ABSTRACT:
A nitride semiconductor device used chiefly as an LD and an LED element. In order to improve the output and to decrease Vf, the device is given either a three-layer structure in which a nitride semiconductor layer doped with n-type impurities serving as an n-type contact layer where an n-electrode is formed is sandwiched between undoped nitride semiconductor layers; or a superlattice structure of nitride. The n-type contact layer has a carrier concentration exceeding 3×1010cm3, and the resistivity can be lowered below 8×10−3Ωcm.
