摘要:
A nitride crystal is characterized in that, in connection with plane spacing of arbitrary specific parallel crystal lattice planes (1d) of the nitride crystal (1) obtained from X-ray diffraction measurement performed with variation of X-ray penetration depth from a surface of the crystal while X-ray diffraction conditions of the specific parallel crystal lattice planes (1d) are satisfied, a uniform distortion at a surface layer (1a) of the crystal represented by a value of |d 1 - d 2 |/d 2 obtained from the plane spacing d 1 at the X-ray penetration depth of 0.3 µm and the plane spacing d 2 at the X-ray penetration depth of 5 µm is equal to or lower than 2.1 x 10 -3 . The above configuration provides the nitride crystal having a crystal surface layer that is evaluated directly and reliably without breaking the crystal so that it can be used in a preferred fashion as a substrate for a semiconductor device as well as the nitride crystal substrate, an epilayer-containing nitride crystal substrate, a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same.
