Patent ID: 10790409

Abstract:
A nitride semiconductor light-emitting element includes at least an n-type nitride semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer, and a p-type nitride semiconductor layer. A multilayer body is provided between the n-type nitride semiconductor layer and the light-emitting layer, having at least one stack of first and second semiconductor layers. The second semiconductor layer has a greater band-gap energy than the first semiconductor layer. The first and second semiconductor layers each have a thickness of more than 10 nm and 30 nm or less. In applications in which luminous efficiency at room temperature is a high priority, the first semiconductor layer has a thickness of more than 10 nm and 30 nm or less, the second semiconductor layer has a thickness of more than 10 nm and 40 nm or less, and the light-emitting layer has V-shaped recesses in cross-sectional view.
