The main surface 13a exhibits semipolarity. The active layer 17 has an oxygen content of at least 1×1017 cm−3 but not exceeding 8×1017 cm−3. The plurality of barrier layers 29 contain an n-type impurity other than oxygen by at least 1×1017 cm−3 but not exceeding 1×1019 cm−3 in an upper near-interface area 29u in contact with a lower interface 28Sd of the well layer 28 on the group III nitride semiconductor substrate side.

    摘要: A nitride semiconductor light emitting device is provided. A core semiconductor region, a first cladding region, and a second cladding region are mounted on a nonpolar primary surface of a support substrate of GaN which is not the polar plane. The core semiconductor region includes an active layer and a carrier block layer. The first cladding region includes an n-type AlGaN cladding layer and an n-type InAlGaN cladding layer. The n-type InAlGaN cladding layer is provided between the n-type AlGaN cladding layer and the active layer. A misfit dislocation density at an interface is larger than that at an interface. The AlGaN cladding layer is lattice-relaxed with respect to the GaN support substrate and the InAlGaN cladding layer is lattice-relaxed with respect to the AlGaN cladding layer.

    摘要: A method of making a semiconductor light-emitting device involves the steps of selecting at least one tilt angle for a primary surface of a substrate to evaluate the direction of piezoelectric polarization in a light-emitting layer, the substrate comprising a group III nitride semiconductor; preparing a substrate having the primary surface, the primary surface having the selected tilt angle, and the primary surface comprising the group III nitride semiconductor; forming a quantum well structure and p- and n-type gallium nitride semiconductor layers for the light-emitting layer at the selected tilt angle to prepare a substrate product; measuring photoluminescence of the substrate product while applying a bias to the substrate product, to determine bias dependence of the photoluminescence; evaluating the direction of the piezoelectric polarization in the light-emitting layer at the selected tilt angle on the primary surface of the substrate by the determined bias dependence; determining which of the primary surface or the back surface of the substrate is to be used, based on the evaluation to select a plane orientation of a growth substrate for making the semiconductor light-emitting device; and forming a semiconductor laminate for the semiconductor light-emitting device on the primary surface of the growth substrate. The tilt angle is defined by the primary surface of the substrate and the (0001) plane of the group III nitride semiconductor. Each of the well layer and the barrier layer of the light-emitting layer extends along a reference plane tilting from a plane perpendicular to a reference axis extending along the c-axis of the group III nitride semiconductor.
