Abstract

A compound semiconductor light-emitting element characterized by high transmittance of an electrically conductive film, low contact resistance and low sheet resistance of electrically conductive film is manufactured. The manufacturing method for a compound semiconductor light-emitting element of the present invention includes the steps of: forming a semiconductor layer formed of a group III nitride semiconductor, including a light-emitting layer on a substrate; forming an electrically conductive film on the side of the semiconductor layer opposite to the side contacting the substrate; conducting first annealing on the electrically conductive film in an atmosphere containing oxygen; conducting second annealing on the electrically conductive film in an atmosphere not containing oxygen; and exposing the electrically conductive film to atmospheric air between the step of conducting first annealing and the step of conducting second annealing.
