An insulation film 150 made of SiO2 is formed on a p-layer 106, and a multiple thick film positive electrode 120, which is a metal film formed through metal deposition, is formed on the insulation film 150 and on the p-type layer 106 at the central portion of which has a window and is exposed. The insulation film 150 has a thickness of one fourth multiple of emission wavelength. Thickness of the insulation film 150 is generally determined by multiplying one fourth of intramedium emission wavelength by an odd number. By interference effect, directivity of radiated light along the optical axis direction can be improved.

A separator layer of Ti is formed on an auxiliary substrate of sapphire or the like. An undercoat layer of TiN is formed on the separator layer. The undercoat layer is provided so that a Group III nitride compound semiconductor layer can be grown with good crystallinity on the undercoat layer. TiN is sprayed on the undercoat layer to form a thermal spray depositing layer. Then, the separator layer is chemically etched to reveal the undercoat layer. Then, a Group III nitride compound semiconductor layer is grown on a surface of the undercoat layer.

An AlN layer having a surface of a texture structure is formed on a sapphire substrate. Then, a growth suppressing material layer is formed on the AlN layer so that the AlN layer is partially exposed to the outside. Then, group III nitride compound semiconductor layers are grown on the AlN layer and on the growth suppressing material layer by execution of an epitaxial lateral overgrowth method. Thus, a group III nitride compound semiconductor device is produced. An undercoat layer having convex portions each shaped like a truncated hexagonal pyramid is formed on a substrate. Group III nitride compound semiconductor layers having a device function are laminated successively on the undercoat layer.

A group III nitride compound semiconductor device has a substrate, a group III nitride compound semiconductor layer having a device function, and an undercoat layer formed between the substrate and the group III nitride semiconductor layer. The undercoat layer has a surface which has a texture structure, or which is trapezoid shaped in section or which is pit shaped. In addition, a reflection layer made of nitride of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium, hafnium and tantalum may be formed on a surface of the undercoat layer. Also the surface of the reflection layer is formed as a texture structure, a trapezoid shape in section or a pit shape.

摘要:
In an LED, the area of contact between an ohmic electrode formed on a contact layer and the contact layer serves as an effective light-emitting area of a light-emitting layer. Therefore, while the area of contact between the ohmic electrode and the contact layer is kept small, a seat electrode is interposed so that the seat electrode is connected to a circuit wiring on a wiring board by a ball electrode being contact with the seat electrode at an area larger than the area. As a result, the size necessary for forming the ball electrode can be secured easily and the light-emitting area of the light-emitting layer in the LED can be reduced sufficiently. Accordingly, a capacitance component formed by clamping the light-emitting portion of the light-emitting layer can be reduced, so that a time constant at a leading edge of luminance and a time constant at a trailing edge of luminance can be reduced sufficiently to obtain a high speed.

A preferred condition for forming a Group III nitride compound semiconductor layer on a substrate by a sputtering method is proposed. When a first Group III nitride compound semiconductor layer is formed on a substrate by a sputtering method, an initial voltage of a sputtering apparatus is selected to be not higher than 110% of a sputtering voltage.

A first group III nitride compound layer, which is formed on a substrate by a method not using metal organic compounds as raw materials, is heated in an atmosphere of a mixture gas containing a hydrogen or nitrogen gas and an ammonia gas, so that the crystallinity of a second group III nitride compound semiconductor layer formed on the first group III nitride compound layer is improved. When the first group III nitride compound layer is formed on a substrate by a sputtering method, the thickness of the first group III nitride compound layer is set to be in a range of from 50 Å to 3000 Å.
