An illumination apparatus includes a plurality of semiconductor light-emitting devices, a reflective layer, a plurality of conductor parts and a translucent adhesive layer. Each of the semiconductor light-emitting devices has a translucent substrate, and a semiconductor light-emitting layer formed on the substrate. The reflective layer has a size on which semiconductor light-emitting devices are arranged at intervals. The conductor parts are provided on the reflective layer, and electrically connected to the semiconductor light-emitting devices. The adhesive layer bonds the substrates of the semiconductor light-emitting devices onto the reflective layer, and thereby holds the semiconductor light-emitting devices on the reflective layer.
