Abstract

A nitride based semiconductor LED is provided. In the nitride based semiconductor LED, an n-type nitride semiconductor layer is formed on a substrate. The n-type nitride semiconductor layer has the top surface divided into a first region and a second region with a finger structure, so that the first region and the second region are meshed with each other. An active layer is formed on the second region of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer. A p-type nitride semiconductor layer is formed on the active layer, and a reflective electrode is formed on the p-type nitride semiconductor layer. A p-electrode is formed on the reflective electrode, and an n-electrode is formed on the first region of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer. A plurality of n-type electrode pads are formed on the n-electrode. At least one of the n-type electrode pads are arranged adjacent to different sides of the n-electrode.
