Abstract

The present invention provides a gallium nitride based compound semiconductor light-emitting device having high light emission efficiency and a low driving voltage Vf. The gallium nitride based compound semiconductor light-emitting device includes a p-type semiconductor layer, and a transparent conductive oxide film that includes dopants and is formed on the p-type semiconductor layer. A dopant concentration at an interface between the p-type semiconductor layer and the transparent conductive oxide film is higher than the bulk dopant concentration of the transparent conductive oxide film. Therefore, the contact resistance between the p-type semiconductor layer and the transparent conductive oxide film is reduced.
