ABSTRACT:
In a light-emitting device and its manufacturing method, mounting by batch process with surface-mount technology, high light extraction efficiency, and low manufacturing cost are realized. The light-emitting device comprises semiconductor layers of p-type and n-type nitride semiconductor, semiconductor-surface-electrodes to apply currents into each of the semiconductor layers, an insulating layer which holds the semiconductor layers, and mount-surface-electrodes. The semiconductor layers has a non-deposited area where the other semiconductor layer is not deposited. The insulating layer has VIA which electrically connect the mount-surface-electrodes and the semiconductor-surface-electrodes. In the manufacturing process, firstly, semiconductor layers and semiconductor-surface-electrodes are deposited on the transparent crystal substrate, and by using build-up process, insulating layer and the mount-surface-electrodes are formed, and secondly, VIA are formed, and finally, the transparent crystal substrate is separated to get light-emitting device. Light can be extracted directly and efficiently from the semiconductor layers. With the mount-surface-electrodes, light-emitting device can be mounted by using surface mount technology.
