Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical member includes providing a silicon substrate having a first main surface of a {110} plane and a second main surface of a {110} plane that are parallel to each other, forming mask patterns on the first main surface and the second main surface, each of the mask patterns having an opening extending in one direction, so that the opening on a first main surface side and the opening on a second main surface side are disposed alternately, or so that the opening on the second main surface side are disposed directly under the opening on the first main surface side, forming recesses having sloped surfaces in the first main surface side and the second main surface side by wet etching the silicon substrate using the mask patterns as masks, and forming a reflective film on the first main surface or the second main surface.

Abstract: A light emitting device having excellent thermal resistance and light resistance is provided. The light emitting device is manufactured by disposing a substrate electrode having a predetermined conductive pattern provided thereon to a substrate of a ceramic; flip-chip mounting a light emitting element having an n-side electrode and a p-side electrode on a common surface side onto the substrate electrode in a face-down manner and electrically connecting thereto; heating a glass to a temperature from the glass transition temperature to below the melting point of the glass, until the glass shows its softened state; and fixing the softened glass to the substrate by way of pressing to cover the light emitting element with the glass.
