Benefits of technology

[0014] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a nitride semiconductor light emitting diode having an improved p-side electrode structure, thereby improving current diffusion effects and reflexibility.
[0023] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the step of forming the mesh-type DBR reflecting layer is carried out at a temperature of 500° C. to 700° C. to prevent occurrence of cracks.

Problems solved by technology

A substrate used to grow such a nitride semiconductor material is limited to a sapphire substrate because of lattice matching.
However, the metal, such as Ag or Al, forming the ohmic contact layer 16 is very sensitive to heat.

Embodiment Construction

[0030] A detailed description of components of a nitride semiconductor light emitting diode according to the present invention will be given hereinafter.

[0031] P-Type and N-Type Nitride Semiconductor Layers

[0032] The p-type and n-type nitride semiconductor layers are single crystals each having the following formula: AlXInyGa(1-X-y)N (where, 0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, and (0≦x+y≦1), and are grown by means of Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD), Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), or Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE). The typical nitride semiconductor layers include GaN, AlGaN, and GaInN.

[0033] The P-type nitride semiconductor layer may contain impurities, such as Mg, Zn, and Be. The n-type nitride semiconductor layer may contain impurities, such as Si, Ge, Se, Te, and C. Between the substrate and the nitride semiconductor layer is usually disposed a buffer layer for lattice matching. The common buffer layer may be a low-temperature core growth layer, such as AlN or GaN.

Abstract

The present invention provides a flip chip-type nitride semiconductor light emitting diode. The nitride semiconductor light emitting diode comprises a light transmittance substrate, an n-type nitride semiconductor layer, an active layer, a p-type nitride semiconductor layer and a mesh-type DBR reflecting layer. The mesh-type DBR reflecting layer has a plurality of open regions. The mesh-type DBR reflecting layer is composed of first and second nitride layers having different Al content. The first and second nitride layers are alternately stacked several times to form the mesh-type DBR reflecting layer. An ohmic contact layer is formed on the mesh-type DBR reflecting layer and on the p-type nitride semiconductor layer.
