Abstract
Provided is a semiconductor light-emitting device including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of transfer diodes connecting the nodes, and gates of a shift thyristor and a light-emitting thyristor are connected to each of the nodes. Each of the transfer diodes includes a stacked structure including a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type provided over a semiconductor substrate, a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type, which is different from the first conductivity type, provided over the first semiconductor layer, a third semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type provided over the second semiconductor layer, a fourth semiconductor layer of the second conductivity type provided over the third semiconductor layer, and a fifth semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type provided over the fourth semiconductor layer, and a diode is formed by a p-n junction between the fourth and fifth semiconductor layers.
