A semiconductor light-emitting device includes a reflective electrode on a support; a first cladding layer; a light-emitting layer; a second cladding layer having a terrace structure formed of recesses and protrusions, a light-extracting structure having projections and depressions being formed on top surfaces of the protrusions and bottom surfaces of the recesses; and surface electrodes on the top surfaces of the protrusions. The second cladding layer has a stacked structure, which includes a first current-spreading layer, a first light-extracting layer on the first current-spreading layer and having the light-extracting structure on the bottom surfaces of the recesses, a second current-spreading layer on the first light-extracting layer, and a second light-extracting layer on the second current-spreading layer and having the light-extracting structure on the top surfaces of the protrusions, and the first and second light-extracting layer have lower light absorptance and higher resistance than the first and second current-spreading layer.
