摘要:
There are provided a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor laser using the semiconductor substrate which promises smooth and optically excellent cleaved surfaces and is suitable for fabricating semiconductor lasers using nitride III-V compound semiconductors. Using a semiconductor substrate, such as GaN substrate, having a major surface substantially normal to a {0001}-oriented face, e.g. {01-10}-oriented face or {11-20}-oriented face, or offset within ±5° from these faces, nitride III-V compound semiconductor layers are epitaxially grown on the substrate to form a laser structure. To make cavity edges, the GaN substrate is cleaved together with the overlying III-V compound semiconductor layers along high-cleavable {0001}-oriented faces.

After making a GaN FET by growing GaN semiconductor layers on the surface of a sapphire substrate, the bottom surface of the sapphire substrate is processed by lapping, using an abrasive liquid containing a diamond granular abrasive material and reducing the grain size of the abrasive material in some steps, to reduce the thickness of the sapphire substrate to 100 &mgr;m or less. Thereafter, the bottom surface of the sapphire substrate is processed by etching using an etchant of phosphoric acid or phosphoric acid/sulfuric acid mixed liquid to remove a strained layer by lapping followed by making a via hole by etching the bottom surface of the sapphire substrate by using a similar etchant.

摘要:
A semiconductor device such as a semiconductor layer is formed of a compound semiconductor layer of III-V group such as GaN. In the case where the substrate has not any planes that are easy to cleave which coincides with an easy-to-cleave plane of a semiconductor layer grown on the substrate or the substrate easily succumbs to cleavage, then the semiconductor layer together with the substrate can be broken into chips in an easy-to-cleave plane. The cleaved surface of the semiconductor layer can be positively formed as an optically superior surface. A compound semiconductor layer 2 containing at least one of the elements {Ga, Al, In} and N is formed on the substrate 1. This compound semiconductor layer 2 has a pair of facets of {11-20} plane substantially perpendicular to the substrate 1.
