Patent ID: 8399275

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device, comprising: forming a first interconnect layer in a first opening provided in a first insulating layer included in a stacked body, the stacked body including: a substrate; a plurality of semiconductor layers separated by a separation trench on the substrate, each of the semiconductor layers including a first major surface, a second major surface opposite to the first major surface and a light emitting layer; a first electrode provided on a region including the light emitting layer on the second major surface opposite to the substrate; a second electrode provided on the second major surface; and the first insulating layer provided on the second major surface side and including the first opening communicating with the first electrode and a second opening communicating with the second electrode; forming a second interconnect layer in the second opening in the first insulating layer; forming a first metal pillar on a face of the first interconnect layer opposite to the first electrode; forming a second metal pillar on a face of the second interconnect layer opposite to the second electrode; forming a second insulating layer between a side face of the first metal pillar and a side face of the second metal pillar; forming a transparent material on the first major surface of a semiconductor layer selected from the plurality of semiconductor layers on the basis of an emission spectrum of a light obtained from the first major surface side, the transparent material transmitting the light; and forming a phosphor layer on the transparent material and the first major surface of the plurality of the semiconductor layers.
