Abstract

A nitride semiconductor light-emitting device includes an n-type nitride semiconductor layer, a V pit generation layer, an intermediate layer, a multiple quantum well light-emitting layer, and a p-type nitride semiconductor layer provided in this order. The multiple quantum well light-emitting layer is a layer formed by alternately stacking a barrier layer and a well layer having a bandgap energy smaller than that of the barrier layer. A V pit is partly formed in the multiple quantum well light-emitting layer, and an average position of starting point of the V pit is located in the intermediate layer.
