Abstract:
1. A semiconductor light emitting device comprising: a semiconductor layer having a first surface and a second surface on an opposite side to the first surface and including a light emitting layer; a p-side electrode provided on the semiconductor layer on a side of the second surface; an n-side electrode provided on the semiconductor layer on the side of the second surface; a fluorescent body layer provided on a side of the first surface and containing a plurality of fluorescent bodies configured to be excited by emission light of the light emitting layer and emit light of a different wavelength from the emission light, and a bonding material integrating the plurality of fluorescent bodies and configured to transmit the emission light, wherein an average spacing between adjacent ones of the plurality of fluorescent bodies is narrower than a peak wavelength of emission light of the light emitting layer; and an intermediate layer provided between the semiconductor layer and the fluorescent body layer, wherein the intermediate layer has a step on the side of the first surface such that the semiconductor layer is set back toward the p-side electrode and the n-side electrode.
