A semiconductor light-emitting device capable of keeping high luminance intensity even if electric power increases, and suitable for lighting instruments such as lights and lamps. The semiconductor device includes a metal electrode layer provided with openings, and is so large in size that the electrode layer has, for example, an area of 1 mm2 or more. The openings have a mean diameter of 10 nm to 2 μm, and penetrate through the metal electrode layer. The metal electrode layer can be produced by use of self-assembling of block copolymer or by nano-imprinting techniques.
