Surface-emitting element

Abstract

To provide a surface-emitting element capable of improving stress resistance at a bottom portion of a mesa. A surface-emitting element according to the present technology includes a first structure including a first semiconductor structure, a second structure including a second semiconductor structure stacked with the first structure, and a light-emitting layer arranged between the first and second structures and including a light-emitting region, in which a mesa including at least a part of the first semiconductor structure, the light-emitting layer, and the second semiconductor structure and having a bottom portion in the at least a part is formed, and an outer peripheral surface of the bottom portion has a convex portion that circles around the light-emitting region in plan view. With the surface-emitting element according to the present technology, a surface-emitting element capable of improving stress resistance at a bottom portion of a mesa can be provided.
