A second electrode pad 92 covers the second opening 802 of the protection structure and is electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer 23 through the second extended electrode 72.
[0147] The substrate 10 can be a growth substrate for epitaxially growing a semiconductor stack 20. In an embodiment, the semiconductor stack 20 includes a first semiconductor layer 21, an active layer 22, and a second semiconductor layer 23. The substrate 10 includes a gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafer for epitaxially growing aluminum gallium indium phosphide (AlGaInP), or a sapphire (Al2O3) wafer, a gallium nitride (GaN) wafer, a silicon carbide (SiC) wafer, or an aluminum nitride (AlN) wafer for growing gallium nitride (GaN), indium gallium nitride (InGaN), or aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN).
[0148] In an embodiment of the present invention, the optoelectronic elements 1-6 may not have the substrate 10. For example, the substrate 10 can be a growth substrate for growing the semiconductor stack 20, and then, the substrate 10 can be separated from the semiconductor stack 20 by methods such as laser lift off or chemical lift off.
[0149] In an embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor stack 20 with optoelectronic properties, such as a light-emitting stack, is formed on the substrate 10 by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE), physical vapor deposition (PVD), or ion plating methods, where the physical vapor deposition method includes sputtering or evaporation methods.
[0150] By changing the physical and chemical composition of one or more layers in the semiconductor stack 20, the wavelength of the light emitted or absorbed by the optoelectronic device 1 is adjusted. In this case, taking the light-emitting device as an example, the semiconductor stack 20 includes a first semiconductor layer 21, an active layer 22, and a second semiconductor layer 23. The material of the semiconductor stack 20 includes group III-V semiconductor materials, such as Al x In y Ga (1-x-y) N or Al x In y Ga (1-x-y) P, where 0 ≤ x, y ≤ 1; (x + y) ≤ 1. When the material of the semiconductor stack 20 is an AlInGaP series material, red light with a wavelength between 610 nm and 650 nm can be emitted. When the material of the semiconductor stack 20 is an InGaN series material, blue light with a wavelength between 400 nm and 490 nm, or green light with a wavelength between 530 nm and 570 nm can be emitted. When the material of the semiconductor stack 20 is an AlGaN series or AlInGaN series material, ultraviolet light with a wavelength between 250 nm and 400 nm can be emitted.
[0151] The first semiconductor layer 21 and the second semiconductor layer 23 can be a cladding layer or a confinement layer, and the two have different conduction types, electrical properties, polarities, or provide electrons or holes according to the doped elements. For example, the first semiconductor layer 21 is an n-type semiconductor, and the second semiconductor layer 23 is a p-type semiconductor. The active layer 22 is formed between the first semiconductor layer 21 and the second semiconductor layer 23. Electrons and holes recombine in the active layer 22 under the drive of a current, converting electrical energy into light energy to emit a light ray, or converting light energy into electrical energy to absorb a light ray. The active layer 22 can be a single heterostructure (SH), a double heterostructure (DH), a double-side double heterostructure (DDH), or a multi-quantum well structure (MQW). The material of the active layer 22 can be a neutral, p-type, or n-type semiconductor. The first semiconductor layer 21, the active layer 22, or the second semiconductor layer 23 can be a single layer or a structure including multiple sub-layers.
[0152] In an embodiment of the present invention, the semiconductor stack 20 may further include a buffer layer (not shown in the figures) located between the first semiconductor layer 21 and the substrate 10, which is used to release the stress generated between the substrate 10 and the semiconductor stack 20 due to the lattice mismatch of materials, so as to reduce dislocations and lattice defects, and further improve the epitaxial quality. The buffer layer can be a single layer or a structure including multiple sub-layers. In one embodiment, PVD aluminum nitride (AlN) can be selected as the buffer layer, which is formed between the semiconductor stack 20 and the substrate 10 to improve the epitaxial quality of the semiconductor stack 20. In one embodiment, the target for forming PVD aluminum nitride (AlN) is composed of aluminum nitride. In another embodiment, a target composed of aluminum can be used, and aluminum nitride is reactively formed with the aluminum target in an environment of a nitrogen source.
