An inorganic coating may be applied to bond optically scattering particles or components. Optically scattering particles bonded via the inorganic coating may form a three dimensional film which can receive a light emission, convert, and emit the light emission with one or more changed properties. The inorganic coating may be deposited using a low-pressure deposition technique such as an atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. Two or more components, such as an LED and a ceramic phosphor layer may be bonded together by depositing an inorganic coating using the ALD technique.

One aspect of the disclosure provides an optical wavelength conversion member including a polycrystalline ceramic sintered body containing, as main components, Al.sub.2O.sub.3 crystal grains and crystal grains represented by formula (Y,A).sub.3B.sub.5O.sub.12:Ce. In the optical wavelength conversion member, a (Y,A).sub.3B.sub.5O.sub.12:Ce crystal grain has a region wherein the A concentration of a peripheral portion of the (Y,A).sub.3B.sub.5O.sub.12:Ce crystal grain is higher than that of an interior portion of the (Y,A).sub.3B.sub.5O.sub.12:Ce crystal grain. Thus, the optical wavelength conversion member exhibits high fluorescence intensity (i.e., high emission intensity) and high heat resistance (i.e., low likelihood of temperature quenching). The optical wavelength conversion member has a structure wherein the element A concentration of a peripheral portion of a (Y,A).sub.3B.sub.5O.sub.12:Ce crystal grain differs from that in an interior portion of the crystal grain. This structure can achieve a ceramic fluorescent body exhibiting superior fluorescent characteristics and superior thermal characteristics with varied colors of emitted light.
