to be extracted therefrom; and a conductor film formed on said recesses and bosses and having light transmissivity and formed on said one surface of said semiconductor layer and an electrode formed on a region of said conductor film opposing to said optical window, wherein said dielectric film formed in said recesses does not have low-resistive contact with said conductor film, and said conductor film and said semiconductor layer of second conductivity type are electrically connected via said bosses to each other.
