A nitride semiconductor device including a light emitting device comprises a n-type region of one or more nitride semiconductor layers having n-type conductivity, a p-type region of one or more nitride semiconductor layers having p-type conductivity and an active layer between the n-type region and the p-type region. In such devices, there is provided with a super lattice layer comprising first layers and second layers which are nitride semiconductors having a different composition respectively. The super lattice structure makes working current and voltage of the device lowered, resulting in realization of more efficient devices.
A nitride semiconductor device comprising an n-side semiconductor region comprising nitride semiconductor layers, a p-side semiconductor region comprising nitride semiconductor layers and an active layer of a nitride semiconductor between said n-side semiconductor region and said p-side semiconductor region, the active layer having a multiple quantum well structure comprising nitride semiconductor layers containing In,
