Method for manufacturing a semiconductor light-emitting element and semiconductor light-emitting element manufactured thereby

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor light-emitting element, and to a semiconductor light-emitting element manufactured thereby. One aspect of the method for manufacturing the semiconductor light-emitting element comprises the steps of: forming a light-emitting structure by growing a first conductive semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductive semiconductor layer in sequence on a first main surface of a substrate on which the first main surface and a second main surface are arranged opposite each other; forming a reflective film having at least one laser absorption region on the second main surface; and radiating a laser towards the light-emitting structure and the substrate from a position corresponding to the laser absorption region on an upper portion of the light-emitting structure, and scribing the light-emitting structure and substrate into element units.
