摘要:
There is provided a method for fabricating a gallium nitride crystal with low dislocation density, high crystallinity, and resistance to cracking during polishing of sliced pieces by growing the gallium nitride crystal using a gallium nitride substrate including dislocation-concentrated regions or inverted-polarity regions as a seed crystal substrate. Growing a gallium nitride crystal 79 at a growth temperature higher than 1,100° C. and equal to or lower than 1,300° C. so as to bury dislocation-concentrated regions or inverted-polarity regions 17a reduces dislocations inherited from the dislocation-concentrated regions or inverted regions 17a, thus preventing new dislocations from occurring over the dislocation-concentrated regions or inverted-polarity regions 17a. This also increases the crystallinity of the gallium nitride crystal 79 and its resistance to cracking during the polishing.

A low dislocation density AlxInyGa1-x-yN single crystal substrate is made by forming a seed mask having parallel stripes regularly and periodically aligning on an undersubstrate, growing an AlxInyGa1-x-yN crystal on a facet-growth condition, forming repetitions of parallel facet hills and facet valleys rooted upon the mask stripes, maintaining the facet hills and facet valleys, producing voluminous defect accumulating regions (H) accompanying the valleys, yielding low dislocation single crystal regions (Z) following the facets, making C-plane growth regions (Y) following flat tops between the facets, gathering dislocations on the facets into the valleys by the action of the growing facets, reducing dislocations in the low dislocation single crystal regions (Z) and the C-plane growth regions (Y), and accumulating the dislocations in cores (S) or interfaces (K) of the voluminous defect accumulating regions (H).

摘要:
A nitride semiconductor crystal substrate is produced by forming a network mask repeating a closed loop unit shape upon an undersubstrate, growing a nitride semiconductor crystal in vapor phase, producing convex facet hills covered with facets on exposed parts Π, forming outlining concavities on mask-covered parts not burying the facets, maintaining the convex facet hills on Π and the network concavities on excluding dislocations in the facet hills down to the outlining concavities on forming a defect accumulating region H on decreasing dislocations in the facet hills and improving the facet hills to low defect density single crystal regions Z, producing a rugged nitride crystal, and slicing and polishing the nitride crystal into mirror nitride crystal wafers. After the fabrication of devices on the nitride wafer, dry-etching or wet etching of hot KOH or NaOH divides the device-carrying wafer into chips by corroding the network defect accumulating region H.
