Abstract

A method of manufacturing a gallium phosphide light-emitting device which characteristically comprises the step of growing a gallium phosphide layer of one conductivity type on a gallium phosphide substrate of the opposite conductivity type at a growth initiating temperature of 650.degree. to 850.degree.C by the liquid phase epitaxy process to provide a p-n junction contributing to emission of light.
