A high-quality GaAs-type crystal thin film using an inexpensive Si wafer with good thermal release characteristics is achieved. Provided is a semiconductor wafer comprising an Si wafer; a Ge layer that is crystal-grown on the wafer and shaped as an isolated island; a buffer layer that is crystal-grown on the Ge layer and is a group 3-5 compound semiconductor layer containing P; and a functional layer that is crystal-grown on the buffer layer. The Ge layer may be shaped as an island having a size that does not exceed double a distance moved by crystal defects as a result of annealing the Ge layer at a certain temperature for a certain time. The Ge layer may be shaped as an island having a size for which stress due to a difference relative to a thermal expansion coefficient of Si, which is material of the wafer, does not cause crystal defects when the Ge layer is annealed at a certain temperature.

In order to improve light-emission efficiency without degrading protection performance of a light-emitting layer structure a three p-type layer structure composed of first to third layers is provided in contact with a light-emitting layer structure. The first layer is an n-type AlGaN layer that serves as a protective layer, the third layer is a GaN:Mg layer that serves as a contact layer and the second layer is an AlGaN:Mg layer formed between these layers as an intermediate layer. The provision of the intermediate layer enables an InGaN layer to be thoroughly protected from heat during growth of layers above even if the n-type AlGaN layer is made thin, whereby the GaN:Mg layer can be brought near the light-emitting layer structure to enhance the efficiency of hole injection into the light-emitting layer structure and thus increase the light-emission efficiency.
