In step S107, an AlN buffer layer 13 is grown. In step S108, at a time t5, a source gas G1 containing hydrogen, trimethylaluminum, and ammonia, in addition to nitrogen, is supplied into a growth reactor 10 to grow the AlN buffer layer 13 on a primary surface 11a. The AlN buffer layer 13 is so called a low-temperature buffer layer. After a start of film formation of the buffer layer 13, in step S109 supply of hydrogen (H2) is started at a time t6. At the time t6, H2, N2, TMA, and NH3 are supplied into the growth reactor 10. A supply amount of hydrogen is increased between times t6 and t7, and at the time t7 the increase of hydrogen is terminated to supply a constant amount of hydrogen. At the time t7, H2, TMA, and NH3 are supplied into the growth reactor 10.

    Abstract: A nitride semiconductor laser device with a reduction in internal crystal defects and an alleviation in stress, and a semiconductor optical apparatus comprising this nitride semiconductor laser device. First, a growth suppressing film against GaN crystal growth is formed on the surface of an n-type GaN substrate equipped with alternate stripes of dislocation concentrated regions showing a high density of crystal defects and low-dislocation regions so as to coat the dislocation concentrate regions. Next, the n-type GaN substrate coated with the growth suppressing film is overlaid with a nitride semiconductor layer by the epitaxial growth of GaN crystals. Further, the growth suppressing film is removed to adjust the lateral distance between a laser waveguide region and the closest dislocation concentrated region to 40 ?m or more.

  • Patent number: 8198177
    Abstract: Seeds are implanted in a regular pattern upon an undersubstrate. An AlxInyGa1-x-yN (0?x?1, 0?y?1, 0<x+y?1) mixture crystal is grown on the seed implanted undersubstrate by a facet growth method. The facet growth makes facet pits above the seeds. The facets assemble dislocations to the pit bottoms from neighboring regions and make closed defect accumulating regions (H) under the facet bottoms. The closed defect accumulating regions (H) arrest dislocations permanently. Release of dislocations, radial planar defect assemblies and linear defect assemblies are forbidden. The surrounding accompanying low dislocation single crystal regions (Z) and extra low dislocation single crystal regions (Y) are low dislocation density single crystals.
