ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a semiconductor light emitting device in which a light emitting layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate in a state of lattice mismatching with this semiconductor substrate, and by which light emission of high efficiency is obtained. A semiconductor material used as a base material of the light emitting layer is doped with impurities serving as radiative recombination centers. The semiconductor substrate is a GaP substrate and the semiconductor material as the base material of the light emitting layer is (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x).sub.1-y In.sub.y P. This (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x).sub.1-y In.sub.y P material is doped with nitrogen, oxygen, selenium, sulfur or tellurium as a first impurity for forming a donor level, and also with magnesium, zinc or cadmium as a second impurity for forming an acceptor level.
