Abstract

The present invention discloses a semiconductor light-emitting device including a semiconductor light-emitting element, a first attaching layer and a wavelength conversion structure. The primary light emitted from the semiconductor light-emitting element enters the wavelength conversion structure to generate a converted light, whose wavelength is different form that of the primary light. In addition, the present invention also provides the method for forming the same.
