    摘要: A group III nitride semiconductor element includes an active layer between an n-type layer and a p-type layer and has a mesa structure containing the p-type layer, and includes an n electrode on the n-type layer and a p electrode on the p-type layer. The p electrode is obtained by sequentially laminating a first metal layer, a conductive layer and a second metal layer in this order. The resistivity of the conductive layer is higher than the resistivity of the first metal layer.

    摘要: A semiconductor light-emitting element according to the present invention includes an n-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, a p-type semiconductor layer, and a p-electrode. The n-type semiconductor layer has a composition of AlGaN or AlInGaN. The active layer is formed on the n-type semiconductor layer. The active layer contains an AlGaN semiconductor or an AlInGaN semiconductor. The p-type semiconductor layer is formed on the active layer. The p-type semiconductor layer has a composition of AlN, AlGaN, or AlInGaN. The p-electrode is formed on the p-type semiconductor layer. The p-type semiconductor layer includes a contact layer formed on the p-electrode. The contact layer includes an AlGaN layer or an AlInGaN layer in which a band gap decreases toward an interface with the p-electrode. The contact layer includes a tunneling contact layer in contact with the p-electrode. The tunneling contact layer is connected to the p-electrode by a tunnel junction.

    摘要: A group III nitride semiconductor light-emitting element includes a single crystal substrate and an element layer. The element layer includes an n-type layer, an active layer, and a p-type layer formed on the upper surface of the single crystal substrate in this order, and has a composition represented by the composition formula AlXGaYIn1-X-YN (0≤X≤1.0, 0≤Y≤1.0, 0≤X+Y≤1.0). The thickness of the single crystal substrate is at least 80 μm. The area of the upper surface of the substrate is larger than the area of the bottom surface of the substrate.
