Patent ID: 7723742

Claim:
A semiconductor light-emitting device comprising: a multilayer structure including a plurality of laminated semiconductor layers, having first and second main faces opposing each other, and generating light; a first electrode arranged on the first main face of the multilayer structure; a second electrode arranged on the second main face of the multilayer structure; a film made of silicon oxide and formed on the first main face so as to cover the first electrode; and a glass substrate, optically transparent to the light generated by the multilayer structure, secured to the multilayer structure through the film made of silicon oxide, wherein the multilayer structure includes a contact layer of a first conductive type, a first distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) layer of the 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 successively laminated as the plurality of compound semiconductor layers, and wherein the multilayer structure has a multilayer region partially including the contact layer, first DBR layer, first cladding layer, active layer, and second cladding layer; and an insulated or semi-insulated current-narrowing region surrounding the multilayer region, the semiconductor light-emitting device further comprising: a first pad electrode arranged on the second main face of the multilayer structure; and a through lead penetrating through the multilayer structure; wherein the first electrode includes a wiring electrode electrically connected to a part included in the multilayer region in the contact layer, the wiring electrode being electrically connected to the first pad electrode through the through lead; and wherein the second electrode includes a second pad electrode electrically connected to the second DBR layer.
