Method of producing nitride fluorescent material, nitride fluorescent material, and light emitting device using the same

Abstract

A method of producing a nitride fluorescent material is provided. The nitride fluorescent material undergoes less change in chromaticity under a high-temperature and high-humidity condition and are excellent in durability. The nitride fluorescent material has a composition containing: at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ca, Sr, Ba, and Mg; at least one element selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, and K; at least one element selected from the group consisting of Eu, Ce, Tb, and Mn; Al; and N. The method includes: preparing a calcined product having the composition, bringing the calcined product in contact with a fluorine-containing substance, and heat-treating the calcined product at a temperature of 200° C. or more and 500° C. or less. A light emitting device using the nitride fluorescent material is also provided.
