| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a Group III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device which exhibits improved light emission efficiency. The light-emitting layer has a MQW structure in which a plurality of layer units are repeatedly deposited, each layer unit comprising a well layer, a capping layer, and a barrier layer sequentially deposited. The well layer is formed of InGaN, the capping layer has a structure in which a GaN layer and an AlGaN layer are deposited in this order on the well layer, and the barrier layer is formed of AlGaN. The AlGaN layer has a higher Al composition ratio than that of the barrier layer. The AlGaN layer in the former portion has a lower Al composition ratio than that of the AlGaN layer in the latter portion when the light-emitting layer is divided into a former portion at the n-cladding layer side and a latter portion at the p-cladding layer side in a thickness direction. |
