Patent ID: 8324632

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 first of two main surfaces of the base substrate in such a manner to be positioned closer to the base substrate than the second conductive layer is; a first electrode in contact with the first conductive layer; a second electrode in contact with the second conductive layer; an insulating film disposed on each side surface of the multilayer epitaxial structure and part of an upper surface of the multilayer epitaxial structure; a first power feed terminal and a second power feed terminal disposed on a second of the two main surfaces of the base substrate; and a first through hole and a second through hole disposed on the base substrate, wherein a first conductive film has an extended portion projecting from a bottom surface of the multilayer epitaxial structure, the first electrode is electrically connected to the first power feed terminal via the first conductive film, the extended portion and the first through hole, a second conductive film is disposed on the insulating film, the second electrode is electrically connected to the second power feed terminal via the second conductive film and the second through hole, the first electrode is a high-reflective electrode, and a light reflection film is disposed on the first main surface of the base substrate, around the multilayer epitaxial structure.