[0153] As Figures 7 - 9 shown, the semiconductor stack 20 includes a first exposed area E1, a second exposed area E2, and a semiconductor platform M surrounded by the first exposed area E1. In one embodiment, a part of the second semiconductor layer 23, the active layer 22, and the first semiconductor layer 21 can be removed by etching to form the first exposed area E1 and the second exposed area E2. In other words, the first exposed area E1 exposes the first surface 21t of the first semiconductor layer 21, and the second exposed area E2 exposes the second surface 21t' of the first semiconductor layer 21. In a top view of the optoelectronic device 1, as Figure 1 shown, the first exposed area E1 is located on at least one side of the semiconductor platform M, and the second exposed area E2 is located inside the semiconductor platform M and is surrounded by the semiconductor platform M. In Figure 7 , the label "B1" represents the first boundary B1 between the first exposed area E1 and the semiconductor platform M. In Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the label "B2" represents the second boundary B2 between the second exposed area E2 and the semiconductor platform M. The upper surface 20t (the second upper surface 23t of the second semiconductor layer 23) of the semiconductor platform M can be higher than the upper surface 20b (the first surface 21t of the first semiconductor layer 21) of the first exposed area E1 and the upper surface 20b' (the second surface 21t' of the first semiconductor layer 21) of the second exposed area E2. In one embodiment, the semiconductor platform M can be tapered towards its top. Therefore, the side surface of the semiconductor platform M can be an inclined surface, such as Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 illustrated second inclined surface S2.
[0154] In one embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, a part of the upper surface 20b of the first exposed area E1 can be a first contact first area CT1. As Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, a part of the upper surface 20b' of the second exposure region E2 can be a first contact second region CT1'. In one embodiment, at least a part of the upper surface 20t of the semiconductor platform M is defined as a second contact region CT2. The insulating structure 60 includes a plurality of first insulating structure openings 601 to expose the first contact first region CT1 and the first contact second region CT1'. The insulating reflective structure 40 includes a plurality of insulating reflective structure openings 400 located on the second contact region CT2 and exposing the contact electrode 30 and / or the second semiconductor layer 23. In one embodiment, a ratio (A1 / A2) between a first total area A1 included in the plurality of first contact second regions CT1' and a second total area A2 included in the plurality of first contact first regions CT1 is between 1 and 2 to improve the current distribution of the optoelectronic elements 1-6. If the ratio (A1 / A2) is less than 1, the brightness of the optoelectronic elements 1-6 will decrease; if the ratio (A1 / A2) is greater than 2, the voltage (Vf) of the optoelectronic elements 1-6 will increase.
[0155] As Figure 1 shown, the substrate 10 includes a first side 11, a second side 12, a third side 13, and a fourth side 14. The semiconductor platform M can be spaced apart from the first side 11 to the fourth side 14, and the first exposure region E1 can be distributively arranged between any one or more of the semiconductor platform M and the first side 11 to the fourth side 14. For example, the first exposure region E1 can be arranged between the semiconductor platform M and the first side 11 and between the semiconductor platform M and the second side 12, or between the semiconductor platform M and the third side 13 and between the semiconductor platform M and the fourth side 14. The first side 11 and the second side 12 can be opposite to each other or parallel to each other, and the third side 13 and the fourth side 14 can be opposite to each other or parallel to each other. In one embodiment, a plurality of second exposure regions E2 having a long strip shape, a rectangular shape, a circular shape, or an elliptical shape and spaced apart from each other can be arranged inside the semiconductor platform M.
[0156] Referring Figures 1 - 6 , each of the optoelectronic elements 1-6 includes a plurality of through holes 200 formed through the second semiconductor layer 23 and the active layer 22 in the second exposure region E2 to expose the second surface 21t' of the first semiconductor layer 21. The number of the through holes 200 includes a plurality, and the shapes include but are not limited to polygons such as circular, rectangular, or hexagonal, and can be distributed at a uniform or non-uniform pitch. In this embodiment, the shape of the through hole 200 is circular. After passing current through the optoelectronic elements 1-6, the external current is electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer 21 in the through hole 200 through the first extension electrode 71.

[0165] like Figures 7 - 9As shown, the contact electrode 30 can be directly disposed on the second semiconductor layer 23. The region where the contact electrode 30 contacts the second semiconductor layer 23 forms a second contact region CT2 and is electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer 23. The contact electrode 30 is used to disperse the current injected from the outside and then inject it into the second semiconductor layer 23 via the upper surface 20t of the semiconductor platform M (the second upper surface 23t of the second semiconductor layer 23).
