Patent ID: 8648375

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting device comprising: a semiconductor layer including a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a light emitting layer; a p-side electrode provided on the second surface in a region including the light emitting layer; an n-side electrode provided on the second surface in a region not including the light emitting layer; a first insulating film covering the p-side electrode and the n-side electrode; a p-side wiring section provided on the first insulating film and electrically connected to the p-side electrode through a first via penetrating through the first insulating film; an n-side wiring section provided on the first insulating film and electrically connected to the n-side electrode through a second via penetrating through the first insulating film; and a phosphor layer provided on the first surface, the phosphor layer having an upper surface and a plurality of oblique surfaces, each forming different oblique angles with respect to the first surface, the oblique surfaces including a first oblique surface forming an obtuse angle with respect to the upper surface and continuous with the upper surface, and a second oblique surface forming an obtuse angle with respect to the first oblique surface and continuous with the first oblique surface, and a thickness of the phosphor layer below the oblique surfaces being smaller than a thickness of the phosphor layer below the upper surface, and wherein a thickness of the phosphor layer above an end portion of the semiconductor layer is smaller than a thickness of the phosphor layer above a center portion of the first surface.
