Patent ID: 7259447

Claim:
A flip-chip type nitride semiconductor light emitting diode, comprising: an n-type nitride semiconductor layer formed on a transparent substrate and having a substantially rectangular upper surface; an n-side electrode, the n-side electrode comprising at least one bonding pad formed adjacent to at least one corner of the upper surface of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer, extended electrodes formed in a band from the bonding pad along four sides of the upper surface of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer, and one or more fingers extended in a diagonal direction of the upper surface of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer from the bonding pad and/or the extended electrodes; an active layer and a p-type nitride semiconductor layer sequentially stacked on a region of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer where the n-side electrode is not formed; and a highly reflective ohmic contact layer formed on the p-type nitride semiconductor layer.
