Patent ID: 8692285

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting device comprising: a base substrate; a multilayer epitaxial structure that includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer and a light emitting layer that is formed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the first conductive layer being disposed on a main surface of the base substrate in such a manner to be positioned closer to the base substrate than the second conductive layer; a first electrode that is electrically connected to the first conductive layer; a second electrode that is electrically connected to the second conductive layer; an insulating film is disposed on each side surface of the multilayer epitaxial structure and part of an upper surface of the multilayer epitaxial structure, a first conductive film and a second conductive film are disposed on the main surface of the base substrate, the second conductive film is disposed on one side surface of the insulating film, a first power feed terminal and a second power feed terminal are disposed on at least one of two main surfaces of the base substrate, the first electrode is electrically connected to the first power feed terminal via the first conductive film, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the second power feed terminal via the second conductive film that extends over the insulating film on the side surface and the upper surface of the multilayer epitaxial structure to electrically contact the second electrode on the second conductive layer.
