A semiconductor light-emitting material includes a semiconductor substance including a matrix semiconductor whose constituent atoms are bonded to form a tetrahedral structure, an impurity atom S substituted for an atom in a lattice site of the matrix semiconductor, and an impurity atom I inserted in a interstitial site of the matrix semiconductor, the impurity atom S and the impurity atom I being bonded through charge transfer therebetween in a state that the impurity atom S has an electric charge coincident with that of the constituent atom of the matrix semiconductor and the impurity atom I has an electron configuration of a closed shell structure, in which the semiconductor substance is stretched in a direction of a bond forming the tetrahedral structure.
