A light-emitting zinc oxide based compound semiconductor device of a double-heterostructure. The double-heterostructure includes a light-emitting layer formed of a low-resistivity Mg1-x-yCdxZnyO; 0<=x<1, 0<y<=1, and x+y=0.1 to 1 compound semiconductor doped with p-type and/or n-type impurity. A first clad layer is joined to one surface of the light-emitting layer and formed of an n-type zinc oxide compound semiconductor having a composition different from the light-emitting layer. A second clad layer is joined to another surface of the light-emitting layer and formed of a low-resistivity, p-type zinc oxide based semiconductor having a composition different from the light-emitting layer.
