Patent number: 9306140Abstract: A semiconductor light-emitting device includes first and second semiconductor layer and a light-emitting layer between the first and second semiconductor layers. These layers are on a conductive substrate. A first electrode and a first electrode pad, which are electrically connected to each other, are the first semiconductor layer. A second electrode is between the substrate and the second semiconductor layer. A portion of the second electrode is not covered by the first semiconductor, second semiconductor, and light-emitting layers. A second electrode pad is on the exposed portion of the second electrode. The second electrode pad has a planar area that is less than a planar area of the first electrode pad. A third electrode is on a second surface of the conductive substrate such that the conductive substrate is between the third electrode and the second electrode. The third electrode is electrically connected to the second electrode pad.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2015Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventor: Kyohei Shibata

Patent number: 8698124Abstract: According to one embodiment, in a semiconductor light emitting device, a semiconductor laminated body is made by laminating, in order, a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity-type, a semiconductor light emitting layer and a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity-type. The semiconductor laminated body includes a plurality of trenches arranged in a periodical manner to penetrate through the second semiconductor layer and the semiconductor light emitting layer and reach the first semiconductor layer. An insulating film is buried into the trenches, and has transparency to light emitted from the semiconductor light emitting layer. A first electrode is electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer. A second electrode covers an upper surface of the second semiconductor layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2012Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventor: Kyohei Shibata

Patent number: 8420424Abstract: According to one embodiment, in a method for manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device, a transparent conductive film is formed on a semiconductor laminated body of a multilayer structure containing a light emitting unit. The transparent conductive film is a film transmissive to a light of a luminescence wavelength from the light emitting unit. A mask is formed on the portion of the transparent conductive film. The transparent conductive film is removed by wet etching through the mask so as to expose the semiconductor laminated body. The semiconductor laminated body is removed by anisotropically etching through the mask so as to remove the light emitting unit. The mask is removed. A first electrode is formed on the portion of the semiconductor laminated body exposed after removing the light emitting unit. A second electrode is formed on the portion of the transparent conductive film.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventor: Kyohei Shibata
