Abstract
A semiconductor light-emitting device of this invention includes at least a first cladding layer formed on a substrate, a light-emitting structure including an active layer made of In1−X−YGaXAlYN (0≦X, Y≦1, 0≦X+Y<1) and formed on the first cladding layer, and a second cladding layer formed on the light-emitting structure. The active layer is made of a material with a small Auger effect and a small dependency of its band gap energy on environment temperature.
