As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the shape of the n-type semiconductor layer 112 in a planar view is approximately triangular. The upper surface of the n-type semiconductor layer 112, which is located on the opposite side to the light-emitting layer 113, has multiple protrusions. The convex portion of n-type semiconductor layer 112 is disposed in a portion that overlaps light emitting layer 113 in plan view.

[0026] The second light-emitting section 120 has a p-type semiconductor layer 121 as a first semiconductor layer, an n-type semiconductor layer 122 as a second semiconductor layer, and a light-emitting layer 123. The light-emitting layer 123 is disposed between the p-type semiconductor layer 121 and the n-type semiconductor layer 122. The p-type semiconductor layer 121 is disposed on the light-reflective conductive layer 72 and the second insulating layer 40, away from the opening 44 in a planar view, and the light-emitting layer 123 is disposed on the p-type semiconductor layer 121.

X Al Y Ga 1-X-Y The term "nitride semiconductor" includes all semiconductors with compositions in which the composition ratios x and y in the chemical formula represented by N (0≦X, 0≦Y, X+Y<1) are varied within their respective ranges. Furthermore, the term "nitride semiconductor" also includes semiconductors with the above chemical formula that further contain a Group V element other than N (nitrogen), and semiconductors that further contain various elements added to control various physical properties such as conductivity type. The p-type semiconductor layers 111 and 121, the n-type semiconductor layers 112 and 122, and the light-emitting layers 113 and 123 may each have a single-layer structure or a stacked structure having multiple semiconductor layers with different semiconductor compositions and film thicknesses. In particular, the light-emitting layers 113 and 123 preferably have a single quantum well or multiple quantum well structure in which thin semiconductor layers that generate quantum effects are stacked. The n-type semiconductor layers 112 and 122 have a semiconductor layer containing n-type impurities.

The peak wavelength of the light emitted by light-emitting layers 113 and 123 is, for example, 210 nm or more and 580 nm or less. Note that the peak wavelength of the light emitted by light-emitting layer 113 may be different from the peak wavelength of the light emitted by light-emitting layer 123.
[0029] The first wiring 210 is electrically connected to the p-type semiconductor layer 111 of the first light emitting section 110 through the opening 41. The second wiring 220 is electrically connected to the n-type semiconductor layer 112 of the first light emitting section 110 through the opening 42, and is electrically connected to the p-type semiconductor layer 121 of the second light emitting section 120 through the opening 43. The third wiring 230 is electrically connected to the n-type semiconductor layer 122 of the second light emitting section 120 through the opening 44.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 3 , the third insulating layer 50 is disposed to cover the semiconductor structure 100 and the second insulating layer 40. The third insulating layer 50 is, for example, a layer containing at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, and silicon oxynitride. The upper surfaces of the third insulating layer 50 that overlap the n-type semiconductor layers 112 and 122 have shapes that reflect the shapes of the convex portions on the upper surfaces of the n-type semiconductor layers 112 and 122 in a cross-sectional view. The stack of the second insulating layer 40 and the third insulating layer 50 has openings 51 and 52. The openings 51 and 52 penetrate the stack of the second insulating layer 40 and the third insulating layer 50. The opening 51 reaches the connection portion 450 of the first wiring 210, and the opening 52 reaches the connection portions 412, 413, and 414 of the third wiring 230. The thickness of the third insulating layer 50 is, for example, 0.01 μm or more and 2 μm or less.
[0031] The first pad electrode 61 is disposed on the connection portion 450 inside the opening 51. The first pad electrode 61 is electrically connected to the connection portion 450. That is, the first pad electrode 61 is separated from the semiconductor structure 100 in a plan view and electrically connected to the first wiring 210. The second pad electrode 62 is disposed on the connection portions 412, 413, and 414 inside the opening 52. The second pad electrode 62 is electrically connected to the connection portions 412, 413, and 414. That is, the second pad electrode 62 is separated from the semiconductor structure 100 in a plan view and electrically connected to the third wiring 230. As shown in FIG. 3 , the first insulating layer 30 is disposed between the connection portion 450 and the conductive member 20, and is also disposed between the connection portion 413 and the conductive member 20. That is, the first insulating layer 30 is disposed between the first pad electrode 61 and the conductive member 20 and between the second pad electrode 62 and the conductive member 20. Although not shown, the first insulating layer 30 is also disposed between the connecting portions 412 and 414 and the conductive member 20.
