摘要:
A nitride semiconductor ultraviolet light-emitting element is provided with: an underlying structure portion including a sapphire (0001) substrate and an AlN layer formed on the substrate; and a light-emitting element structure portion including an n-type cladding layer of an n-type AlGaN based semiconductor layer, an active layer having an AlGaN based semiconductor layer, and a p-type cladding layer of a p-type AlGaN based semiconductor layer, formed on the underlying structure portion. The (0001) surface of the substrate is inclined at an off angle which is equal to or greater than 0.6° and is equal to or smaller than 3.0°, and an AlN molar fraction of the n-type cladding layer is equal to or higher than 50%.
