GROUP III NITRIDE CRYSTAL SUBSTRATE, EPILAYER-CONTAINING GROUP III NITRIDE CRYSTAL SUBSTRATE, SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A group III nitride crystal substrate is provided wherein, a uniform distortion at a surface layer of the crystal substrate is equal to or lower than 1.9×10−3, and wherein the main surface has a plane orientation inclined in a <11-20> direction at an angle equal to or greater than 10° and equal to or smaller than 81° with respect to one of (0001) and (000-1) planes of the crystal substrate. A group III nitride crystal substrate suitable for manufacturing a light emitting device with a blue shift of an emission suppressed, an epilayer-containing group III nitride crystal substrate, a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same can thereby be provided.
