Claim:
1. A method of manufacturing a nitride-semiconductor light-emitting device, the method comprising: stacking a buried tunnel junction layer above a first p-type nitrided compound layer that is stacked above an active layer, the buried tunnel junction layer is formed as a second p-type nitrided compound layer and a first n-type compound layer stacked in this order; removing the buried tunnel junction layer while a region through which the current flows to the active layer is being left; wherein the removing of the buried tunnel junction layer forms a first region of the first p-type nitrided compound layer with an exposed surface and a second region of the first p-type nitrided compound layer directly under the buried tunnel junction layer which is left; performing p-type activation on the second region of the first p-type nitrided compound layer using the exposed surface of the first p-type nitrided compound layer in the first region; and stacking a second n-type nitrided compound layer above the buried tunnel junction layer and the first p-type nitrided compound layer to bury the buried tunnel junction layer.
