摘要

The present invention relates to a vertical type light emitting diode, a method for manufacturing the same, an ultraviolet ray light emitting diode, and a method for manufacturing the same. A vertical type light emitting diode according to the present invention is on the basis of a nitride semiconductor having a p-n conjunction structure, a transparent material layer is formed on a p type clad layer, the transparent material layer having a refractive index different from that of the p type clad layer and having a pattern structure. A reflective metal electrode layer is formed on the transparent material layer as a p-electrode. After a stereoscopic pattern is formed in the transparent material layer, the p-electrode is deposited, and thus a pattern is formed in the p-electrode. Light from an active layer is emitted in a wide radiation angle by the pattern formed in the p-electrode, and reflectance is improved according to a patterned form and a refractive index of a material. Meanwhile, in depositing the p-electrode on the p type clad layer in the ultraviolet ray light emitting diode, when the p-electrode is deposited on only 10 to 70 % of the upper portion of the p type clad layer, an area where the p type clad layer is exposed is wide, therefore it is possible to increase a transmittance of ultraviolet rays through an area where the p-electrode is not deposited. A form of the p-electrode may be a mesh form, a punched plate form, a one-dimensional grid form, etc. The vertical type light emitting diode of the present invention is manufactured through a simple process, and has high reflection efficiency since light is emitted in a wide angle by the pattern of the p-electrode. Therefore, the present invention can provide a highly efficient vertical type light emitting diode. In addition, even when emitted light is ultraviolet rays, a transmittance can be increased.
