SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT EMITTING ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A light-emitting element (10) is provided with a thin-film crystal layer which includes a buffer layer (22), a first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, an active structure (25) and a second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer. In the thin-film crystal layer, at least a part of the second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer is covered with an insulating film. The insulating film has a crystal quality improving layer (30) for recovering crystallinity of the thin-film crystal layer.
