    摘要: A solution is formation of a nitride semiconductor layer on one principal plane of a single crystal substrate through a first layer. Upon selecting arbitrary three places in a radial direction from a cross section cleaved in a diameter portion and observing an interface between the first layer and the nitride semiconductor layer by taking a width of at least 500 nm in the radial direction, a value is within the range of 6 nm or more and 15 nm or less in a mean value of the three places with regard to a difference between a maximum height of a convex top portion and a minimum height of a concave bottom portion of the first layer in a thickness direction from the single crystal substrate toward the nitride semiconductor layer. A value is 10 nm or more and 25 nm or less in the mean value.
