Abstract

A semiconductor light-emitting device includes: a substrate, an epitaxial layer structure disposed on the substrate, a first current blocking layer disposed on the epitaxial layer structure, a second current blocking layer disposed on the epitaxial layer structure, a current spreading layer disposed on the epitaxial layer structure and covering the first current blocking layer; a first electrode disposed on a side of the current spreading layer facing away from the epitaxial layer structure, and a second electrode disposed on the epitaxial layer structure and covering the second current blocking layer. The first current blocking layer includes a first main blocking portion and a first extended blocking portion. The second current blocking layer includes a second main blocking portion and a second extended blocking portion. The second extended blocking portion includes spacings. The first extended blocking portion is formed with convex structures. The convex structures are aligned with the spacings.
