Patent ID: 7928465

Claim:
A semiconductor light-emitting device, comprising: a conductive support structure; a semiconductor structure over the conductive support structure, the semiconductor structure having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the semiconductor structure comprises a first-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second-type semiconductor layer, wherein the second surface is opposite the first surface, and wherein the first surface, relative to the second surface, is proximate to the conductive support structure; a first electrode electrically connected to the first-type semiconductor layer, wherein the first electrode is arranged between the conductive support structure and the first surface of the semiconductor structure; a second electrode electrically connected to the second-type semiconductor layer; and a passivation layer contacting the second surface of the semiconductor structure, the passivation layer having a first length in contact with the first-type semiconductor layer and a second length in contact with the second-type semiconductor layer, wherein the second length is greater than the first length.
