ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor light-emitting device that enables to realize a satisfactory carrier confinement effect to be capable of stable operation at room temperature. This device includes a QW layer and p- and n-barrier layers placed at each side of the QW layer. The QW layer has an energy level E.sub.va at the top of the valence band and an energy level E.sub.ca at the bottom of the conduction band. The p-barrier layer has an energy level E.sub.vpb at the top of the valence band and an energy level E.sub.cpb at the bottom of the conduction band. The n-barrier layer has an energy level E.sub.vnb at the top of the valence band and an energy level E.sub.cnb at the bottom of the conduction band. The energy levels E.sub.va, E.sub.vpb and E.sub.vnb at the top of the valence band satisfy the relationship of E.sub.va >E.sub.vpb >E.sub.vnb. The energy levels E.sub.ca, E.sub.cpb and E.sub.cnb at the bottom of the conduction band satisfy the relationship of E.sub.va <E.sub.vnb <E.sub.vpb. Electrons injected into the QW layer through the n-barrier layer and holes injected into the QW layer through the p-barrier layer are recombined with each other to emit light therefrom.
