The inventive gallium nitride compound semiconductor light-emitting device comprises a substrate; an n-type semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer, a p-type semiconductor layer, the layers being successively provided atop the substrate and being formed of a gallium nitride compound semiconductor; a negative electrode provided on the n-type semiconductor layer at a certain portion thereof, the portion being exposed by partial, depthwise removal of the light-emitting layer and the p-type semiconductor layer altogether through reactive ion etching; and a positive electrode provided on the remaining p-type semiconductor layer, wherein the gallium nitride compound semiconductor light-emitting device is produced through reactive ion etching by use of silicon tetrachloride as the sole etching gas.
