  • Patent number: 8236672
    Abstract: A cavity-containing layer having a plurality of cavities is formed on a growth substrate by carrying out in alternating fashion a plurality of cycles of a first and second growth steps of growing a group III nitride at growth rates different from each other. The semiconductor epitaxial layer is subsequently formed on the cavity-containing layer, after which a support substrate is bonded to the semiconductor epitaxial layer. The growth substrate is separated from the cavity-containing layer.

  • Patent number: 8111350
    Abstract: A plurality of protrusions is formed on the C-plane substrate with a corundum structure. A base film made of a III-V compound semiconductor including Ga and N is formed on the surface of the substrate. The surface of the base film is flatter than the surface of the substrate. A light emitting structure including Ga and N is disposed on the base film. The protrusions are regularly arranged in a first direction that is tilted by less than 15 degrees with respect to the a-axis of the base film and in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. Each protrusion has two first parallel sides tilted by less than 15 degrees relative to an m-axis and two second parallel sides tilted by less than 15 degrees relative to the a-axis. An interval between the two second sides is wider than an interval between the two first sides.

  • Patent number: 8008170
    Abstract: There is provided a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in which a selective growth mask for partially covering a growth substrate is formed on a growth substrate; a buffer layer that is thicker than the mask is formed on a non-mask part not covered by the mask on the growth substrate, and a predetermined facet is exposed on the surface of the buffer layer; a semiconductor film is laterally grown using the buffer layer as a starting point, and a lateral growth layer for covering the mask is formed while cavities are formed on the upper part of the mask; and a device function layer is epitaxially grown on the lateral growth layer. The cavity formation step includes a first step for growing a semiconductor film at a growth rate and a second step for growing another semiconductor film at another growth rate mutually different from the first growth rate, wherein the first and second steps are carried out a plurality of times in alternating fashion.
