Abstract

See full text

An evaluating method capable of quickly measuring the essential lifetime in an epitaxial wafer for a light emitting device independently from the excited carrier density without breaking the epitaxial wafer is configured to obtain the non-radiative lifetime from the changing rate of intensity of luminescence light generated by irradiating exited light onto the epitaxial wafer at the time when the changes with time becomes below a given value, and to obtain the non-radiative lifetime independent from the excited carrier density. An epitaxial wafer for a light emitting device with a higher emission efficiency than conventional ones has a non-radiative lifetime not shorter than 20 nanoseconds obtained by the evaluating method, and the diffusion amount of zinc into its active layer does not exceed 1E13 atoms per cm.sup.2.
