Provided are a phosphor, a phosphor manufacturing method, and a white light emitting device. The phosphor is represented as a chemical formula of aMO-bAlN-cSi 3 N 4 , which uses light having a peak wavelength in a wavelength band of about 350 nm to about 480 nm as an excitation source to emit visible light having a peak wavelength in a wavelength band of about 480 nm to about 680 nm. (where M is one selected from alkaline earth metals (0.2≦a/(a+b)≦0.9, 0.05≦b(b+c)≦0.85, 0.4≦c/(c+a)≦0.9)). |
