Patent ID: 7790481

Claim:
A method for producing a pn-junction compound semiconductor light-emitting device comprising the steps of: forming a stacked structure through sequentially stacking on a crystal substrate a lower cladding layer, a light-emitting layer composed of n-type or p-type aluminum gallium indium phosphide, an upper cladding layer, and an n-type or a p-type conductor layer composed of an undoped boron-containing Group III-V compound semiconductor, and a step of joining the conductor layer to a light-permeable substrate; wherein the crystal substrate is removed after joining of the conductor layer to the light-permeable substrate, and wherein the conductor layer is formed though crystal growth at a growth rate of 20 nm/min to 30 nm/min and contains twins, having, as a twining plate, a (111) lattice plane of the boron containing Group III-V compound semiconductor.