[0166] In one embodiment, the insulating reflection structure 40 includes a plurality of insulating reflection structure openings 400 disposed on the semiconductor platform M. As Figures 1 - 6 shown, in a top view of the optoelectronic elements 1-6, the insulating reflection structure openings 400 include circles, semi-circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles, polygons, arcs, or rings. The plurality of insulating reflection structure openings 400 can be arranged in a hexagonal closest-packed lattice pattern on the semiconductor platform M, but are not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the plurality of insulating reflection structure openings 400 can be arranged in various patterns. For example, a rectangular lattice pattern. As Figure 7 shown, the insulating reflection structure 40 is located above the contact electrode 30 and covers the second inclined surface S2 of the semiconductor platform M, and covers a part of the first semiconductor layer 21 and a part of the second semiconductor layer 23. For example, the insulating reflection structure 40 can cover a part of the first surface 21t of the first semiconductor layer 21 and a part of the second upper surface 23t of the second semiconductor layer 23.
[0167] In one embodiment of the invention, as Figures 7 - 9 shown, the insulating reflection structure 40 includes an insulating reflector 41 and / or an insulating layer 42. The insulating reflection structure opening 400 includes a first insulating reflection structure opening 410 passing through the insulating reflector 41. As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the insulating reflector 41 of the insulating reflection structure 40 covers the second inclined surface S2 of the semiconductor platform M to reflect a light ray from the active layer 22 and increase the light extraction efficiency of the optoelectronic elements 1-6.
[0168] In one embodiment of the invention, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the insulating layer 42 of the insulating reflection structure 40 is located between the contact electrode 30 and the insulating reflector 41. The insulating reflection structure opening 400 includes a second insulating reflection structure opening 420 passing through the insulating layer 42. As Figures 1 - 6 shown, in a top view of the optoelectronic elements 1-6, the first insulating reflection structure opening 410 and the second insulating reflection structure opening 420 form a concentric circle pattern.
[0169] As Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the connection layer 51 covers the insulating reflective structure 40 and fills the first insulating reflective structure opening 410 and the second insulating reflective structure opening 420 to contact the contact electrode 30, where the connection layer 51 contains titanium (Ti), titanium oxide (TiO x ), titanium nitride (TiN x ), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), indium tin oxide (ITO), zinc-doped indium tin oxide (ZITO), indium zinc oxide (ZIO), indium gallium oxide (GIO), zinc tin oxide (ZTO), fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO), or zinc magnesium oxide (Zn (1-x) Mg x O, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1). The contact electrode 30 contains indium tin oxide (ITO), zinc-doped indium tin oxide (ZITO), indium zinc oxide (ZIO), indium gallium oxide (GIO), zinc tin oxide (ZTO), fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO), or zinc magnesium oxide (Zn (1-x) Mg x O, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1). In an embodiment of the invention, the connection layer 51 has a thickness less than that of the contact electrode 30. For example, the connection layer 51 has a thickness between 10 angstroms (Å) and 60 angstroms, and the contact electrode 30 has a thickness between 100 angstroms and 400 angstroms. In an embodiment of the invention, the contact electrode 30 and the connection layer 51 contain the same material. For example, the contact electrode 30 and the connection layer 51 contain indium tin oxide (ITO). In an embodiment of the invention, the contact electrode 30 and the connection layer 51 contain different materials. For example, the contact electrode 30 contains indium tin oxide (ITO), and the connection layer 51 contains titanium (Ti).
[0170] The metal reflective structure 52 is filled into the insulating reflective structure opening 400 of the insulating reflective structure 40 through the connection layer 51, where the connection layer 51 can improve the adhesion between the insulating reflective structure 40 and the metal reflective structure 52. In a side view of the optoelectronic elements 1 to 6, in an embodiment, the metal reflective structure 52 can be disposed on the connection layer 51 and conformal with the connection layer 51. For example, the metal reflective structure 52 and the connection layer 51 can completely overlap or partially overlap each other.
[0171] In an embodiment, the metal reflective structure 52 contains silver (Ag), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), or a combination of the foregoing materials.
