摘要:
To produce a Group III nitride-based compound semiconductor having a m-plane main surface and uniformly oriented crystal axes.A mesa having a side surface having an off-angle of 45° or less from c-plane is formed in a a-plane main surface of a sapphire substrate. Subsequently, trimethylaluminum is supplied at 300° C. to 420° C., to thereby form an aluminum layer having a thickness of 40 Å or less. The aluminum layer is nitridated to form an aluminum nitride layer. Through the procedure, a Group III nitride-based compound semiconductor is epitaxially grown only from a side surface of the mesa having an off-angle of 45° or less from c-plane in the sapphire substrate having an a-plane main surface. Thus, a Group III nitride-based compound semiconductor having m-plane which is parallel to the main surface of the sapphire substrate can be formed.

摘要:
The present invention is a method for producing a light-emitting device whose p contact layer has a p-type conduction and a reduced contact resistance with an electrode. On a p cladding layer, by MOCVD, a first p contact layer of GaN doped with Mg is formed. Subsequently, after lowering the temperature to a growth temperature of a second p contact layer being formed in the subsequent process, which is 700° C., the supply of ammonia is stopped and the carrier gas is switched from hydrogen to nitrogen. Thereby, Mg is activated in the first p contact layer, and the first p contact layer has a p-type conduction. Next, the second p contact layer of InGaN doped with Mg is formed on the first p contact layer by MOCVD using nitrogen as a carrier gas while maintaining the temperature at 700° C. which is the temperature of the previous process.
