US Patent 7795059 Method of fabricating a semiconductor light-emitting device

A semiconductor light-emitting element has a laminated section which has an active layer made of a semiconductor, and first and second clad layers each being disposed to sandwich the active layer and made of a semiconductor, a pair of first high-reflection layers each being disposed to sandwich the active layer in a first direction orthogonal to the laminated direction of the laminated section, and a low-reflection layer and a second high-reflection layer each being disposed to sandwich the active layer in a second direction orthogonal to the laminated direction and crossing to the first direction.
