In a semiconductor light emitting element using InGaAlP semiconductors, reduced in operative voltage and increased in optical output, a contact layer doped with a predetermined amount of carbon is provided to reduce the contact resistance at the contact with an ITO electrode because carbon does not readily diffuse like zinc and does not deteriorate the element characteristics. An intermediate band gap layer having an intermediate band gap between those of a contact layer and a cladding layer may be interposed between these layers to alleviate band discontinuity between their valence bands, thereby promote inflow of holes and decrease the element resistance.
