Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To improve efficiency of outside quantum of a light emitting element and to make a gallium nitride compound semiconductor layer side a light emitting observation surface by forming a translucent electrode formed of metal in a surface of a gallium nitride compound semiconductor layer doped with p-type dopant. CONSTITUTION:A wafer which is formed by laminating a buffer layer formed of GaN, an n-type GaN layer 2 and an Mg doped p-type GaN layer 3 on a sapphire substrate one by one is prepared and the n-type GaN layer 2 is exposed by etching the p-type GaN layer 3. Then, 0.03mum-thick Ni is deposited on the p-type GaN layer 3 and 0.07mum-thick Au is deposited on the Ni. Furthermore, Al is deposited also on the exposed n-type GaN layer 2. After deposition, the wafer is annealed at 500 deg.C for 10 minutes to acquire an alloy of Ni and Au and a translucent property. The wafer is cut to a chip 350mum square and is mounted on a cup-shaped lead frame as a light emitting diode.