[0032] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 , the first insulating layer 30 has an opening 31 as a first opening. The opening 31 penetrates the first insulating layer 30. The opening 31 is disposed inside the opening 41 in a plan view, and overlaps with at least the opening 41 in a plan view. A portion of the conductive member 20 is disposed inside the opening 31, and the first wiring 210 is in contact with the conductive member 20. That is, the first wiring 210 is electrically connected to the conductive member 20 through the opening 31. On the other hand, the second wiring 220 and the third wiring 230 are not in contact with the conductive member 20. The first insulating layer 30 may have a plurality of openings 31.
[0033] In the first embodiment, the first wiring 210 is electrically connected to the conductive member 20 through the opening 31. This reduces the sheet resistance between the first pad electrode 61 and the p-type semiconductor layer 111, and reduces the forward voltage compared to when the first wiring 210 is not electrically connected to the conductive member 20 through the opening 31. Furthermore, compared to when the first insulating layer 30 does not have the opening 31, heat generated in the semiconductor structure 100 is more easily transferred to the conductive member 20, improving heat dissipation.
[0034] In particular, since the opening 31 overlaps with the opening 41 in a plan view, the sheet resistance in the vicinity of the region 216 that functions as a contact region of the first wiring 210 with the p-type semiconductor layer 111 can be easily reduced.
[0035] In a plan view, the area of the opening 31 is preferably 10% or more and 50% or less of the area of the first light-emitting section 110. When the area of the opening 31 is 10% or more of the area of the first light-emitting section 110, the sheet resistance of the first wiring 210 can be easily reduced. On the other hand, when the area of the opening 31 is 50% or less of the area of the first light-emitting section 110, the area in which the second wiring 220 can be arranged can be easily increased.
[0036] (Second embodiment) Next, a light-emitting device according to a second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the configuration of the first insulating layer 30.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the light-emitting device according to the second embodiment. FIG. 6 corresponds to the cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in FIG. 4.
[0037] Layer 5A in FIG. 5 shows the arrangement of first wiring 210, second wiring 220, and third wiring 230 relative to substrate 10. Layer 5B in FIG. 5 shows the arrangement of opening 32 in first insulating layer 30, the arrangement of openings 41, 42, 43, and 44 in second insulating layer 40, and the arrangement of regions 216, 226, 227, and 236 within openings 41, 42, 43, and 44 of first wiring 210, second wiring 220, and third wiring 230 relative to substrate 10. Layer 5C in FIG. 5 shows the arrangement of n-type semiconductor layers 112 and 122 relative to substrate 10. In addition, two vertices 11 and 13 of substrate 10 are connected by dashed double-dashed lines between layers 5A, 5B, and 5C.
[0038] In the light-emitting element 2 according to the second embodiment, the second insulating layer 40 has an opening 44 as a second opening instead of the opening 41. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the first insulating layer 30 has a plurality of openings 32 as first openings instead of the opening 31. The openings 32 penetrate the first insulating layer 30. The openings 32 are arranged inside the second extending portion 422 of the third wiring 230 in a planar view. The openings 32 overlap with the region 236 as a second region in a planar view. The number of openings 32 may be one.
[0039] 4 and 5, the extending portion 420 of the third wiring 230 has a region 232 as a first region that overlaps with the n-type semiconductor layer 122 in a plan view. The opening 32 overlaps with the region 232 in a plan view. The third wiring 230 may have multiple regions 232.
[0040] A portion of the conductive member 20 is disposed inside the opening 32, and the third wiring 230 is in contact with the conductive member 20. That is, the third wiring 230 is electrically connected to the conductive member 20 through the opening 32. On the other hand, the first wiring 210 and the second wiring 220 are not in contact with the conductive member 20.
[0041] Other configurations of the second embodiment are basically the same as those of the first embodiment.
[0042] In the second embodiment, the third wiring 230 is electrically connected to the conductive member 20 through the opening 32. This reduces the sheet resistance between the second pad electrode 62 and the n-type semiconductor layer 122, thereby reducing the forward voltage. Furthermore, heat generated in the semiconductor structure 100 is easily transferred to the conductive member 20, improving heat dissipation.
[0043] In particular, since the opening 32 overlaps with the opening 44 in a plan view, it is easy to reduce the sheet resistance in the vicinity of the region 236 of the third wiring 230 that functions as a contact region for the n-type semiconductor layer 122. Furthermore, since the opening 32 overlaps with the region 232 of the third wiring 230 that overlaps with the n-type semiconductor layer 122 in a plan view, it is easy to increase the area of the opening 32 and the contact area between the third wiring 230 and the conductive member 20. Furthermore, since the extension 420 of the third wiring 230 has both the region 232 and the region 236 disposed inside the opening 44, it is easy to increase the size of the opening 32 and the contact area between the third wiring 230 and the conductive member 20.
