Abstract
A light-emitting element includes: a first n-type nitride semiconductor layer; a first light-emitting layer located on the first n-type nitride semiconductor layer; a p-type GaN layer located on the first light-emitting layer; an n-type GaN layer located on the p-type GaN layer and doped with an n-type impurity at an impurity concentration higher than that of the first n-type nitride semiconductor layer; a non-doped GaN layer located between the p-type GaN layer and the n-type GaN layer, a thickness of the non-doped GaN layer being not more than a width of a depletion layer formed by the n-type and p-type GaN layers; a second n-type nitride semiconductor layer located on the n-type GaN layer and doped with an n-type impurity; a second light-emitting layer located on the second n-type nitride semiconductor layer; and a p-type nitride semiconductor layer located on the second light-emitting layer and doped with a p-type impurity.
