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

摘要

[PROBLEMS] To solve a matter that the light from a semiconductor light emitting element advances in all directions and only the light advancing in the illumination direction can be utilized, and although a means for inclining the side face of the semiconductor light emitting element and forming a reflective layer thereon is suggested, processing takes a lot of time because etching is used for inclining the side face and control of the inclining surface is difficult. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The semiconductor light emitting element is arranged on a submount and sealed with a sealant and then grooving is performed between adjoining semiconductor light emitting elements. The groove is filled with a reflective material and then the light exit surface is polished and cut into pieces thus obtaining a semiconductor light emitting device having a reflective layer formed on the side face.