[0172] In an embodiment, each of the optoelectronic elements 1 to 6 includes a barrier layer (not shown in the figure) disposed on the metal reflective structure 52. The barrier layer has a multilayer structure. For example, a multilayer structure of alternately stacked Ti and Ni.
[0173] The insulating reflective structure 40, the connecting layer 51, and the metal reflective structure 52 can be configured as an Omni-Directional reflector (ODR). The omnidirectional reflector can increase the reflectivity of the light emitted from the active layer 22, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of the optoelectronic elements 1-6.
[0174] In one embodiment, the insulating layer 42 of the insulating reflective structure 40 is used as an insulating film and has a single-layer structure, including oxides or nitrides, such as at least one oxide or nitride selected from the group consisting of metals such as silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), aluminum (Al), etc. In another embodiment, the insulating layer 42 can also have a multi-layer structure, such as a stack composed of any two or more of the above oxides or nitrides, such as a multi-layer structure composed of SiO2, TiO2, and Al2O3.
[0175] In one embodiment, the insulating mirror 41 can be formed of a material having a refractive index lower than that of the second semiconductor layer 23. The material of the insulating mirror 41 includes SiO2, SiN, SiO x N y , TiO2, Si3N4, Al2O3, TiN, AlN, ZrO2, TiAlN, TiSiN, HfO, TaO2, Nb2O5, or MgF2. In one embodiment, the insulating mirror 41 has a multi-layer film structure in which insulating layers with different refractive indices are alternately stacked, such as a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The distributed Bragg reflector structure is formed by alternately stacking a plurality of first sub-layers having a first refractive index and a plurality of second sub-layers having a second refractive index, and the first refractive index is less than the second refractive index. For example, it can be stacked by SiO2 / TiO2 or SiO2 / Nb2O5, etc.
[0176] In one embodiment of the invention, when the insulating mirror 41 includes a distributed Bragg reflector structure with a stack of SiO2 / TiO2 or SiO2 / Nb2O5, the insulating layer 42 has a thickness greater than the thickness of each sub-layer included in the insulating mirror 41, but the thickness of the insulating layer 42 is less than the total thickness of each sub-layer included in the insulating mirror 41. In one embodiment of the invention, the thickness of the insulating layer 42 is between 3000 angstroms and 7000 angstroms.
[0177] At least one oxide or nitride selected from the group consisting of silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), and aluminum (Al) can be used for the bottommost layer or the topmost layer of the insulating mirror 41. In one embodiment, the bottommost layer and / or the topmost layer of the insulating mirror 41 includes a material different from that of the intermediate layer therebetween and / or a thickness different from that of the intermediate layer and / or a formation process different from that of the intermediate layer.
[0178] In one embodiment, the insulating layer 42 may include the same material as the plurality of first sub-layers of the insulating mirror 41. For example, when the insulating mirror 41 is formed of a distributed Bragg reflector including SiO2 / TiO2 or SiO2 / Nb2O5, the insulating layer 42 may be formed of SiO2. Although the insulating layer 42 is formed of the same material as at least a part of the insulating mirror 41, it is not required to have a high film quality such as that of an insulating film like DBR. Therefore, the insulating mirror 41 and the insulating layer 42 can be formed by different processes. The interface of the insulating layer 42 with respect to the insulating mirror 41 can be visually distinguished (e.g., SEM photograph or TEM photograph). In one embodiment, the total thickness of the plurality of first sub-layers included in the insulating mirror 41 is less than the total thickness of the insulating layer 42.

In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, a hexagon formed by a plurality of insulating reflection structure openings 400 contains six second insulating structure openings 602.
[0193] In this embodiment, the second insulating structure opening 602 includes a width not greater than a width included in the insulating reflection structure opening 400. In another embodiment, one or more second insulating structure openings 602 each include a width greater than a width included in each of the plurality of insulating reflection structure openings 400.
[0194] As Figures 1 - 6 shown, one or more second insulating structure openings 602 are located in a region outside a projection area of the second electrode pad 92 and are covered by the second extended electrode 72. As Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a plurality of second insulating structure openings 602 are arranged along a periphery of the second electrode pad 92. A part of the plurality of second insulating structure openings 602 may overlap an edge of the second opening 802 of the protection structure and may be arranged at equal intervals or unequal intervals around the second electrode pad 92 or on one side of the second electrode pad 92.

