Composite light-emitting device, semiconductor light-emitting unit and method for fabricating the unit

摘要

A composite light-emitting device according to the present invention includes a light-emitting element including a transparent substrate and a multilayer structure formed on the substrate. The multilayer structure includes first and second semiconductor layers of first and second conductivity types, respectively. The device further includes a submount member for mounting the light-emitting element thereon. The principal surface of the submount member faces the multilayer structure. The submount member is electrically connected to the light-emitting element. The light-emitting element is covered with a wavelength-shifting resin member. The resin member is provided on the principal surface of the submount member and contains a photofluorescent or filtering compound. The photofluorescent compound shifts the wavelength of radiation that has been emitted from the light-emitting element, while the filtering compound partially absorbs the radiation.
