Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a gallium nitride-based semiconductor light emitting device, said method comprising the steps of: sequentially forming, over a substrate, a first conductivity type clad layer, an active layer, and a second conductivity type clad layer; forming a transparent electrode over the second conductivity type clad layer; forming a first photoresist film on the transparent electrode such that the transparent electrode is exposed in a predetermined region corresponding to one lateral end portion thereof; removing respective portions of the transparent electrode, the second conductivity type clad layer, and the active layer corresponding to the predetermined region, thereby partially exposing the first conductivity type clad layer; removing the first photoresist film; and forming first and second bonding electrodes on predetermined portions of the transparent electrode and the second conductivity type clad layer, respectively, by the steps of:
