A flip chip light emitting diode die (12) includes a light-transmissive substrate (20) and a plurality of semiconductor layers (22) are disposed on the light-transmissive substrate (20). The semiconductor layers (22) define a light-generating p/n junction. An electrode (30) is formed on the semiconductor layers (22) for flip-chip bonding the diode die (12) to an associated mount (14). The electrode (30) includes an optically transparent layer (42) formed of a substantially optically transparent material adjacent to the semiconductor layers (22) that makes ohmic contact therewith, and a reflective layer (44) adjacent to the optically transparent layer (42) and in electrically conductive communication therewith.
