ABSTRACT:
A light-emitting semiconductor device using a gallium nitride compound semiconductor (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x N) having an i.sub.L -layer of insulating gallium nitride compound semiconductor (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x N, inclusive of x=0) containing a low concentration of p-type impurities. An i.sub.H -layer of insulating gallium nitride compound semiconductor (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x N, inclusive of x=0) containing a high concentration of p-type impurities is adjacent to the i.sub.L -layer. An n-layer of n-type gallium nitride compound semiconductor (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x N, inclusive of x=0) of low carrier concentration is adjacent to the i.sub.L -layer. An n.sup.+ -layer of n-type gallium nitride compound semiconductor (Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x N, inclusive of x=0) of high carrier concentration doped with n-type impurities is adjacent to the n-layer.
