Provided are a mask for an application of paste and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor light emitting device by using the same. The method includes preparing a light emitting structure including first and second conductive semiconductor layers and an active layer disposed therebetween, which has at least one electrode formed on a surface of the light emitting structure; disposing a mask having an open part exposing a portion of the surface of the light emitting structure therethrough and a recess part corresponding the electrode in a region thereof on a surface of the light emitting structure; and applying wavelength conversion material-containing paste to the surface of the light emitting structure through the open part.
