Abstract
Provided are a deep ultraviolet light emitting element that exhibits both high light output power and an excellent reliability, and a method of manufacturing the same. A deep ultraviolet light emitting elementof this disclosure comprises an n-type semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer, and a p-type semiconductor layers, on a substrate, in this order. The light-emitting layeremits deep ultraviolet light. The p-type semiconductor layerscomprise a p-type first layerA and a p-type contact layerB directly on the p-type first layerA. The p-type contact layerB is made of a non-nitride p-type group III-V or p-type group IV semiconductor material, and functions as a reflective layer to reflect the deep ultraviolet light. The reflectance of light at a wavelength of 280 nm incident on the p-type contact layerB from the p-type first layerA is 10% or higher.
