Abstract
A semiconductor light emitting device which includes at least one concave on a light extraction surface opposite to a surface on which a semiconductor stack comprising a light emitting layer between a n-type semiconductor layer and a p-type semiconductor layer is mounted. The concave has not less than two slopes each having a different slope angle in a direction that a diameter of the concave becomes narrower toward a bottom of the concave from an opening of the concave and a slope having a gentle slope angle is provided with irregularities and a slope having a steep slope angle is a flat surface.
