Abstract
According to one embodiment, in a nitride semiconductor light emitting device, a first clad layer includes an n-type nitride semiconductor. An active layer is formed on the first clad layer, and includes an In-containing nitride semiconductor. A GaN layer is formed on the active layer. A first AlGaN layer is formed on the GaN layer, and has a first Al composition ratio. A p-type second AlGaN layer is formed on the first AlGaN layer, has a second Al composition ratio higher than the first Al composition ratio, and contains a larger amount of Mg than the GaN layer and the first AlGaN layer. A second clad layer is formed on the second AlGaN layer, and includes a p-type nitride semiconductor.
