Semiconductor light-emitting device

Abstract

There is provided a semiconductor light emitting device having improved light emitting efficiency by increasing an inflow of holes into an active layer while preventing an overflow of electrons. The semiconductor light emitting device includes an n-type semiconductor layer; an active layer formed on the n-type semiconductor layer and including at least one quantum well layer and at least one quantum barrier layer alternately stacked therein; an electron blocking layer formed on the active layer and having at least one multilayer structure including three layers having different energy band gaps stacked therein, a layer adjacent to the active layer among the three layers having an inclined energy band structure; and a p-type semiconductor layer formed on the electron blocking layer.
