Patent ID: 7442563

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device, comprising: providing a housing having a cavity, a power feed line, and a light emitting element electrically connected to the power feed line and located adjacent a bottom face of the cavity; forming a wavelength conversion layer within the cavity, the wavelength conversion layer forming including, filling a first optically transparent resin inside the cavity such that at least a portion of an upper surface of the light emitting element is exposed and a surface of the first optically transparent resin is formed in a substantial bowl shape with the surface of the first optically transparent resin rising upwards toward a periphery of the first optically transparent resin, filling a second optically transparent resin inside the cavity and over the first optically transparent resin, the second optically transparent resin including a wavelength conversion material, and hardening the first optically transparent resin and the second optically transparent resin.
