Abstract
A group III nitride semiconductor light-emitting element comprises, in the following order: an n-type group III nitride semiconductor layer; a group III nitride semiconductor laminated body obtained by alternately laminating a barrier layer and a well layer narrower in bandgap than the barrier layer in the stated order so that the number of barrier layers and the number of well layers are both N, where N is an integer; an AlN guide layer; and a p-type group III nitride semiconductor layer. The AlN guide layer has a thickness of 0.7 nm or more and 1.7 nm or less. A final barrier layer wider in bandgap than the well layer and narrower in bandgap than the AlN guide layer is provided between an Nth well layer in the group III nitride semiconductor laminated body and the AlN guide layer.
