Abstract

An optoelectronic device includes a semiconductor stack including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a first contact layer on the first surface; and a second contact layer on the second surface. The second contact layer is not overlapped with the first contact layer in a vertical direction. The second contact layer includes a plurality of dots separating to each other and formed of semiconductor material.
