Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting element, comprising: bonding a stacked main body to a substrate main body, the stacked main body being included in a structural body, the structural body further including a growth substrate, the stacked main body being provided on the growth substrate, the stacked main body including a first nitride semiconductor film of a first conductivity type, a light emitting film provided on the first nitride semiconductor film, and a second nitride semiconductor film of a second conductivity type provided on the light emitting film, tensile stress being applied to the stacked main body; removing the growth substrate; forming a plurality of stacked bodies by dividing the stacked main body into a plurality of regions by removing a portion of the stacked main body, the stacked bodies including a first nitride semiconductor layer formed from the first nitride semiconductor film, a second nitride semiconductor layer formed from the second nitride semiconductor film, and a light emitting layer formed from the light emitting film; forming an uneven portion in a surface of the first nitride semiconductor layer on a side opposite to the light emitting layer for each of the stacked bodies; and forming a plurality of the semiconductor light emitting elements by dividing the substrate main body for each of the stacked bodies, each of the semiconductor light emitting elements including the stacked body and a supporting substrate formed from the divided substrate main body, wherein the removing of the growth substrate includes polishing the growth substrate to cause a thickness of the growth substrate to be not less than 5 μm and not more than 50 μm.
