摘要: A C-plane GaN substrate only mildly restricts the shape and dimension of a nitride semiconductor device formed on the substrate. The variation of an off-angle on the main surface of the substrate is suppressed. In the C-plane GaN substrate: the substrate comprises a plurality of facet growth areas each having a closed ring outline-shape on the main surface; the number density of the facet growth area accompanied by a core among the plurality of facet growth areas is less than 5 cm−2 on the main surface; and, when any circular area of 4 cm diameter is selected from an area which is on the main surface and is distant by 5 mm or more from the outer peripheral edge of the substrate, the variation widths of an a-axis direction component and an m-axis direction component of an off-angle within the circular area is each 0.25 degrees or less.
