An n-cap layer is formed on a top surface of p-type clad layers, the p-type clad layer is a top layer of a stacked structure having a pn-junction for emitting carriers into light-emitting region of a GaN based light-emitting device, thus increasing the activation ratio of acceptor impurities in the p-type clad layers. The n-cap layer is used also as a current blocking layer, thereby constructing a current-blocked structure. The n-cap layer should preferably be made of InuAlvGa1-u-vN (0<u, v<1) deposited as thick as 1.0 micron or more. The present invention will easily provide a high luminous efficiency GaN based semiconductor light-emitting device without using any complicated processes such as electron-beam irradiation or thermal annealing.
