Abstract
A semiconductor light emitting element, includes: a laminated structure body including an n-type semiconductor layer, a p-type semiconductor layer, and a light emitting layer; a p-side electrode provided in contact with the p-type semiconductor layer; an n-side electrode provided in contact with the n-type semiconductor layer; a highly reflective insulating layer provided in contact with the n-type semiconductor layer and having a higher reflectance than a reflectance of the n-side electrode; and an upper metal layer provided on at least a part of the n-side electrode and on at least a part of the highly reflective insulating layer and electrically connected to the n-side electrode. An area of a region of the n-side electrode in contact with the n-type semiconductor layer is smaller than an area of a region of the highly reflective insulating layer sandwiched between the n-type semiconductor layer and the upper metal layer.
