Patent ID: 7880185

Claim:
A semiconductor light emitting device comprising: a substrate that has a cross sectional trapezoidal shape and includes a first main surface and a second main surface, the second main surface including a first oblique surface and a second oblique surface wherein each of the opposite edges of the second main surface are parallel to each other; a semiconductor multilayer structure formed on the first main surface of the substrate, the semiconductor multilayer structure including a light emitting layer; a first electrode and a second electrode formed on the semiconductor multilayer structure, power being supplied to the semiconductor multilayer, structure through the first electrode and the second electrode so as to cause the light emitting layer to emit light; and a first terminal and a second terminal respectively formed on the first oblique surface and the second oblique surface of the substrate; a first conductive member electrically connecting the first electrode to the first terminal; and a second conductive member electrically connecting the second electrode to the second terminal, wherein at least part of the first conductive member and at least part of the second conductive member are respectively plated-through holes formed on portions respectively corresponding to the first oblique surface and the second oblique surface.
