A mirror-polished obverse surface and a roughened reverse surface of the conventional GaN wafers have been discriminated by difference of roughness on the surfaces with human eyesight. The difference of the surfaces is rather ambiguous. Cracks/breaks and distortion of the wafers have been likely to occur because the roughness of the reverse surface is apt to bring fine particles. To discern an obverse from a reverse without making use of the difference of the surface roughness, the present invention provides an obverse/reverse discriminative rectangular nitride semiconductor wafer having a longer slanting edge and a shorter slanting edge at obversely-clockwise neighboring comers, or having an asymmetric slanting edge at a comer, or having asymmetrically bevelled parts or having discriminating characters marked by laser. The present invention can make the reverse surface mirror-polished and smooth, so that particles on the reverse surface and distortion, cracks or breaks of the wafer decrease. |
