Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting element comprises steps of forming a semiconductor layer composed of a Group III nitride based compound semiconductor on a principal surface of a substrate; forming a transparent conductive metal oxide film on the semiconductor layer; forming an electrode above the transparent conductive metal oxide film; forming a mask layer for covering a part of the transparent conductive metal oxide film; and heat treating the transparent conductive metal oxide film having the mask layer formed thereon in an oxygen-containing atmosphere; wherein, in the heat treatment step, an oxygen concentration of a remaining part of the transparent conductive metal oxide film which is not covered by the mask layer is made higher than an oxygen concentration of a part of the transparent conductive metal oxide film which is covered by the mask layer.
