PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor light emitting element with excellent light emission characteristics, and a method of manufacturing the same.SOLUTION: The semiconductor light emitting element has a buffer layer grown using a growth substrate made of ZnO and formed of an AlGaInN-based material including In, having a growth plane including a nitrogen polar plane; and an active layer formed on the buffer layer and formed of an AlGaInN-based material including In, having a growth plane including a group III polar plane. The method of manufacturing the semiconductor light emitting element includes a buffer layer forming step of growing the buffer layer formed of the AlGaInN-based material including In on the growth substrate made of ZnO, the growth plane including the nitrogen polar plane; and an active layer forming step of growing the active layer formed of the AlGaInN-based material including In on the buffer layer, the growth plane including the group III polar plane. |
