    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily activate an impurity at a target of a semiconductor with a high activation rate and satisfactory uniformity. SOLUTION: At the time of activating impurity by irradiating a semiconductor, to which impurity is doped, for example, a GaN nitride 3-5 compound semiconductor to which p-type impurity such as Mg is doped, with lights, especially, laser beams. Photor energy for which the absorption coefficient of semiconductor can be set as α=1/d, where (d) is the thickness of the semiconductor whose is to be activated impurity is defined as a measured band gap Eg-real of the semiconductor, and light beams with photon energy within the range of Eg-real ±0.5 eV are used. In this case, the temperature of the substrate may be changed while the semiconductor is irradiated with the light beams. This method for activating impurity can be used for forming a p-type layer at the time of manufacturing a GaN semiconductor with laser.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a method for growing a III-V nitride compound semiconductor having high crystallinity by increasing nitrogen materials contributing to growth. SOLUTION: A material gas, including ammonia gas being the material of nitrogen and carrier gas, is supplied inside of a reaction tube 3. The flow of the material gas inside the reaction tube 3 is set in a direction, parallel to the growth surface of a substrate 14, and the velocity of flow of the material gas inside the reaction tube 3 is set at 2 m/s or less. Thus, ammonia can be fully heated by the delay amount of the velocity of flow, and decomposing efficiency can be improved, and the supply of the nitrogen material to the growth surface of the substrate 14 can be increased, and the evaporation of nitrogen from the III-V nitride compound semiconductor during growth can be suppressed. Also, it is desirable that the inside the reaction tube 3 be pressurized.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance planarity of the edge of a resonator while facilitating fabrication. SOLUTION: An underlying layer 3 of GaN is formed on a sapphire substrate 1 through a buffer layer 2 before growing a coating layer 5 of GaN through a mask layer 4 having an opening 4a extended in the direction of the underlying layer 3. An n-type clad layer 7 of III nitride compound conductor, an active layer 9, and a p-type clad layer 11 are formed thereon. Direction B of a resonator is set in the direction of the underlying layer 3 and differentiated by 90 deg. from the extending direction A of mask opening and a pair of resonator edges 16, 17 are formed in the direction B of the resonator. Consequently, an emission region is not required to be aligned with the mask layer 4. Furthermore, planarity can be enhanced easily because the resonator edges 16, 17 located in the direction B of the resonator can be formed by cleavage.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor device suitable using a semiconductor laser, which has good characteristics and has a high efficiency and a long life, by a method wherein a semiconductor substrate is formed of a III-V nitride compound semiconductor layer having a wurtzite structure crystal structure and is formed using a plane vertical to the face 0001} as its main surface. SOLUTION: An n-type GaN contact layer 2, an n-type AlGaN clad layer 3, an active layer 4 consisting of an n-type low-impurity concentration or undoped GaInN layer, for example, a p-type AlGaN layer 5 and a p-type GaN contact layer 6 are laminated in order on an undoped GaN substrate 1 using the face (M face) 01-10} as its main surface. By cleaving the substrate 1 along the face 0001}, a III-V nitride compound semiconductor layer on the substrate 1 is cleaved along that face 0001} to form a resonator end surface. As a result, this resonator end surface becomes a flat mirror surface. Thereby, the resonator end surface, which is high in reflectivity, therefore, is low in reflection loss and is optically excellent, can be obtained.
