An optoelectronic semiconductor device comprises a barrier layer, a first semiconductor layer on the barrier layer, the first semiconductor layer comprising a first dopant and a second dopant, and a second semiconductor layer beneath the barrier layer, the second semiconductor comprising the second dopant, wherein, in the first semiconductor layer, a concentration of the first dopant is larger than a concentration of the second dopant, and the concentration of the second dopant in the second semiconductor layer is larger than that in the first semiconductor layer.
