Light-emitting device

Abstract

A light-emitting device includes an active structure, wherein the active structure includes a well layer and a barrier layer. A first semiconductor layer of first conductivity type and a second semiconductor layer of second conductivity type sandwich the active structure. A first intermediate layer is between the first semiconductor layer and the active structure, wherein the first semiconductor layer has a first band gap, the second semiconductor layer has a second band gap, the well layer has a third band gap, and the first intermediate layer has a fourth band gap, wherein the first band gap and the second band gap are both larger than the fourth band gap, and the fourth band gap is larger than the third band gap. A first window layer is on the first semiconductor layer, wherein the first intermediate layer includes Alz1Ga1−z1As, the first window layer includes Alz2Ga1−z2As, and z1>z2.