[0197] The second extended electrode 72 can be disposed on the insulating structure 60 and extend through the second insulating structure opening 602 to the metal reflection structure 52 to electrically connect to the second semiconductor layer 23.
[0198] Referring to Figures 1 - 6 and Figure 8, the first extended electrode 71 includes a first electrode connection portion 710 near the first side 11 of the substrate 10 and one or more first extended electrode protrusions 711 extending toward the second side 12 of the substrate 10. The second extended electrode 72 includes a second electrode connection portion 720 near the second side 12 of the substrate 10 and one or more second extended electrode recesses 722 extending toward the second side 12 of the substrate 10. When viewed from a top view, the second insulating structure opening 602 is located within the projected area of the second extended electrode 72, so that the second extended electrode 72 can fill the second insulating structure opening 602 and be electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer 23, and the edge 72e of the second extended electrode 72 covers the insulating reflection structure opening 400.
[0199] The first extended electrode 71 and the second extended electrode 72 are arranged staggeredly, and the width of the first extended electrode protrusion 711 is smaller than the width of the second extended electrode recess 722, so that the second extended electrode 72 can avoid the position of the through hole 200, and the upper surfaces of the second extended electrode 72 and the second electrode pad 92 are closer to or are a planarized surface.
[0200] Compared with the second extended electrode recess 722, the second extended electrode 72 includes a second extended electrode protrusion 721. Specifically, when viewed from the top view of the optoelectronic elements 1 to 6, with the edge of the first extended electrode protrusion 711 closest to the second side 12 as a reference, a reference line is drawn parallel to the second direction, and the second extended electrode recess 722 and the second extended electrode protrusion 721 are located on two opposite sides of the reference line. In an embodiment where the second insulating structure opening 602 is located within the polygon formed by a plurality of insulating reflection structure openings 400, one or more second insulating structure openings 602 are respectively located within the polygon formed by a plurality of insulating reflection structure openings 400 under the second extended electrode protrusion 721.
[0201] In one embodiment, the first extended electrode 71 and the second extended electrode 72 can be disposed on the insulating structure 60, formed of different materials, and spaced apart from each other. For example, the first extended electrode 71 and the second extended electrode 72 can be formed of a material including at least one of the following: aluminum (Al), gold (Au), tungsten (W), platinum (Pt), iridium (Ir), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), and alloys of the above materials.
[0202] The protection structure 80 includes a first protection structure opening 801 located on the first extended electrode 71 and a second protection structure opening 802 located on the second extended electrode 72.

Refer to Figures 1 - 6 and Figure 8, each of the optoelectronic elements 1-6 includes one or more protective mesa 800 covering one or more through holes 200 respectively. One or more protective mesa 800 are located in an area outside a projected area of the first electrode pad 91, so that the first electrode pad 91 can avoid the position of the through hole 200, and also make the upper surface of the first electrode pad 91 a planarized surface.
[0203] Reference Figures 1 - 6 , viewed from a top view, the projections of the first electrode pad 91 and the second electrode pad 92 do not overlap with the projection of the through hole 200, so that the surfaces of the optoelectronic elements 1-6 are planarized, which is beneficial to increasing the bonding area between the packaging substrate and the first electrode pad 91 and the second electrode pad 92 during the subsequent packaging process. Reference Figures 8 - 9 , a plurality of first insulating structure openings 601 are located in an area outside a projected area of the first electrode pad 91 and are covered by the first extended electrode 71.
[0204] Reference Figures 1 - 6 , a first group of through holes 2001 of the plurality of through holes 200 are surrounded by the first electrode pad 91, and / or a second group of through holes 2002 are surrounded by the second electrode pad 92. The first electrode pad 91 includes one or more first electrode pad recesses 912 to accommodate the first group of through holes 2001, and / or the second electrode pad 92 includes one or more second electrode pad recesses 922 to accommodate the second group of through holes 2002. In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the first electrode pad recess 912 extends towards the inside of the first electrode pad 91. In one embodiment, as Figures 3 - 5 shown, a plurality of first electrode pad recesses 912 are located on the same side of the first electrode pad 91 and extend towards the inside of the first electrode pad 91. In another embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, a plurality of first electrode pad recesses 912 are located on two opposite sides of the first electrode pad 91 and extend towards the inside of the first electrode pad 91.
