Abstract
A Group III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device includes a light-emitting layer having a multiple quantum structure including an AlxGa1-xN (0<x<1) layer as a barrier layer. When the light-emitting layer is divided into three blocks including first, second and third blocks in the thickness direction from the n-type-layer-side cladding layer to the p-type-layer-side cladding layer, the number of barrier layers are the same in the first and third blocks, and the Al composition ratio of each light-emitting layer is set to satisfy a relation x+z=2y and z<x where an average Al composition ratio of the barrier layers in the first block is represented as x, an average Al composition ratio of the barrier layers in the second block is represented as y, and an average Al composition ratio of the barrier layers in the third block is represented as z.
