GALLIUM NITRIDE COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING GALLIUM NITRIDE COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR

摘要

The method for producing gallium nitride group compound semiconductor includes the steps of: forming a polycrystalline nitride layer 11a in a first temperature range on a substrate 10; forming a nucleus layer 11b of gallium nitride single crystals in a second temperature range on the polycrystalline nitride layer 11a; growing the nucleus layer 11b of gallium nitride single crystals in a third temperature range such that resulting crystals of the nucleus layer 11b of gallium nitride single crystals come into contact with each other in a direction parallel to a surface of the substrate 10; and growing the nucleus layer 11b of gallium nitride single crystals in a fourth temperature range in a direction vertical to the surface of the substrate 10. <IMAGE>