[0205] The second electrode pad 92 has a top view area smaller than a top view area included by the second extended electrode 72. As Figure 1 shown, the morphology of the second electrode pad recess 922 does not have to correspond to the morphology of the second extended electrode recess 722. As Figures 2 - 6 shown, the morphology of the second electrode pad recess 922 can correspond to the morphology of the second extended electrode recess 722. Even if the morphology of the second electrode pad recess 922 does not correspond to the morphology of the second extended electrode recess 722, as Figure 1 shown, to expand the area of the second electrode pad 92, the distance D between one side of one or more second electrode pad recesses 922 and one side of the second extended electrode recess 722 is less than the minimum distance d between the plurality of insulating reflection structure openings 400 minMoreover, a plurality of second electrode pad recesses 922 are located on the same side of the second electrode pad 92.
[0206] The first electrode pad 91 can be disposed on the first extended electrode 71 through the first opening 801 of the protection structure, and the second electrode pad 92 can be disposed on the second extended electrode 72 through the second opening 802 of the protection structure. A first bonding pad (not shown) can be disposed on the first electrode pad 91, and a second bonding pad (not shown) can be disposed on the second electrode pad 92. The first bonding pad and the second bonding pad can be formed of a conductive material (e.g., Sn or AuSn). As Figures 1 - 6 shown, in a top view, the first electrode pad 91 can be adjacent to the first side 11, and the second electrode pad 92 can be adjacent to the second side 12.
[0207] The first electrode pad 91 and the second electrode pad 92 include a metal material, such as metals or alloys of chromium (Cr), titanium (Ti), tungsten (W), gold (Au), aluminum (Al), indium (In), tin (Sn), nickel (Ni), platinum (Pt), silver (Ag), etc. The first electrode pad 91 and the second electrode pad 92 can be composed of a single layer or multiple layers. For example, the first electrode pad 91 or the second electrode pad 92 can include a Ti / Au layer, a Ti / Pt / Au layer, a Cr / Au layer, a Cr / Pt / Au layer, a Ni / Au layer, a Ni / Pt / Au layer, a Cr / Al / Cr / Ni / Au layer, or an Ag / NiTi / TiW / Pt layer. The first electrode pad 91 and the second electrode pad 92 can serve as current paths for supplying power from an external power source to the first semiconductor layer 21 and the second semiconductor layer 23. In one embodiment, each of the first electrode pad 91 and the second electrode pad 92 has a thickness ranging from 0.5 micrometers to 5 micrometers.
[0208] In one embodiment, an insulating layer 42, an insulating structure 60, and a protection structure 80 are disposed on a semiconductor stack 20 as a protective film for optoelectronic elements 1 to 6 and an interlayer insulating film for preventing electrostatic charge. In one embodiment, as the insulating film, the insulating layer 42, the insulating structure 60, and the protection structure 80 may be a single-layer structure containing a metal oxide or a metal nitride. For example, at least one oxide or nitride selected from the group consisting of silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), and aluminum (Al) may be preferably used. In another embodiment, the insulating layer 42, the insulating structure 60, and the protection structure 80 include two or more materials having different refractive indices stacked alternately to form a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) structure that selectively reflects light of a specific wavelength. For example, a reflective structure with high reflectivity may be formed by stacking insulating layers of two or three materials such as SiO2, TiO2, Nb2O5, or Al2O3. For example, when a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) structure is formed by stacking sub-layers such as SiO2 / TiO2 or SiO2 / Nb2O5, each sub-layer of the distributed Bragg reflector structure is designed to have an optical thickness that is one or an integral multiple of a quarter of the wavelength of the light emitted from the active layer 22. The optical thickness of each sub-layer of the distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) structure may have a deviation of ±30% based on one or an integral multiple of λ / 4. Since a change in the optical thickness of each sub-layer of the distributed Bragg reflector structure affects the reflectivity, the physical thickness of each sub-layer in the insulating layer 42, the insulating structure 60, and the protection structure 80 obtained based on the optical thickness of the distributed Bragg reflector structure may be formed by electron beam evaporation to stably control the thickness of each sub-layer in the insulating layer 42, the insulating structure 60, and the protection structure 80.
