Claim:
1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting element comprising: forming a semiconductor stacked layer body on a substrate, the semiconductor stacked layer body comprising a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer having different conductivity types; removing a portion of the semiconductor stacked layer body and exposing the first semiconductor layer such that the second semiconductor layer includes an extending portion that extends in a plane direction; forming a conductor layer electrically connecting the first semiconductor layer and the extending portion of the second semiconductor layer such that a portion of an upper surface of the extending portion remains exposed from the conductor layer; after forming the conductor layer, forming a first electrode electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer and a second electrode electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer; forming a protective film covering at least a portion of the first electrode and at least a portion of the second electrode; and after forming the protective film, removing a portion of the exposed portion of the extending portion.
