<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor light-emitting element that suppresses light-emission in the lower part near the corner part of a stepped part while being a semiconductor light-emitting element provided with a ridge part and the stepped part. <P>SOLUTION: The semiconductor light-emitting element 1 has a semiconductor layer 11, in which an n-type clad layer 12, a photoactive layer 13, and a p-type clad layer 14 are formed in turn on one main face of an n-type substrate 10, and each p-type cap layer 21-23 formed on the semiconductor layer 11. A first insulating layer 41, a first metal layer 42, a second insulating layer 43, and a second metal layer 44 are further formed respectively in turn on in each prescribed region further on these layers. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
