Abstract

A nitride semiconductor light emitting device includes a first coat film of aluminum nitride or aluminum oxynitride formed at a light emitting portion and a second coat film of aluminum oxide formed on the first coat film. The thickness of the second coat film is at least 80 nm and at most 1000 nm. Here, the thickness of the first coat film is preferably at least 6 nm and at most 200 nm.

Claims (7)

1. A nitride semiconductor light emitting device including a first coat film of aluminum oxynitride formed at a light emitting portion and a second coat film of aluminum oxide formed on said first coat film, said second coat film having a thickness of at least 80 nm and at most 1000 nm, and wherein said first coat film has an oxygen content of at most 20 atomic %.

2. The nitride semiconductor light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of said first coat film is at least 6 nm and at most 200 nm.

3. The nitride semiconductor light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of said first coat film is at least 12 nm and at most 200 nm.

4. The nitride semiconductor light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of said first coat film is at least 50 nm and at most 200 nm.

5. The nitride semiconductor light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of said second coat film is at least 130 nm and at most 1000 nm.

6. The nitride semiconductor light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of said second coat film is at least 150 nm and at most 1000 nm.

7. The nitride semiconductor light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of said second coat film is at least 160 nm and at most 1000 nm.
