Patent ID: 8035116

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising: a substrate; a conductive layer disposed on a main surface of the substrate; an insulation layer disposed on the conductive layer; a plurality of light emitting elements each including a first conductive type semiconductor layer contacting with the insulation layer and a second conductive type semiconductor layer disposed on the first conductive type semiconductor layer, said second conductive type semiconductor layer including a first conductive type semiconductor connection surface and a second conductive type semiconductor connection surface between the first conductive type semiconductor layer; and a second conductive side wiring pattern for commonly connecting the second conductive type semiconductor layers of the light emitting elements arranged adjacently so that the second conductive type semiconductor layers are connected to the conductive layer in parallel through the second conductive side wiring pattern, said second conductive side wiring pattern being arranged to contact with the insulation layer and not with the conductive layer between the light emitting elements arranged adjacently.
