Patent ID: 8178895

Claim:
A semiconductor light-emitting device comprising: a submount having a first surface, a second surface that is substantially parallel to the first surface, and a third surface connecting the first surface and the second surface; a semiconductor light-emitting element located adjacent the first surface of the submount; a base board on which the second surface of the submount is fixed via a fixing member; and a transparent seal resin configured to seal at least the semiconductor light-emitting element and the submount so that the transparent seal resin also covers at least a part of the third surface and a part of the base board, wherein the second surface of the submount that is fixed on the base board has a smaller area than a maximum cross section area of the submount cut along a plane substantially parallel to both the first surface and the second surface of the submount, the fixing member is disposed between the base board and the second surface of the submount as well as on part of the third surface and is covered by the transparent seal resin.
