NITRIDE SEMICONDUCTOR LAYER-CONTAINING STRUCTURE, NITRIDE SEMICONDUCTOR LAYER-CONTAINING COMPOSITE SUBSTRATE AND PRODUCTION METHODS OF THESE

摘要

A nitride semiconductor layer-containing structure having a configuration in which: the structure includes a laminated structure based on at least two nitride semiconductor layers; the structure includes between the two nitride semiconductor layers in the laminated structure a plurality of voids surrounded by the faces of the walls inclusive of the inner walls of the recessed portions of the asperity pattern formed on the nitride semiconductor layer that is the lower layer of the two nitride semiconductor layers; and crystallinity defect-containing portions to suppress the lateral growth of the nitride semiconductor layer are formed on at least part of the inner walls of the recessed portions to form the voids.
