Abstract
The present invention is directed to the provision of a semiconductor light-emitting element that has an electrode formed with a desired thickness using a plated metal layer. A semiconductor light-emitting element for flip-chip mounting on a circuit substrate includes a semiconductor layer including a light-emitting layer, an N-side bump electrode for connecting the semiconductor layer to the circuit substrate, and a P-type bump electrode for connecting the semiconductor layer to the circuit substrate, wherein the N-side bump electrode and the P-type bump electrode each include an under-bump metal layer and a plated metal layer, the under-bump metal layer includes a high-reflectivity metal layer disposed on a side that faces the semiconductor layer and a metal layer disposed on a side opposite from the semiconductor layer, and the plated metal layer has a thickness not less than 3 μm but not greater than 30 μm.
