Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor light-emitting element ( 1 ) including: an n-type semiconductor layer ( 140 ); a light-emitting layer ( 150 ); a p-type semiconductor layer ( 160 ); a transparent conductive layer ( 170 ) laminated on the p-type semiconductor layer; a reflective film ( 180 ) which is composed of a material having optical transparency to light emitted from the light-emitting layer and an insulating property and is laminated on the transparent conductive layer; a p-conductive body ( 200 ) which penetrates the reflective film and is electrically connected to the transparent conductive layer; an n-electrode ( 310 ) electrically connected to the n-type semiconductor layer; and a p-electrode ( 300 ) having a p-adhesion layer ( 301 ) which is laminated on the reflective film, is electrically connected to the other end of the p-conductive body, and is composed of the same material as that for the transparent conductive layer and a p-metal reflective layer ( 302 ) which is laminated on the p-adhesion layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A semiconductor light-emitting element comprising: a first semiconductor layer that is composed of a group-III nitride semiconductor having a first conductivity type; a light-emitting layer that is laminated on one surface of the first semiconductor layer to expose a part of the one surface, and that emits light upon conducting an electric power; a second semiconductor layer that is composed of a group-III nitride semiconductor having a second cond…
