Abstract

A nitride-based semiconductor LED which is flip-chip bonded on a lead pattern of a sub-mount through a bump ball comprises a substrate; a light-emitting structure formed on the substrate; an electrode formed on the light-emitting structure; a protective film formed on the resulting structure having the electrode formed therein, the protective film exposing the electrode surface corresponding to a portion which is connected to the lead pattern of the sub-mount through a bump ball; and a grid-shape buffer film formed on the electrode surface exposed through the protective film.

Claims (13)

1. A nitride-based semiconductor LED which is flip-chip bonded on a lead pattern of a sub-mount through a bump ball, the nitride-based semiconductor LED comprising:

a substrate;

a light-emitting structure formed on the substrate;

an electrode formed on the light-emitting structure;

a protective film formed on the resulting structure having the electrode formed therein, the protective film exposing the electrode surface corresponding to a portion which is connected to the lead pattern of the sub-mount through the bump ball; and

a grid-shaped buffer film formed on the electrode surface exposed through the protective film,

wherein the buffer film is formed of the same material as the protective film.

2. The nitride-based semiconductor LED according to claim 1 ,

wherein the buffer film is formed of a ceramic-based material.

3. The nitride-based semiconductor LED according to claim 2 ,

wherein the buffer film is formed of any one of SiO 2 and SiN.

4. The nitride-based semiconductor LED according to claim 1 ,

wherein a grid density of the grid-shaped buffer film is not smaller than a sectional area of wire.
