LIGHT EMITTING ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a light emitting element, which emits light with small power consumption and high luminance. The light emitting element has: a IV semiconductor substrate; two or more core multi-shell nanowires disposed on the IV semiconductor substrate; a first electrode connected to the IV semiconductor substrate; and a second electrode, which covers the side surfaces of the core multi-shell nanowires, and which is connected to the side surfaces of the core multi-shell nanowires. Each of the core multi-shell nanowires has: a center nanowire composed of a first conductivity type III-V compound semiconductor; a first barrier layer composed of the first conductivity type III-V compound semiconductor; a quantum well layer composed of a III-V compound semiconductor; a second barrier layer composed of a second conductivity type III-V compound semiconductor; and a capping layer composed of a second conductivity type III-V compound semiconductor.
