METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE AND SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE WAFER

摘要

According to one embodiment, a method is disclosed for manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device. The method can include forming a nitride semiconductor layer including a light emitting layer on a first substrate having an unevenness, bonding the nitride layer to a second substrate, and separating the first substrate from the nitride layer by irradiating the nitride layer with light. The forming the nitride layer includes leaving a cavity in a space inside a depression of the unevenness while forming a thin film on the depression. The film includes a same material as part of the nitride layer. The separating includes causing the film to absorb part of the light so that intensity of the light applied to a portion of the nitride layer facing the depression is made lower than intensity of the light applied to a portion facing a protrusion of the unevenness.
