    摘要: The back surface of a semiconductor crystal substrate 102 which has a thickness of about 150 μm and is made of undoped GaN bulk crystal consists of a polished plane 102a which is flattened through dry-etching and a grinded plane 102b which is formed in a taper shape and is flattened through dry-etching. On about 10 nm in thickness of GaN n-type clad layer (low carrier concentration layer) 104, about 2 nm in thickness of Al0.005In0.045Ga0.95N well layer 51 and about 18 nm in thickness of Al0.12Ga0.88N barrier layer 52 are deposited alternately as an active layer 105 which emits ultraviolet light and has MQW structure comprising 5 layers in total. Before forming a negative electrode (n-electrode c) on the polished plane of the semiconductor substrate a, the polished plane is dry-etched.
