Light emitting device

Abstract

A light emitting element includes an insulating substrate; a semiconductor portion disposed on the substrate, the semiconductor portion having an n-type semiconductor layer and a p-type semiconductor layer in order from a substrate side; an n-side electrode electrically connected to the n-type semiconductor layer; and a p-side electrode electrically connected to the p-type semiconductor layer. The semiconductor portion includes a first through portion defined by a first inner surface formed at the semiconductor portion, the first through portion penetrating through the n-type semiconductor layer and the p-type semiconductor layer to expose the substrate. The p-side electrode includes: a p-side light-transmissive member that is connected to the p-type semiconductor layer and extends above the substrate in the first through portion, and a p-side pad portion that is disposed in the first through portion and that is connected to the p-side light-transmissive member above the substrate in the first through portion.
