Abstract
A surface light-emission type semiconductor light-emitting device includes a first semiconductor layer; a light-emitting layer provided on the first semiconductor layer; a second semiconductor layer provided on the light-emitting layer; an uneven structure provided on the second semiconductor layer, the uneven structure including a protrusion and a recess next to the protrusion; a first metal layer covering the uneven structure; and a second metal layer provided between the uneven structure and the first metal layer. The second metal layer is provided on one of a bottom surface of the recess, an upper surface of the protrusion, or a side surface of the protrusion. The second metal layer has a reflectance for light radiated from the light-emitting layer, which is less than a reflectance of the first metal layer for the light.
