Affords a III-V compound semiconductor substrate manufacturing method that enables enhancement of the substrate PL intensity. In such a III-V compound semiconductor substrate manufacturing method, first, the surface 3a of a wafer 3 is polished (polishing step). Second, the surface 3a of the wafer 3 is cleaned (first cleaning step S 7). Next, the surface 3a of the wafer 3 is subjected to first dry-etching, employing a halogen-containing gas, while first bias voltage is applied to a chuck 24 for carrying the wafer 3. Subsequently, the surface 3a of the wafer 3 is subjected to second dry-etching, employing the halogen-containing gas (second dry-etching step Sll), while second bias power lower than the first bias power is applied to the chuck 24.

摘要:
There is provided a method of producing a thin GaN film-joined substrate (1), including the steps of: joining on a GaN bulk crystalline body (10) a substrate (20) different in type or chemical composition from GaN; and dividing the GaN bulk crystalline body (10) at a plane (10t) having a distance of at least 0.1 µm and at most 100 µm from an interface thereof with the substrate (20) different in type, to provide a thin film of GaN (10a) on the substrate (20) different in type, wherein the GaN bulk crystalline body (10) had a surface joined to the substrate (20) different in type, that has a maximum surface roughness Rmax of at most 20 µm. Thus a GaN-based semiconductor device including a thin GaN film-joined substrate including a substrate different in type and a thin film of GaN joined firmly on the substrate different in type, and at least one GaN-based semiconductor layer deposited on the thin film of GaN, can be fabricated at low cost.
