Patent ID: 7719017

Claim:
A semiconductor light-emitting device comprising a multilayer structure, the multilayer structure including a plurality of compound semiconductor layers laminated and the multilayer structure generating light; the multilayer structure having a light exit face for emitting the generated light, a glass substrate optically transparent to the light being fixed to the light exit face by way of a film made of silicon oxide; wherein the multilayer structure includes a first distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) layer of a first conductive type, a first cladding layer of the first conductive type, an active layer, a second cladding layer of a second conductive type, and a second DBR layer of the second conductive type sequentially laminated as the plurality of compound semiconductor layers; wherein the multilayer structure has a multilayer region partially including the first DBR layer, first cladding layer, active layer, second cladding layer, and second DBR layer; and an insulated or semi-insulated current-narrowing region surrounding the multilayer region; wherein the first DBR layer is arranged between the first cladding layer and the film made of silicon oxide; wherein the multilayer structure further comprises a contact layer of the first conductive type positioned between the film made of silicon oxide and the first DBR layer; wherein the multilayer structure has; a light-emitting part including the multilayer region; and a pad electrode mounting part partially including the first DBR layer, first cladding layer, active layer, second cladding layer, and second DBR layer; the semiconductor light-emitting device further comprising: a first pad electrode arranged on the light-emitting part and electrically connected to the multilayer region; and a second pad electrode arranged on the pad electrode mounting part and electrically connected to the contact layer, wherein the second pad electrode is electrically connected to the contact layer through an opening formed between the light-emitting part and the pad electrode mounting part.
