Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor light-emitting device comprising the steps of: (a) forming, in sequence, a first compound semiconductor layer having a first conductivity type, an active layer, and a second compound semiconductor layer having a second conductivity type that is different from the first conductivity type on a principal surface of a semiconductor light-emitting device manufacturing substrate; (b) forming a transparent conductive material layer on the second compound semiconductor layer; (c) forming an insulating layer on the transparent conductive material layer, the insulating layer being composed of a transparent insulating material and having an opening; (d) forming a second electrode that reflects light from a light-emitting portion on the transparent conductive material layer exposed at a bottom of the opening and on the insulating layer in a continuous manner; (e) bonding the second electrode to a supporting substrate and removing the semiconductor light-emitting device manufacturing substrate; and (f) patterning the first compound semiconductor layer, the active layer, the second compound semiconductor layer, and the transparent conductive material layer together with the insulating layer and the second electrode to obtain the light-emitting portion in which the first compound semiconductor layer, the active layer, and the second compound semiconductor layer are laminated in sequence, wherein, assuming that an area of the active layer constituting the light-emitting portion is S
