Abstract
A nitride semiconductor light emitting element includes: n-side and p-side nitride semiconductor layers; and an active layer. The active layer includes a plurality of well layers and a plurality of barrier layers. The plurality of well layers include first well layers, and second well layers positioned closer to the p-side nitride semiconductor layer than the first well layers. At least one of the plurality of barrier layers positioned between the first well layers and at least one of the plurality of barrier layers positioned between the second well layers respectively include a first barrier layer containing an n-type impurity, and a second barrier layer, wherein a concentration of the n-type impurity in the second barrier layer is lower than a concentration of the n-type impurity in the first barrier layer, and wherein the second barrier layer is positioned closer to the p-side nitride semiconductor layer than the first barrier layer.
