Light emitting device and lighting apparatus using the same

Abstract

A light-emitting device includes a semiconductor structure, a through hole, an electrical connecting structure, and a first electrode metal layer. The semiconductor structure has a first surface and a second surface, and includes a first-type semiconductor layer, a second-type semiconductor layer, and an active layer. The first surface is located on the first-type semiconductor layer, and the second surface is located on the second-type semiconductor layer. The through hole passes through the first-type semiconductor layer, the second-type semiconductor layer, and the active layer. The through hole has a first section, and the first-type semiconductor layer is exposed through the first section to electrically connect with the electrical connecting structure. A first angle between a side wall of the first type semiconductor layer that bounds the first section and the plane of the first surface ranges from 0° to 90°.
