We present the results of Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) fitting analysis for Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) at z∼5 in the GOODS-N and its flanking fields. From the SED fitting for ∼100 objects, we found that the stellar masses range from 108 to 1011M⊙ with a median value of 4×109M⊙. By using the large sample of galaxies at z∼5, we construct the stellar mass function (SMF) with incompleteness corrections. By integrating down to 108M⊙, the cosmic stellar mass density at z∼5 is calculated to be 7×106M⊙Mpc−3.
