Abstract
A flip-chip light emitting device and a method of manufacturing thereof are provided. The flip-chip nitride light emitting device includes a substrate, an n type clad layer, an active layer, a p type clad layer, a multi ohmic contact layer, and a reflective layer, which are stacked in this order, wherein the multi ohmic contact layer is obtained by repeatedly stacking at least one stack unit of a reforming metal layer and a transparent conductive thin film, and wherein the reforming metal layer mainly contains silver (Ag). According to the flip-chip light emitting device and the method of manufacturing thereof, since the ohmic contact characteristics associated with a p type clad layer can be improved, it is possible to increase wire bonding efficiency and yield in a packaging process. In addition, since a low non-contact resistance and a good current-voltage characteristic can be obtained, it is possible to improve light emitting efficiency and to expand life time of the flip-chip light emitting device.
