Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device is performed on a light emitting structure including a sequential stack of a first conductivity-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductivity-type semiconductor layer. The second conductivity-type semiconductor layer and the active layer are mesa-etched to expose a portion of the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer therethrough. A conductive layer is formed on the second conductivity-type semiconductor layer and the portion of the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer exposed by mesa-etching. In turn, the conductive layer is dry etched such that an upper surface of the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer is partially etched to have uneven portions formed thereon. The resulting semiconductor light emitting device has improved external light extraction efficiency while being easily manufactured.
