Abstract:
A semiconductor light-emitting device comprising:a substrate; a semiconductor layer including at least a light-emitting region; a metal layer having a light transmitting characteristic on the semiconductor layer; a fluorescent material layer for converting at least a portion of first light emitted from the light-emitting region into second light having a different wavelength from the first light; and an oxide semiconductor layer formed between and directly contacting the metal layer and the fluorescent material layer, and having a light-transmitting characteristic, wherein the first light transmitting into the fluorescent material layer to convert the wavelength is light transmitted through the metal layer, wherein: a bottom surface area of the metal layer is smaller than a bottom surface area of the oxide semiconductor layer; and the fluorescent material layer covers a side face of the oxide semiconductor layer and a side face of the semiconductor layer.
