Abstract

A semiconductor light emitting element includes a p-type electrode which in turn includes a contact electrode layer including at least a Pt layer. Particularly, the semiconductor light emitting element further includes a layered structure including at least an n-type cladding layer, an active layer, and a p-type cladding layer; and a p-type contact layer formed above the layered structure, and the contact electrode layer is formed on the p-type contact layer.
