A semiconductor light emitting device includes an active layer; a first nitride semiconductor layer on the active layer; a first delta-doped layer on the first nitride semiconductor layer; a second nitride semiconductor layer on the first delta-doped layer; a second delta-doped layer on the second nitride semiconductor layer; a third nitride semiconductor layer on the second delta-doped layer. The first delta-doped layer, the second nitride semiconductor layer, the second delta-doped layer, and the third nitride semiconductor layer are doped with an n-type dopant.
