Abstract

A semiconductor device includes an underlying layer, and a light emitting layer which is formed on the underlying layer and in which a barrier layer made of InAlGaN and a quantum well layer made of InGaN are alternately stacked.

Claims (10)

1 . A semiconductor device comprising:

an underlying layer; and

a light emitting layer which is formed on the underlying layer and in which a barrier layer made of InAlGaN and a quantum well layer made of InGaN are alternately stacked.

2 . The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier layer has an In composition lower than that of the quantum well layer.

3 . The semiconductor device according to claim 2 , further comprising an intermediate layer provided between the barrier layer and the quantum well layer adjacent to each other, made of InGaN and having an In composition lower than that of the quantum well layer.

4 . The semiconductor device according to claim 3 , further comprising an overflow preventing layer formed on the light emitting layer and having an Al composition higher than that of the barrier layer.

5 . The semiconductor device according to claim 3 , further comprising a p-In u Al v Ga 1-u-v N (0=<u<1, 0<v<1) layer formed on the light emitting layer.

6 . The semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the underlying layer is made of GaN.

7 . The semiconductor device according to claim 6 , wherein the underlying layer is substantially formed on (0001) surface of a substrate.

8 . The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor device is a light emitting device having a current density of 100 A/cm 2 or more.
