Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor light emitting device includes an electrode layer, a first semiconductor layer, a first elongated electrode, a second semiconductor layer, and a light emitting layer. The first semiconductor layer includes a crystal having a cleavage plane. The first semiconductor layer includes a first thin film portion and a thick film portion. The first thin film portion extends in a first direction perpendicular to a stacking direction from the electrode layer toward the first semiconductor layer. The first thin film portion has a first thickness. The thick film portion is arranged with the first thin film portion in a plane perpendicular to the stacking direction. An angle between the first direction and the cleavage plane is not less than 3 degrees and not more than 27 degrees. The first elongated electrode extends in the first direction in contact with the first thin film portion.
