ABSTRACT:
A method of forming an epitaxial wafer for a light-emitting device by sequentially growing a lower cladding layer of Al.sub..alpha. Ga.sub..beta. N (0.ltoreq..alpha., .beta..ltoreq.1, .alpha.+.beta.=1), an AlGaInN active layer, and an upper cladding layer of Al.sub..alpha. Ga.sub..beta. N (0.ltoreq..alpha., .beta..ltoreq.1, .alpha.+.beta.=1) on a single-crystal substrate, wherein the AlGaInN active layer is formed by epitaxially growing an active layer of Al.sub.a Ga.sub.b In.sub.c N (wherein 0.ltoreq.a, b, c.ltoreq.1, a+b+c=1) on the lower cladding layer at a temperature of from 650.degree. C. to 950.degree. C., elevating the temperature of the active layer at a rate of not less than 30.degree. C./min until reaching a temperature range of from more than 950.degree. C. to not more than 1200.degree. C., and when the prescribed temperature is reached, primarily cooling the resultant layer to 950.degree. C. within 60 minutes at not less than 20.degree. C./min, and secondarily cooling the resultant layer from 950.degree. C. to 650.degree. C. at less than 20.degree. C./min.
