Abstract
A light-emitting element includes, successively from a lower side to an upper side, a first n-side semiconductor layer, a first active layer, a first p-side semiconductor layer, a second n-side semiconductor layer, a second active layer, and a second p-side semiconductor layer, each made of a nitride semiconductor. The second n-side semiconductor layer contacts the first p-side semiconductor layer. The second n-side semiconductor layer includes, successively from a lower side to an upper side, a first layer including gallium, a second layer including aluminum and gallium, and a third layer including gallium and having a lower n-type impurity concentration than the first and second layers. A thickness of the first layer and a thickness of the second layer each is less than 50% of a thickness of the third layer.
