摘要： A light-emitting semiconductor device provides an active layer which comprises thirteen (13) layers that includes six (6) pairs of quantum barrier layers made of Al0.95In0.05N and quantum well layers made of Al0.70In0.30N, which are laminated together alternately. The semiconductor device may also comprise a quantum well layer having a high composition ratio of indium (In). Forming the quantum barrier layer and the quantum well layer to have a high composition ratio of indium (In) increases the lattice constant of the active layer of the semiconductor device.

摘要： A light-emitting diode or laser diode is provided which uses a Group III nitride compound semiconductor satisfying the formula (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x).sub.y In.sub.1-y N, inclusive of 0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1, and 0.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.1. A double hetero-junction structure is provided which sandwiches an active layer between layers having wider band gaps than the active layer. The diode has a multi-layer structure which has either a reflecting layer to reflect emission light or a reflection inhibiting layer. The emission light of the diode exits the diode in a direction perpendicular to the double hetero-junction structure. Light emitted in a direction opposite to the light outlet is reflected by the reflecting film toward the direction of the light outlet. Further, the reflection inhibiting film, disposed at or near the light outlet, helps the release of exiting light by minimizing or preventing reflection. As a result, light can be efficiently emitted by the light-generating diode.
