According to one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a nitride semiconductor layer is disclosed. The method can include forming a first lower layer on a major surface of a substrate and forming a first upper layer on the first lower layer. The first lower layer has a first lattice spacing along a first axis parallel to the major surface. The first upper layer has a second lattice spacing along the first axis larger than the first lattice spacing. At least a part of the first upper layer has compressive strain. A ratio of a difference between the first and second lattice spacing to the first lattice spacing is not less than 0.005 and not more than 0.019. A growth rate of the first upper layer in a direction parallel to the major surface is larger than that in a direction perpendicular to the major surface.
