    摘要: A GaN light-emitting device is provided having a low specific contact resistance of an n-type electrode as well as a low threshold voltage or threshold current density. The GaN light-emitting device has an electrode formed on a nitrogen-terminated surface of a GaN substrate. Specifically, the GaN light-emitting device includes the GaN substrate, a plurality of GaN compound semiconductor layers formed on the GaN substrate, and the n-type electrode and a p-type electrode, wherein the semiconductor substrate is of n-type and the n-type electrode is formed on the nitrogen-terminated surface of the semiconductor substrate. The concentration of n-type impurities in the substrate preferably ranges from 1×1017 cm−3 to 1×1021 cm−3. The substrate preferably includes at least a first portion forming the nitrogen-terminated surface and having a first concentration of n-type impurities and a second portion having a second concentration of n-type impurities lower than the first concentration of n-type impurities.
