Abstract
A semiconductor light emitting device includes an n-type semiconductor layer, a p-type semiconductor layer, and an active layer formed between the n-type semiconductor layer and the p-type semiconductor layer, and emitting light. The device further includes a p-electrode contacting to the p-type semiconductor layer, and including a first conductive oxide layer having an oxygen content lower than 40 atomic % and a second conductive oxide layer contacting to the first conductive oxide layer and having a higher oxygen content than the oxygen content of the first conductive oxide layer. The device also includes an n-electrode connecting electrically to the n-type semiconductor layer.