[0044] In a plan view, the area of the opening 32 is preferably 10% or more and 50% or less of the area of the second light-emitting section 120. When the area of the opening 32 is 10% or more of the area of the second light-emitting section 120, it is easy to reduce the sheet resistance of the third wiring 230. When the area of the opening 32 is 50% or less of the area of the second light-emitting section 120, it is easy to increase the area in which the second wiring 220 can be arranged.
[0045] (Third embodiment) Next, a third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment mainly in the configuration of the opening 32. Fig. 7 is a top view showing some of the components of the light-emitting device according to the third embodiment.
[0046] In the light emitting element 3 according to the third embodiment, the opening 32 is arranged so as to overlap the first extending portion 421 and the second extending portion 422 in a plan view. The opening 32 may also overlap the connecting portion 413 in a plan view.
[0047] Other configurations of the third embodiment are basically the same as those of the second embodiment.
[0048] In the third embodiment, the openings 32 are arranged over a wider range than in the second embodiment. Therefore, the sheet resistance between the second pad electrode 62 and the n-type semiconductor layer 122 can be reduced more than in the second embodiment, and the forward voltage can be further reduced. In addition, the heat dissipation performance can be further improved.
[0049] (Fourth embodiment) Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. The fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the configuration of the first insulating layer 30. FIG. 8 is a top view showing some of the components of the light-emitting device according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 9 is an exploded top view showing some of the components of the light-emitting device according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing the light-emitting device according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 10 corresponds to the cross-sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. 8.
[0050] Layer 9A in FIG. 9 shows the arrangement of the first wiring 210, the second wiring 220, and the third wiring 230 relative to the substrate 10. Layer 9B in FIG. 9 shows the arrangement of the openings 33 and 34 in the first insulating layer 30, the arrangement of the openings 41, 42, 43, and 44 in the second insulating layer 40, and the arrangement of the regions 216, 226, 227, and 236 within the openings 41, 42, 43, and 44 of the first wiring 210, the second wiring 220, and the third wiring 230 relative to the substrate 10. Layer 9C in FIG. 9 shows the arrangement of the n-type semiconductor layers 112 and 122 relative to the substrate 10. In addition, the two vertices 11 and 13 of the substrate 10 are connected by dashed double-dashed lines between layers 9A, 9B, and 9C.
[0051] In the light-emitting element 4 according to the fourth embodiment, the second insulating layer 40 has an opening 42 as a second opening instead of the opening 41, and an opening 43 as a fourth opening. Furthermore, the first insulating layer 30 has an opening 33 as a first opening and an opening 34 as a first or third opening instead of the opening 31. The openings 33 and 34 penetrate the first insulating layer 30. The opening 33 is disposed inside the extension 221 of the second wiring 220 in a planar view and overlaps with at least the opening 42 in a planar view. The opening 34 is disposed inside the opening 43 in a planar view and overlaps with at least the opening 43 in a planar view. The second wiring 220 has a region 223 that overlaps with the n-type semiconductor layer 112 in a planar view. The opening 33 overlaps with the region 223 as a first region in a planar view. The first insulating layer 30 may have a plurality of openings 33 or a plurality of openings 34. The second insulating layer 40 may have a plurality of openings 42. The opening 33 may have a plurality of regions 223 .
[0052] A part of the conductive member 20 is disposed inside the opening 33, and another part is disposed inside the opening 34, and the second wiring 220 is in contact with the conductive member 20. In other words, the second wiring 220 is electrically connected to the conductive member 20 through the openings 33 and 34. On the other hand, the first wiring 210 and the third wiring 230 are not in contact with the conductive member 20.
[0053] Other configurations of the fourth embodiment are basically the same as those of the first embodiment.
[0054] In the fourth embodiment, the second wiring 220 is electrically connected to the conductive member 20 through the openings 33 and 34. This reduces the sheet resistance between the n-type semiconductor layer 112 and the p-type semiconductor layer 121, thereby reducing the forward voltage. Furthermore, heat generated in the semiconductor structure 100 is easily transferred to the conductive member 20, improving heat dissipation.
[0055] In particular, since opening 33 overlaps with opening 42 in a plan view, it is easy to reduce the sheet resistance in the vicinity of region 226 that functions as a contact region of second wiring 220 with n-type semiconductor layer 112. Similarly, since opening 34 overlaps with opening 43 in a plan view, it is easy to reduce the sheet resistance in the vicinity of region 227 that functions as a contact region of second wiring 220 with p-type semiconductor layer 121. Furthermore, since opening 33 overlaps with region 223 that overlaps with n-type semiconductor layer 112 of first wiring 210 in a plan view, it is easy to form opening 33 large, and it is easy to obtain a large area for the portion where first wiring 210 and conductive member 20 contact each other.
