A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888090B2) discloses a semiconductor light-emitting element with a unique layered structure. The element includes a light-emitting layer composed of first and second III-V compound semiconductor layers with different composition ratios stacked repeatedly. These layers contain multiple types of group III and group V elements, with a composition wavelength difference of 50 nm or less and a specific ratio of lattice constant difference. The patent also covers variations in the number of elements in the layers and the inclusion of a third III-V compound semiconductor layer with similar characteristics.

Furthermore, the patent includes a method for producing the semiconductor light-emitting element, involving the formation of the first and second III-V compound semiconductor layers and the repeated formation of the light-emitting layer. The disclosed method ensures the precise composition and structure required for optimal performance of the semiconductor light-emitting element. Overall, the patent highlights the importance of specific composition ratios, wavelength differences, and lattice constant variances in achieving efficient semiconductor light emission, offering valuable insights for further advancements in the field.
