Group III-nitride light emitting device

摘要

The present invention provides a group III-nitride light emitting device improved in operating voltage and electrostatic discharge characteristics. The group III-nitride light emitting device comprises a lower n-type clad layer, a current spreading layer, an upper n-type clad layer, an active layer and an p-type clad layer formed in their order on a substrate. The current spreading layer includes a SiC layer.
