Abstract

The invention provides a semiconductor light-emitting device with II-V group (or II-IV-V group) compound contact layer and a method of fabricating the same. The semiconductor light-emitting device according to a preferred embodiment of the invention includes a substrate, a first conductive type semiconductor material layer, a light-emitting layer, a first electrode, a second conductive type semiconductor material layer, a II-V group (or II-IV-V group) compound contact layer, a transparent conductive layer, and a second electrode. The existence of the II-V group (or II-IV-V group) compound contact layer improves the ohmic contact between the second conductive type semiconductor material layer and the transparent conductive layer.
