Patent ID: 7023026

Claim:
A light emitting device of a III–V group compound semiconductor comprising a first stack and a second stack, wherein said first stack includes a semiconductor stack having an n-type semiconductor layer, an active layer and a p-type semiconductor layer stacked successively, a multilayered reflecting-structure for reflecting light emitted from said active layer is formed on one main surface of said semiconductor stack, a first metal bonding-layer is formed on said multilayered reflecting-structure, a transparent electrode layer is formed on the other main surface of said semiconductor stack, said second stack includes a second metal bonding-layer, said first stack and said second stack are bonded together by bonding said first metal bonding-layer and said second metal bonding-layer to each other, said multilayered reflecting-structure includes a transparent conductive oxide layer and a reflecting metal layer adjacent thereto in this order from the said semiconductor stack, and a thickness of said transparent conductive oxide layer is adjusted in a range from 1 nm to 30 μm to control light emission characteristics on the transparent electrode layer side.
