Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a Group III nitride semiconductor epitaxial substrate, in particular to a Group III nitride semiconductor epitaxial substrate suitable for a light-emitting element in the ultraviolet or deep ultraviolet region. Background technique
[0002] Group III nitride semiconductors have conventionally been used as functional materials for constituting group III nitride semiconductor light-emitting devices having pn junction structures such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs) that emit short-wavelength visible light. In this case, in order to improve the quality of the light-emitting layer, for example, when constituting an LED that emits light in the blue band or green band using gallium indium nitride (GaInN) as the light-emitting layer, gallium nitride ( GaN) (hereinafter referred to as the base layer) improves crystallinity and facilitates light extraction. In addition, for devices such as LDs that require...
