The light emitting device comprises a substrate 10 of a p-type semiconductor; an active layer 20 formed of a plurality of quantum dot layers 18 stacked, the quantum dot layers 18 having three-dimensional grown islands self-formed by S-K mode, respectively; and an n-type semiconductor layer 22 formed over the active layer. Because of the p-type semiconductor, over which the active layer 20 is formed on, and the n-type semiconductor, which is formed over the active layer 20, lower layer regions of the active layer 20, where good quantum dots 19 are formed are nearer to regions of the active layer 20, which are nearer to the p-type semiconductor. Accordingly, the radiation recombination between the holes and electrons takes place mainly in the regions where those of the quantum dots, which are of good quality. Thus, even when a number of the quantum dot layers 18 are stacked, good device characteristics can be obtained.
