Patent number: 11916164Abstract: A method for manufacturing a light-emitting element includes providing the light-emitting element that includes a light-emitting layer with an emission wavelength of not more than 306 nm and a p-type layer including AlGaInN including Mg as an acceptor, and removing hydrogen in the p-type layer from the light-emitting element by irradiating the light-emitting element with ultraviolet light at a wavelength of not more than 306 nm from outside and treating the light-emitting element with heat in a state in which a reverse voltage, or a forward voltage lower than a threshold voltage of the light-emitting element, or no voltage is applied to the light-emitting element. The removing of hydrogen in the p-type layer from the light-emitting element is performed in a N2 atmosphere at not less than 650° C. or in a N2+O2 atmosphere at not less than 500° C.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignees: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTD., MEIJO UNIVERSITYInventors: Yoshiki Saito, Shinya Boyama, Shinichi Matsui, Hiroshi Miwa, Kengo Nagata, Tetsuya Takeuchi, Hisanori Ishiguro
