Abstract
A semiconductor light emitting device (A) includes a lead frame (1) having a constant thickness, a semiconductor light emitting element (2) supported by the lead frame (1), a case (4) covering part of the lead frame (1) and a light transmitting member (5) covering the semiconductor light emitting element (2). The lead frame (1) includes a die bonding pad (11a) and an elevated portion (11b). The die bonding pad (11a) includes an obverse surface on which the semiconductor light emitting element (2) is mounted, and a reverse surface exposed from the case (4). The elevated portion (11b) is shifted in position from the die bonding pad (11a) in the direction normal to the obverse surface of the die bonding pad (11a).
