Abstract
A semiconductor light emitting element includes: a pit formation layer formed on the first semiconductor layer and having a pyramidal pit; and an active layer formed on the pit formation layer and having a flat portion and an embedded portion which is formed so as to embed the pit. The active layer has a multi-quantum well structure having a well layer and a barrier layer laminated alternately in which each well layer and each barrier layer lie one upon another. The flat portion has a flat well portion corresponding to the well layer. The embedded portion has an embedded well portion corresponding to the well layer. The embedded well portion has a ring portion which is formed in an interface with the flat well portion so as to surround the threading dislocation. The ring portion has a band gap smaller than that of the flat well portion.
