GaN crystal having few dislocations is grown by using together ELO-mask and defect-seeding-mask means. ELO masks make it so that GaN crystal does not grow directly, but grows laterally; defect-seeding masks make it so that closed defect-gathering regions in which defects are concentrated are grown. <??>Any of the materials SiN, SiON or SiO2 is utilized for the ELO mask, while any of the materials Pt, Ni or Ti is utilized for the defect-seeding masks. With a sapphire, GaAs, spinel, Si, InP, SiC, etc. single-crystal substrate, or one in which a GaN buffer layer is coated onto a single-crystal substrate of these, as an under-substrate, the ELO mask and defect-seeding masks are provided complementarily and GaN is vapor-phase deposited. <IMAGE> |
