Abstract
A vertical nitride semiconductor light emitting device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. In the device, an ohmic contact layer, a p-type nitride semiconductor layer, an active layer, an n-type nitride semiconductor layer and an n-electrode are sequentially formed on a conductive substrate. At least one of a surface of the p-type nitride semiconductor layer contacting the ohmic contact layer and a surface of the n-type nitride layer contacting the n-electrode has a high resistance area of damaged nitride single crystal in a substantially central portion thereof. The high resistance area has a Schottky junction with at least one of the ohmic contact layer and the n-electrode.
