Abstract

A light-emitting device includes a semiconductor light-emitting stack; a current injected portion formed on the semiconductor light-emitting stack; an extension portion having a first branch radiating from the current injected portion and a second branch extending from the first branch; an electrical contact structure between the second branch and the semiconductor light-emitting stack and having a first width; and a current blocking structure located right beneath the electrical contact structure and having a second width larger than the first width.

Claims (25)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a semiconductor light-emitting stack comprising a center and an edge;

a current injected portion on an upper surface of the semiconductor light-emitting stack, and located near the center of the upper surface of semiconductor light-emitting stack; and

an extension portion on the semiconductor light-emitting stack,

wherein the extension portion comprises multiple first branches, multiple second branches cross the first branches, and multiple third branches parallel to the edge,

wherein one end of each first branch is connected with the current injected portion, and the other end of each first branch is connected with one of the third branches, and

wherein a length of one of the multiple third branches is greater than that of one of the multiple second branches.

2. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein one of the multiple second branches comprises a first short branch and a first long branch having a length between that of the first short branch and that of the third branch.

3. The light-emitting device of claim 2 , wherein the first short branch is closer to the current injected portion than the first long branch.

4. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the multiple second branches are parallel to the edge.

5. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the multiple third branches are separated from each other.

6. The light-emitting device of claim 5 , wherein the multiple third branches are separated from each other along a diagonal line of the upper surface.

7. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the multiple third branches are formed along the edge.

8. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the multiple second branches are separated from each other.

9. The light-emitting device of claim 8 , wherein the multiple second branches are separated from each other along a diagonal line of the upper surface.

10. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the multiple first branches, the multiple second branches, and the multiple third branches are substantially formed concentrically.

11. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein one of the multiple first branches is perpendicular to one of the multiple third branches and one of the multiple second branches.

12. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising an electrical contact structure between the semiconductor light-emitting stack and the extension portion.

13. The light-emitting device of claim 12 , wherein a width of the electrical contact structure is not larger than that of one of the multiple second branches or one of the multiple third branches.

14. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the multiple first branches form a cross, and an intersection of the cross substantially at the center of the upper surface of semiconductor light-emitting stack.

15. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , further comprises a substrate, a conductive adhesive layer between the substrate and the semiconductor light-emitting stack, and a reflective layer between the conductive adhesive layer and the semiconductor light-emitting stack.

16. The light-emitting device of claim 15 , wherein the conductive adhesive layer comprises Al, Au, Pt, Zn, Ag, Ni, Ge, In, Sn, Ti, Pb, Cu, Pd, or other metal.

17. The light-emitting device of claim 15 , wherein the reflective layer comprises Al, Au, Pt, Zn, Ag, Ni, Ge, In, Sn or alloy thereof.

18. The light-emitting device of claim 15 , further comprises a current blocking structure between the reflective layer and the semiconductor light-emitting stack.

19. The light-emitting device of claim 1 , the upper surface of the semiconductor light-emitting stack is roughened.
