    摘要: The nitride semiconductor layer structure comprises a buffer layer and a composite layer on the buffer layer. The buffer layer is a layer of a low-temperature-deposited nitride semiconductor material that includes AlN. The composite layer is a layer of a single-crystal nitride semiconductor material that includes AlN. The composite layer includes a first sub-layer adjacent the buffer layer and a second sub-layer over the first sub-layer. The single-crystal nitride semiconductor material of the composite layer has a first AlN molar fraction in the first sub-layer and has a second AlN molar fraction in the second sub-layer. The second AlN molar fraction is greater than the first AlN molar fraction. The nitride semiconductor laser comprises a portion of the above-described nitride semiconductor layer structure, and additionally comprises an optical waveguide layer over the composite layer and an active layer over the optical waveguide layer.

    摘要: A substrate for fabricating semiconductor devices based on Group III semiconductors and the method for making the same. A substrate according to the present invention includes a base substrate, a first buffer layer, and a first single crystal layer. The first buffer layer includes a Group III material deposited on the base substrate at a temperature below that at which the Group III material crystallizes. The Group III material is crystallized by heating the buffer layer to a temperature above that at which the Group III material crystallizes to form a single crystal after the Group III material has been deposited. The first single crystal layer includes a Group III-V semiconducting material deposited on the first buffer layer at a temperature above that at which the Group III semiconducting material crystallizes. In one embodiment of the present invention, a second buffer layer and a second single crystal layer are deposited on the first single crystal layer. The second buffer layer includes a Group III material deposited on the first single crystal layer at a temperature below that at which the Group III material crystallizes. The Group III material is then crystallized by heating the buffer layer to a temperature above that at which the Group III material crystallizes to form a single crystal. The second single crystal layer includes a Group III-V semiconducting material deposited on the second buffer layer at a temperature above that at which the Group III semiconducting material crystallizes.
