Abstract:
1. A semiconductor light emitting device, comprising: a conductive support member; a light emitting structure under the conductive support member, wherein the light emitting structure comprises a second conductive semiconductor layer, an active layer under the second conductive semiconductor layer, and a first conductive semiconductor layer under the active layer; an electrode layer having a first portion on the light emitting structure, the first portion of the electrode layer disposed between the conductive support member and the light emitting structure; and an insulating layer along a circumference of a top surface of the light emitting structure and under a second portion of the electrode layer, the second portion of the electrode layer disposed between the conductive support member and the insulating layer, wherein the insulating layer includes a protrusion protruding from an undersurface of the insulating layer through the second conductive semiconductor layer and the active layer into an upper part of the first conductive semiconductor layer, wherein the first portion of the electrode layer is protruded to the light emitting structure relative to the second portion of the electrode layer, and wherein a portion of the insulating layer surrounds the second conductive semiconductor layer.
