The AlN layer (2) has a 500 .ANG. thickness. The GaN n.sup.+ -layer (3) is about a 2.0 .mu.m thick and has a 2.times.10.sup.18 /cm.sup.3 electron concentration. The n.sup.+ -layer (4) is about a 2.0 .mu.m in thickness and has a 2.times.10.sup.18 /cm.sup.3 electron concentration. The emission layer (5) is about 0.5 .mu.m thick. The p-layer 6 is about 1.0 .mu.m thick and has a 2.times.10.sup.17 /cm.sup.3 hole concentration. Nickel electrodes (7, 8) are connected to the p-layer (6) and n.sup.+ -layer (4), respectively. A groove (9) electrically insulates the electrodes (7, 8). Green light emission is obtained by this constitution. Further, only doping Zn of 5.times.10.sup.19 /cm.sup.3 into the emission layer (5) enables red light emission.

    摘要: A layer comprising silicon oxide (SiO2) is formed on (111) plane of a silicon (Si) substrate in a striped pattern which is longer in the [1-10] axis direction perpendicular to the [110] axis direction. Then a group III nitride compound semiconductor represented by a general formula AlxGayIn1−x−yN (0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, 0≦x+y≦1) is laminated thereon. The group III nitride compound semiconductor represented by a general formula AlxGayIn1−x−yN (0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, 0≦x+y≦1) grows epitaxially on the substrate-exposed regions B which are not covered by the SiO2 layer, and grows epitaxially on the SiO2 layer in lateral direction from the regions B. Consequently, a group III nitride compound semiconductor having no dislocations can be obtained.
