Abstract:
1. A light-emitting element, comprising: a semiconductor laminated structure comprising a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type and an active layer sandwiched by the first and second semiconductor layers; a first electrode on one surface side of the semiconductor laminated structure; a conductive reflective layer on an other surface side of the semiconductor laminated structure for reflecting light emitted from the active layer; a contact portion partially formed between the semiconductor laminated structure and the conductive reflective layer and being in ohmic contact with the semiconductor laminated structure; a second electrode on a part of a surface of the conductive reflective layer on the semiconductor laminated structure without contacting the semiconductor laminated structure for feeding current through the conductive reflective layer to the contact portion;
