Patent ID: 7063997

Claim:
A process of producing a nitride semiconductor light-emitting device, said process comprising the steps of: preparing a substrate; growing a p-type nitride semiconductor layer by the MOCVD (Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) process using hydrazine-based gas as a nitrogen precursor and N 2 gas as a carrier gas; forming an active layer on the p-type nitride semiconductor layer; forming an n-type conductive nitride semiconductor layer on the active layer; and forming p- and n-electrodes in electrical connection with the p- and n-type nitride semiconductor layers, respectively; wherein the hydrazine-based, nitrogen precursor gas used in the step of growing the p-type nitride semiconductor layer is a mixed gas additionally containing NH 3 gas, and the amount of the NH 3 gas is less than 50% of the total amount of the mixed gas.
