Semiconductor light emitting element

Abstract

A semiconductor light emitting element is provided and includes: a substrate, an n-type semiconductor layer, a doped quantum well layer, a control layer for suppressing light attenuation with age and a p-type semiconductor layer from bottom to top. The control layer for suppressing light attenuation with age sequentially includes an undoped quantum well layer having at least one undoped barrier layer, a first control layer for suppressing light attenuation and/or a second control layer for suppressing light attenuation from bottom to top. The present disclosure reduces probability of Si of the doped quantum well layer and Mg of the p-type semiconductor layer diffusing and coming into contact with each other during long-term aging process, thereby suppressing light attenuation with age of the semiconductor light emitting element. A light attenuation of 1000 hours is reduced from 30% or higher (even 50% or higher) to within 10%.
