    摘要: A nitride semiconductor light-emitting element includes an active layer that emits ultraviolet light, a p-type AlGaN-based electron blocking stack body that is located on the active layer and has a structure formed by sequentially stacking a first electron blocking layer, a second electron blocking layer and a third electron blocking layer from the active layer side, and a p-type contact layer located on the electron blocking stack body. An Al composition ratio in the second electron blocking layer is lower than an Al composition ratio in the first electron blocking layer, and an Al composition ratio in the third electron blocking layer decreases from the second electron blocking layer side toward the p-type contact layer side.
