Abstract
The present invention relates to a vertical/horizontal light-emitting diode for a semiconductor. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a semiconductor light-emitting diode comprising: a conductive substrate; a light-emitting structure including a first conductive semiconductor layer, an active layer and a second conductive semiconductor layer sequentially formed over the conductive substrate; a second conductive electrode including a conductive via that passes through the first conductive semiconductor and active layers to be connected with the second conductive semiconductor layer therein, and an electrical connector that extends from the conductive via and is exposed outside the light-emitting structure; a passivation layer for covering a dielectric and at least the side surface of the active layer of the light-emitting structure, the dielectric serving to electrically isolate the second conductive electrode from the conductive substrate, the first conductive semiconductor layer and the active layer; and a surface relief structure formed on the pathway of light emitted from the active layer. According to the present invention, a semiconductor light-emitting di…
