Abstract:
1. A semiconductor light-emitting element comprising: a light-transmitting element substrate; an n-type semiconductor layer formed on the element substrate so as to cover the element substrate; a p-type semiconductor layer formed so as to cover an area on the n-type semiconductor layer from which an area for an n-electrode on the n-type semiconductor layer is excluded, for emitting light in cooperation with the n-type semiconductor layer; a first n-electrode that is a thin film formed on the area for the n-electrode of the n-type semiconductor layer; a first p-electrode that is a thin film formed on the p-type semiconductor layer; a first insulating layer that is formed so as to insulate the first n-electrode and the first p-electrode from each other; a second n-electrode formed on the first n-electrode and the first insulating layer as a thin film having an area larger than a joined face between the n-type semiconductor and the first n-electrode so that the second n-electrode is electrically connected to the first n-electrode, the second n-electrode being insulated from the first p-electrode by the first insulating layer; and a second p-electrode formed as a thin film having an area smaller than a joined face between the n-type semiconductor layer and the p-type semiconductor layer, the second p-electrode being electrically connected to the first p-electrode.
