Patent ID: 8723206

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting device comprising: a semiconductor laminate including first and second main surfaces opposed to each other, first and second conductivity type semiconductor layers respectively providing the first and second main surfaces, and an active layer formed therebetween, and divided into first and second regions by a separation groove; at least one contact hole formed to pass through the active layer from the second main surface of the first region so as to be connected to one region of the first conductivity type semiconductor layer; a first electrode formed on the second main surface of the semiconductor laminate, connected to the first conductivity type semiconductor layer of the first region through the at least one contact hole, and connected to the second conductivity type semiconductor layer of the second region therethrough; a second electrode formed on the second main surface of the first region and connected to the second conductivity type semiconductor layer of the first region; and an electrode connection unit connecting the second electrode to the first conductivity type semiconductor layer of the second region, wherein the surface of the first electrode, facing the second main surface, has a portion bent toward the second main surface so as to contact the second conductivity type semiconductor layer of the second region.
