Patent ID: 8372672

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a nitride semiconductor light emitting device, the method comprising: sequentially stacking an n-type nitride semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a p-type nitride semiconductor layer to prepare a light emitting structure; forming a first layer formed of In at one surface of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer and a second layer formed of a material containing W at the first layer to form an n-type ohmic contact layer; forming an n-type electrode on the n-type ohmic contact layer; and forming a p-type electrode to be electrically connected to the p-type nitride semiconductor layer, wherein the forming an n-type electrode on the n-type ohmic contact layer is performed after forming the n-type ohmic contact layer without heat treatment of the n-type ohmic contact layer, and the n-type ohmic contact layer is formed on a Ga-polar face of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer.
