Patent ID: 10333025

Abstract:
An ultraviolet light emitting device including a first conductivity-type AlGaN semiconductor layer; an active layer disposed on the first conductivity-type AlGaN semiconductor layer and having an AlGaN semiconductor; a second conductivity-type AlGaN semiconductor layer disposed on the active layer and having an upper surface divided into a first region and a second region; second conductivity-type nitride patterns disposed on the first region of the second conductivity-type AlGaN semiconductor layer and having an energy band gap that is smaller than an energy band gap of the second conductivity-type AlGaN semiconductor layer; a transparent electrode layer covering the second conductivity-type nitride patterns and the second region of the second conductivity-type AlGaN semiconductor layer; a light-transmissive dielectric layer disposed on the transparent electrode layer between the second conductivity-type nitride patterns; and a metal electrode disposed on the transparent electrode layer overlying the second conductivity type nitride patterns and on the light-transmissive dielectric layer.
