Abstract:
1. A semiconductor light emitting device, comprising: a reflective electrode layer; a second conductive semiconductor layer formed on a portion of a top surface of the reflective electrode layer; an active layer formed on the second conductive semiconductor layer and having a quantum well structure; a first conductive semiconductor layer formed on the active layer having the quantum well structure; a first electrode formed directly under one portion of the first conductive semiconductor layer, the first electrode being adjacent to the second conductive semiconductor layer, the active layer and a portion of a side surface of the first conductive semiconductor layer; and an insulating layer having a horizontal part and two vertical parts, wherein at least a portion of the horizontal part is between and in contact with corresponding parts of the second conductive semiconductor layer and the reflective electrode layer, and wherein the two vertical parts cover and are in contact with corresponding side walls of the first electrode.
