ABSTRACT:
To provide a method of controlling a conductivity of a Ga2O3system single crystal with which a conductive property of a β-Ga2O3system single crystal can be efficiently controlled.The light emitting element includes an n-type β-Ga2O3substrate, and an n-type β-AlGaO3cladding layer, an active layer, a p-type β-AlGaO3cladding layer and a p-type β-Ga2O3contact layer which are formed in order on the n-type β-Ga2O3substrate. A resistivity is controlled to fall within the range of 2.0×10−3to 8×102Ωcm and a carrier concentration is controlled to fall within the range of 5.5×1015to 2.0×1019/cm3by changing a Si concentration within the range of 1×10−5to 1 mol %.
