摘要:
A sapphire substrate, a buffer layer of undoped GaN and a compound semiconductor crystal layer successively formed on the sapphire substrate together form a substrate of a light emitting diode. A first cladding layer of n-type GaN, an active layer of undoped In0.2Ga0.8N and a second cladding layer successively formed on the compound semiconductor crystal layer together form a device structure of the light emitting diode. On the second cladding layer, a p-type electrode is formed, and on the first cladding layer, an n-type electrode is formed. In a part of the sapphire substrate opposing the p-type electrode, a recess having a trapezoidal section is formed, so that the thickness of an upper portion of the sapphire substrate above the recess can be substantially equal to or smaller than the thickness of the compound semiconductor crystal layer.

摘要:
A first semiconductor film made of a nitride semiconductor is grown through epitaxial growth on a light transmitting substrate. A thermal decomposition layer is disposed in a space between the substrate and the first semiconductor film by irradiating laser light to the first semiconductor film from the back surface of the substrate. After a second semiconductor film made of a nitride semiconductor is grown through epitaxial growth while the first semiconductor film is placed on the substrate, the temperature of the substrate is lowered to room temperature. Then, by separating and removing the substrate from the first and second semiconductor films, it is possible to obtain a nitride semiconductor substrate having an area substantially as large as the area of the substrate.
摘要:
A first semiconductor layer is epitaxially grown on a semiconductor substrate and patterned to form concave and convex portions. A second semiconductor layer is formed on the first semiconductor layer using a top epitaxial mask covering the top surface of the convex portion. Lattice defects D propagating from the first semiconductor layer exist only in a region located above the center of the concave portion (a defect region Ra), while in the other region (a low defect region Rb) lattice defects D propagating from the first semiconductor layer hardly exist.

A mask film of a material on which substantially no nitride semiconductor grows and having a plurality of openings in a stripe shape is formed on a main surface of a base substrate. Then, on the base substrate, a semiconductor layer of nitride is selectively grown through the mask film. Then, a laser beam is irradiated upon the interface between the semiconductor layer and the base substrate to separate the semiconductor layer from the base substrate, so that a nitride semiconductor substrate is formed from the semiconductor layer.
