Abstract

A semiconductor light emitting device includes: first and second conductive type semiconductor layers; an active layer disposed between the first and second conductive type semiconductor layers; and first and second electrodes disposed on one surface of each of the first and second conductive type semiconductor layers, respectively, wherein at least one of the first and second electrodes includes a pad part and a finger part formed to extend from the pad part, and the end of the finger part has an annular shape. Because a phenomenon in which current is concentrated in a partial area of the finger part is minimized, tolerance to electrostatic discharge (ESD) can be strengthened and light extraction efficiency can be improved.
