Abstract: Disclosed are a group-III nitride-based semiconductor device that is grown over the surface of a composite intermediate layers consisting of a thin amorphous silicon film or any stress-relief film or a combination of them and at least one multi-layered buffer on silicon substrate, and a method of fabricating the same device. The intermediate layers that suppress the occurrence of crystal defects and propagation of misfit dislocations induced by the lattice mismatch between the epitaxial layer and substrate, ca n be grown on a part or the entirety of the surface of a silicon (001) or (111) substrate which can be single crystal or coated with a thin amorphous silicon film. Then at least one layer or multiple layers of high quality group-III nitride-based semiconductors are grown over the composite intermediate layers.

Abstract: Layers each consisting of one of two types of compound semiconductors A and B different from each other in a lattice constant a and an energy band gap Eg (a(A)>a(B), Eg(A)<Eg(B)) are stacked in a [111] direction on a compound semiconductor substrate whose major surface is a surface. When each layer consisting of the compound semiconductor A serves as a well layer and each layer consisting of the compound semiconductor B serves as a barrier layer, the barrier layer is formed to have a thickness larger than the critical film thickness of strain relaxation in that barrier layer and is thereby so strained as to be pulled in a direction parallel to a crystal growth surface. The well layer is so strained as to be compressed in the direction parallel to the crystal growth surface owing to partial relaxation of a strain confined in the barrier layer. This can achieve as large an optical bistable effect as possible while maintaining the light blue-shift absorption characteristic.
