Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor light emitting device includes a metal substrate, a first semiconductor layer, a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, a light emitting layer, a first intermediate layer and a second intermediate layer. The substrate has a coefficient of thermal expansion not more than 10×10m/K. The first and second semiconductor layer include a nitride semiconductor. The second semiconductor layer is provided between the substrate and the first semiconductor layer. The emitting layer is provided between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer. The first intermediate layer is provided between the substrate and the second semiconductor layer. The second intermediate layer is provided between the first intermediate layer and the second semiconductor layer. a surface roughness of a first surface of the substrate contacting the first intermediate layer is less than a thickness of the first intermediate layer.
