ABSTRACT:
A silicon light emitting diode capable of effectively utilizing light radiated toward the lateral side of a substrate by including a side reflecting mirror is provided. The silicon-based light emitting diode includes a p-type silicon substrate having a plurality of grooves, a light emitting diode layer formed on each of the grooves of the silicon substrate, the light emitting diode layer including an active layer, an n-type doped layer, and a transparent electrode layer, and a metal electrode including a lower metal electrode formed on the bottom surface of the p-type silicon substrate and an upper metal electrode formed on the top surface of the transparent electrode layer. The lateral surface of each of the grooves is separated from the light emitting diode layer and used as a reflecting mirror. The lateral surface is referred to as the side reflecting mirror.
