Abstract: A light emitting element includes: an n-side semiconductor layer; a p-side semiconductor layer; an active layer comprising a plurality of well layers and a plurality of barrier layers, and being located between the n-side semiconductor layer and the p-side semiconductor layer. The plurality of barrier layers comprises a final barrier layer, which is a layer of the active layer that is closest to the p-side semiconductor layer. The p-side semiconductor layer comprises, from an active layer-side, a first p-side semiconductor layer, which is a layer of the p-side semiconductor layer that is closest to the active layer, and a second p-side semiconductor layer containing a p-type dopant and having a bandgap greater than a bandgap of the final barrier layer. The first p-side semiconductor layer has a bandgap smaller than the bandgap of the final barrier layer and greater than a bandgap of any of the well layers, and has a thickness smaller than a thickness of the final barrier layer.

Abstract: A light-emitting element includes: a sapphire substrate having a c-plane at a main surface thereof; and a semiconductor layer provided at the main surface side of the sapphire substrate. The sapphire substrate includes a first unit including a first region, a second region, and a third region, wherein, when viewed from the main surface side, the three regions together have a shape of a regular hexagon that is evenly divided into the three regions such that each region has a shape of a rhombus; and a plurality of second units disposed to be aligned with each side of the first unit, the second unit having mirror symmetry relative to the first unit. The first unit and the second units are arranged to make a space at the center of the unit.
