Semiconductor light-emitting device and method of producing the same

Abstract

A semiconductor light-emitting device includes a substrate, an n-type semiconductor layer located above the substrate, a semiconductor light-emitting layer located on the n-type semiconductor layer, a p-type semiconductor layer located on the semiconductor light-emitting layer. The semiconductor light-emitting device also includes an insulation film located on part of the p-type semiconductor layer in an unexposed section, a first transparent conductive film located on substantially the whole of the p-type semiconductor layer where the insulation film is not located in the unexposed section, and a second transparent conductive film located on the insulation film and the first transparent conductive film. The semiconductor light-emitting device further includes an n-side electrode located above the n-type semiconductor layer in an exposed section and electrically connected to the n-type semiconductor layer, and a p-side electrode located on the second transparent conductive film above the insulation film and electrically connected to the p-type semiconductor layer.
