Abstract

In a semiconductor light-emitting element, an underlayer is made of AlN layer, and a first cladding layer is made of an n-AlGaN layer. A light-emitting layer is composed of a base layer made of i-GaN and plural island-shaped single crystal portions made of i-AlGaInN isolated in the base layer. Then, at least one rare earth metal element is incorporated into the base layer and/or the island-shaped single crystal portions.
