ABSTRACT:
A wedge-like etching groove is formed so that stresses can be collected along a cleavage surface of a nitride based compound semiconductor, and end portions are separated from a substrate. With these operations, a light-emitting layer can form an excellent mirror by a natural cleavage. Further, by separating a portion of the end surfaces from the substrate, it is possible to suppress a deformation from the substrate and therefore, a deterioration due to the deformation can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to provide a nitride based compound semiconductor light-emitting device which can form an excellent cleavage surface with a simple process.
