Abstract
The present invention provides a Group III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device having a flat semiconductor layer, in which the stress applied to the light-emitting layer is relaxed. The light-emitting layer of the light-emitting device includes a well layer and a barrier layer comprising an AlGaN layer containing In. The light-emitting device has a pit extending from an n-type semiconductor layer to layers above the light-emitting layer. A pit diameter at an interface between the light-emitting layer and the n-type semiconductor layer is 120 nm to 200 nm. The barrier layer has an In concentration of 6.0×10cm.
