Abstract:
A light-emitting element includes a mesa structure in which a first compound semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, an active layer, and a second compound semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type are disposed in that order, wherein at least one of the first compound semiconductor layer and the second compound semiconductor layer has a current constriction region surrounded by an insulation region extending inward from a sidewall portion of the mesa structure; a wall structure disposed so as to surround the mesa structure; at least one bridge structure connecting the mesa structure and the wall structure, the wall structure and the bridge structure each having the same layer structure as the portion of the mesa structure in which the insulation region is provided; a first electrode; and a second electrode disposed on a top face of the wall structure.

Claim (Index 1):
A light-emitting element comprising:\n a light-emitting structure in which a first compound semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, an active layer, and a second compound semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type are disposed in that order, wherein at least one of the first compound semiconductor layer and the second compound semiconductor layer has a current constriction region surrounded by an insulation region extending inward from a sidewall portion of the light-emitting structure, an upper surface of the light-emitting structure being a first portion of a semiconductor surface consisting of a compound semiconductor material, and at least an upper portion of the light-emitting structure has a columnar configuration; a surrounding structure disposed so as to surround the light-emitting structure, wherein the surrounding structure includes the same layer structure as a portion of the light-emitting structure in which the insulation region is provided, and an upper surface of the surrounding structure being a second portion of the semiconductor surface; a plurality of connecting structures, each of the connecting structures disposed so as to connect the light-emitting structure and the surrounding structure, wherein each of the connecting structures includes the same layer structure as the portion of the surrounding structure in which the insulation region is provided, an upper surface of each of the connecting structures being a third portion of the semiconductor surface, at least two gaps are disposed between the light-emitting structure and the surrounding structure, and each of the gaps are extending along a side surface of the columnar configuration of the light emitting structure; a first electrode electrically connected to the first compound semiconductor layer; a second electrode electrically connected to the second compound semiconductor layer of the mesa structure; and an insulating layer that covers a side surface of the light-emitting structure, the insulating layer has an opening through which the second electrode is disposed directly on the semiconductor surface.
