Abstract

A gallium nitride-based group III-V compound semiconductor light emitting device and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The gallium nitride-based group III-V compound semiconductor light emitting device includes: a substrate; a p-type ohmic electrode layer formed on the substrate; a p-type gallium nitride-based group III-V compound semiconductor layer formed on the p-type ohmic electrode layer; an n-type gallium nitride-based group III-V compound semiconductor layer formed on the p-type gallium nitride-based group III-V compound semiconductor layer; an n-type ohmic electrode layer formed on the n-type gallium nitride-based group III-V compound semiconductor layer; and first and second refractive index adjustment layers having refractive index smaller than those of the n-type gallium nitride-based group III-V compound semiconductor layer and the n-type ohmic electrode layer, wherein a pyramid structure is formed on the surface of the second refractive index adjustment layer.
