Abstract
A deep ultraviolet light emitting device includes: an electron block layer of a p-type AlGaN-based semiconductor material or a p-type AlN-based semiconductor material provided on a support substrate; an active layer of an AlGaN-based semiconductor material provided on the electron block layer; an n-type clad layer of an n-type AlGaN-based semiconductor material provided on the active layer; an n-type contact layer provided on a partial region of the n-type clad layer and made of an n-type semiconductor material containing gallium nitride (GaN); and an n-side electrode formed on the n-type contact layer. The n-type contact layer has a band gap smaller than that of the n-type clad layer.
