Abstract
An ultraviolet light-emitting diode includes: a substrate; an n-type semiconductor layer located on the substrate; a mesa arranged on the n-type semiconductor layer and including an active layer and a p-type semiconductor layer; an n-ohmic contact layer coming in contact with the n-type semiconductor layer; a p-ohmic contact layer coming in contact with the p-type semiconductor layer; an n-bump electrically connected to the n-ohmic contact layer; and a p-bump electrically connected to the p-ohmic contact layer, wherein the mesa includes a main branch and a plurality of sub branches extending from the main branch, the n-ohmic contact layer encompasses the mesa and is interposed in an area between the sub branches, and the n-bump and the p-bump respectively cover the upper part and sides of the mesa. Therefore, an optical output can be increased by reducing light loss, and a forward voltage can be lowered.
