Abstract

Semiconductor surface emitting elements having a plurality of wavelengths being manufactured on a signal substrate through MOVPE selective growth. More specifically, provided is a semiconductor light emitting element array which comprises; a semiconductor crystal substrate; an insulating film disposed on a surface of the substrate, the insulating film being divided into two or more regions, each of which having two or more openings exposing the surface of the substrate; semiconductor rods extending from the surface of the substrate upward through the openings, the semiconductor rods each having an n-type semiconductor layer and a p-type semiconductor layer being laminated in its extending direction, thereby providing a p-n junction; a first electrode connected to the semiconductor crystal substrate; and a second electrode connected to upper portions of the semiconductor rods; wherein the heights of the semiconductor rods as measured from the substrate surface vary by each of the two or more regions.
