Patent ID: 6900069

Claim:
A method of fabricating a surface-emission type light-emitting device including a column-shaped section formed on a substrate which functions as at least a part of a light-emitting device, which emits light in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, comprising the following steps (a) to (e): (a) a step of forming a multilayer film including an active layer on the substrate, and etching at least a part of the multilayer film so as to form the column-shaped section, (b) a step of forming a first resin layer so as to cover the column-shaped section, (c) a step of forming a second resin layer having a lower solubility than the first resin layer in a specific liquid, (d) a step of immersing, for a specific period of time, at least the second resin layer in the specific liquid having characteristics which cause the second resin layer to dissolve, so as to remove the second resin layer at least in the area formed over the column-shaped section, and (e) a step of forming an insulating layer which covers a side surface of the column-shaped section by curing the second resin layer.
