Abstract
This application provides a method of manufacturing an n-p-n nitride-semiconductor light-emitting device which includes a current confinement region (A) using a buried tunnel junction layer and in which a favorable luminous efficacy can be obtained and to provide the n-p-n nitride-semiconductor light-emitting device. The p-type activation of a p-type GaN crystal layer stacked below a tunnel junction layer is performed in an intermediate phase of a manufacturing process in which the p-type GaN crystal layer is exposed to atmosphere gas with the tunnel junction layer partially removed, before the tunnel junction layer is buried in an n-type GaN crystal layer. In the intermediate phase of the manufacturing process in which the p-type GaN crystal layer is exposed, p-type activation is efficiently performed on the p-type GaN crystal layer, and a p-type GaN crystal layer with low electric resistance can be obtained.
