Abstract

A light-emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same are described, by forming a SiN/Al1-x-yInxGayN(0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, x+y≦1) superlattice layer between a substrate and an undoped GaN as a buffer layer, so as to reduce dislocation density of the buffer layer. In the SiN/Al1-x-yInxGayN(0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, x+y≦1) superlattice layer, Al1-x-yInxGayN(0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, x+y≦1) can be n-type, p-type or undoped.
