Abstract

A semiconductor light-emitting apparatus that has high luminous efficiency and a high breakdown voltage as well as reduced breakdown voltage variation among lots. The semiconductor light-emitting apparatus includes a first clad layer and a second clad layer. An average dopant concentration of the second clad layer is lower than that of the first clad layer. The light-emitting apparatus also includes an active layer having an average dopant concentration of 2×10to 4×10cm. The active layer is made of (AlGa)InP (0<x≦1, 0≦y≦1). The light-emitting apparatus also includes a third clad layer, and a second-conducting-type semiconductor layer made of GaInP (0≦x<1). If d is the layer thickness of the second clad layer (nm) and Nis the average dopant concentration of the second clad layer (cm), then d≧1.2×N×10+150 is satisfied.