[0056] In plan view, the area of the opening 33 is preferably 10% or more and 50% or less of the area of the first light-emitting section 110. When the area of the opening 33 is 10% or more of the area of the first light-emitting section 110, the sheet resistance of the first wiring 210 can be easily reduced. When the area of the opening 33 is 50% or less of the area of the first light-emitting section 110, the area in which the second wiring 220 can be arranged can be easily increased. Furthermore, the area of the opening 34 is preferably 10% or more and 50% or less of the area of the second light-emitting section 120. When the area of the opening 34 is 10% or more of the area of the second light-emitting section 120, the sheet resistance of the second wiring 220 can be easily reduced. When the area of the opening 34 is 50% or less of the area of the second light-emitting section 120, the area in which the third wiring 230 can be arranged can be easily increased.
[0057] (Fifth embodiment) Next, a fifth embodiment will be described. The fifth embodiment differs from the first embodiment mainly in the configurations of the first wiring 210, the second wiring 220, and the third wiring 230. Fig. 11 is a top view showing some of the components of the light-emitting device according to the fourth embodiment.
[0058] In the light-emitting element 5 according to the fifth embodiment, the outer shape of the extending portion 460 of the first wiring 210 in a planar view has a portion parallel to the side connecting the vertices 11 and 12 and a portion parallel to the side connecting the vertices 14 and 11. Unlike the first embodiment, the extending portion 460 does not have a plurality of portions extending in a direction parallel to the diagonal line 91 connecting the vertices 11 and 13 in a planar view. The extending portion 460 has a shape having a recess recessed from the diagonal line 92 connecting the vertices 12 and 14 toward the vertex 11 in a planar view.
[0059] The outline of the extending portion 420 of the third wiring 230 in a plan view has a portion parallel to the side connecting the vertices 12 and 13, a portion parallel to the diagonal line 92 connecting the vertices 12 and 14, and a portion parallel to the side connecting the vertices 13 and 14. Unlike the first embodiment, the extending portion 420 does not have multiple second extending portions 422 in a plan view. The extending portion 420 extends in a direction parallel to the diagonal line 92 and is electrically connected to the n-type semiconductor layer 122 of the second light-emitting section 120 through multiple openings 44.
[0060] Unlike the first embodiment, the second wiring 220 does not have a plurality of extensions 221 in plan view. The outer shape of the second wiring 220 has a portion extending parallel to the diagonal line 92 in plan view, and is electrically connected to the n-type semiconductor layer 112 of the first light emitting section 110 through a plurality of openings 42.
[0061] Other configurations of the fifth embodiment are basically the same as those of the first embodiment, and the fifth embodiment can also achieve the same effects as the first embodiment.
[0062] In any of the second, third and fourth embodiments, the first wiring 210, the second wiring 220 and the third wiring 230 having the same configuration as in the fifth embodiment can be used.
[0063] The arrangement of the n-type semiconductor layer and pad electrodes is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment. Fig. 12 is a top view showing a modified example of the arrangement of the n-type semiconductor layer and pad electrodes.
[0064] 12 , the n-type semiconductor layers 112 and 122 have a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view. In a plan view, the n-type semiconductor layer 112 is disposed closer to the vertices 11 and 14 than a center line 93 connecting the midpoint of the side connecting the vertices 11 and 12 and the midpoint of the side connecting the vertices 13 and 14, and the n-type semiconductor layer 122 is disposed closer to the vertices 12 and 13 than the center line 93. In addition, in a plan view, the first pad electrode 61 is disposed near the midpoint of the side connecting the vertices 11 and 14, and the second pad electrode 62 is disposed near the midpoint of the side connecting the vertices 12 and 13.
[0065] Although not shown in the drawings, the first wiring 210, the second wiring 220, the third wiring 230, the opening 31 in the first insulating layer 30, and the openings 41, 42, 43, and 44 in the second insulating layer 40 are arranged in the same manner as in the first embodiment, in accordance with the arrangement of the first pad electrode 61, the second pad electrode 62, and the n-type semiconductor layers 112 and 122. The components included in the semiconductor structure 100 other than the n-type semiconductor layers 112 and 122 are also arranged in the same manner as in the first embodiment, in accordance with the arrangement of the first pad electrode 61, the second pad electrode 62, and the n-type semiconductor layers 112 and 122.
