Abstract

The invention discloses a semiconductor light-emitting device. The semiconductor light-emitting device according to the invention includes a substrate, a multi-layer structure, at least one electrode structure, and a light reflector. The substrate has an upper surface. The multi-layer structure is formed on the upper surface of the substrate. The multi-layer structure includes a light-emitting region and at least one semiconductor material layer. The multi-layer structure also has a top surface. The at least one electrode structure is formed on the top surface of the multi-layer structure. The light reflector is formed on the top surface of the multi-layer structure.
