A light-emitting apparatus comprising:

• a package including a first surface having a depressed portion, and a second surface opposite to said first surface;
• a first external terminal and a second external terminal which are provided on said second surface, said first external terminal and said second external terminal being exposed;
• a metal layer formed on said depressed portion;
• a metal via being provided at a position lower than a position of said metal layer, said metal layer and said metal via being part of a continuous metal portion, a thickness of said metal via being larger than that of said metal layer;
• an LED chip electrically connected to said external terminals and provided above a top surface of said metal layer;
• and
• a luminescent material-containing resin covering said LED chip,
• wherein said first external terminal has a first horizontal portion extending along said second surface, and said first horizontal portion overlaps said metal layer in a direction perpendicular to said second surface such that said first horizontal portion is opposite to said metal layer.
