摘要:
A thermoelectric element formed of a sintered body of a semiconductor comprising at least two kinds of elements selected from the group consisting of Bi, Te, Se and Sb, and having a micro-Vickers' hardness of not smaller than 0.5 GPa. The thermoelectric element has a hardness of not smaller than 0.5 GPa, and exhibits a large resistance against deformation, and is not easily broken by deformation. As a result, breakage due to deformation is prevented and a highly reliable thermoelectric element is realized even when a shape factor which is a ratio of the sectional area of the thermoelectric element to the height thereof, is increased and even when the element density is increased.

摘要:
A p type group III nitride semiconductor layer can be manufactured without causing its crystal deterioration, and without requiring any complicated post-treatment, by repeating a plurality of times the following steps: the step A of growing a group III nitride semiconductor layer containing p type impurities; the step B of discontinuing the growth of the group III nitride semiconductor layer by stopping supplies of the respective material gases and the carrier gas, and replacing an atmospheric gas within a film forming apparatus with an inert gas, and reducing a temperature of the substrate from a growth temperature; and the step C of resuming the growth of the group III nitride semiconductor layer by again raising the temperature of the substrate and supplying the material gases and the carrier gas into the film forming apparatus. Thereby, the activation of the semiconductor layer is attainable by releasing hydrogen incorporated into the semiconductor layer, and reducing thermal damage, resulting in suppressing the crystal deterioration.

摘要:
Provided is a light emitting element capable of improving light extraction efficiency and suppressing the nonuniformity of emission intensity distribution over the entire surface of a light extraction surface. The light emitting element is provided with a semiconductor multilayer body having an n-type semiconductor layer and an emission layer and a p-type semiconductor layer, and an electrode pad connected to the p-type semiconductor layer. The semiconductor multilayer body has a large number of projections on one main surface thereof through which the light from the emission layer is emitted. The main surface of the semiconductor multilayer body has a first region located in the vicinity of the electrode pad, and a second region being further separated from the electrode pad than the first region. The interval between the projections in the second region is smaller than that in the first region.
