[Problem] To suppress diffusion of a group III material into an Si substrate during the time when a group III nitride semiconductor layer is grown on the Si substrate, with an AlN buffer layer being interposed therebetween. [Solution] A method for manufacturing a group III nitride semiconductor substrate comprises: a step (S12A) for growing a first AlN buffer layer 21 on an Si substrate 10; a step (S12B) for growing a second AlN buffer layer 22 on the first AlN buffer layer 21 at a temperature higher than a growth temperature of the first AlN buffer layer 21; and a step (S13) for growing a group III nitride semiconductor layer 30 on the second AlN buffer layer 22. The growth temperature of the first AlN buffer layer 21 is 400-600°C.

An inspection method is provided for accurate measurement of conductive materials as defects within a silicon oxide film base material embedded in a SOI wafer sample. In the method, the internal state of a sample 2 is inspected by measuring an conductive material within an insulating base material 11 formed upon the sample 2. Ions or electrons are irradiated upon the surface of the inspection region of the base material 11. A surface image is imaged with secondary electrons emitted from the surface 11a and the vicinity of the surface. The inspection region is etched and a surface image is imaged successively with secondary electrons emitted from a surface 11b and from its vicinity, renewed successively at the etched depth. The conductive material within the base material 11 is measured based upon the accumulated surface images.
