Abstract

A multi-quantum barrier layer includes alternatingly laminated barrier layers of a III-V compound semiconductor material and well layers of a III-V compound semiconductor material including the same Group V element as in the barrier layers. During the formation of the multi-quantum barrier layer it is not necessary to switch the Group V element source gas at the interface between a barrier layer and a well layer so that this interface is abrupt, improving the electron reflection efficiency of the multi-quantum barrier layer.
