1. A semiconductor light-emitting device, comprising:

  • a plurality of semiconductor layers composed of a first semiconductor layer having first conductivity, a second semiconductor layer having second conductivity different from the first conductivity, and an active layer disposed between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, for generating light via electron-hole recombination, wherein the plurality of semiconductor layers are grown sequentially using a growth substrate;

    a first electrode for providing either electrons or holes to the first semiconductor layer and electrically connected with the first semiconductor layer;

    a non-conductive reflective film formed over the second semiconductor layer to reflect light from the active layer towards the first semiconductor layer which is on the growth substrate side;

    a second electrode for bonding, electrically connected with the second semiconductor layer and formed over and contacted with the non-conductive reflective film for providing remaining electrons or holes to the second semiconductor layer;

    a finger electrode formed between the plurality of semiconductor layers and the non-conductive reflective film, which is extended so as to provide the remaining electrons or holes to the second semiconductor layer, which is in electrical communication with the second semiconductor layer, and which has an electrical connection for receiving the remaining electrons or holes and for connecting the finger electrode with second electrode; and

    a light-transmitting conductive film formed between the non-conductive reflective film and the second semiconductor layer, for electrically communicating the finger electrode with the second semiconductor layer;

    wherein the non-conductive reflective film comprises a distributed bragg reflector (DBR).
