Semiconductor light emitting diode and method of producing the same

A method of producing a semiconductor light emitting diode, comprising the steps of:

• forming a first conductive semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductive semiconductor layer in this order on a growth substrate;
• forming an intermediate layer including an intermediate electrode portion on the second conductive semiconductor layer;
• bonding a support substrate onto the intermediate layer;
• exposing the first conductive semiconductor layer by removing the growth substrate;
• and
• forming an upper electrode portion having a pad portion and an extending portion on the exposed first conductive semiconductor layer,
• wherein the upper electrode portion and the intermediate electrode portion are disposed, in a view obtained by projecting these electrode portions on an imaginary plane in parallel with an upper surface of the support substrate, respectively, in a positional relationship wherein these electrode portions are offset from each other and a contour line of at least one of the extending portion of the upper electrode portion and the intermediate electrode portion extends in a wavy winding manner with a predetermined amplitude such that the extending portion of the upper electrode portion and the intermediate electrode portion facing each other have an inter-contour line distance varied therebetween.
