    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable reliable obtainment of a P type layer having a low resistance in a short time from a semiconductor layer of group III nitride while avoiding generation of defects in the semiconductor layer. SOLUTION: An N type contact layer 13 of GaN, an N type cladding layer 14 of AlGaN, an active layer 15 of InGaN, a first Mg-doped layer 16A of AlGaN and a second Mg-doped layer 17A of GaN are first sequentially grown on a substrate 11 of sapphire. Thereafter the substrate having the second Mg-doped layer 17a formed thereon is exposed to nitrogen plasma for 40 minutes. As a result, Mg atoms as acceptors doped in the first and second Mg-doped layers 16A and 17A are activated so that the P type cladding layer 16B and P type contact layer 17B can be obtained having a low resistance and a good crystallization respectively.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a wave guide loss, by providing a substrate, an emitting layer, a semiconductor layer made of a first third family nitride crystal of a hexagonal crystal and a clad layer made of a second third family nitride crystal formed on the semiconductor layer, and by forming a trench having a stripe shape in a specified direction on the semiconductor layer. SOLUTION: A buffer layer 2 and an n-side contact layer 3 are orderly formed on a substrate 1. An n-side clad layer 4 is formed at a part of the n-side clad layer 3. Additionally a light emitting layer 5, a first p-side clad layer 6 and an n-type current obstructing layer (semiconductor layer) 7 are orderly formed on the n-side clad layer 4. A trench 7a having a stripe shape with a port width of about 1.5 7 μm which reaches the first p-side clad layer 6 is provided in order to transmit a current in a narrow region on the n-type current obstructing layer. The trench 7a is formed in the direction of of the current obstructing layer 7. In this case the side surface of the trench 7a has an inclination of 135 degree corresponding to the bottom surface of the trench 7a.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the chipping of a semiconductor light-emitting element, which occurs when the element is split from a substrate. SOLUTION: A semiconductor light-emitting element is constituted by successively laminating an n-type GaN layer 4, a p-type GaN layer 5, and a positive electrode 6 all of which have the same shape on the main surface of an n-type GaN substrate 3 having an equilateral triangular surface composed of the (0001)-face of the crystal from which the substrate 3 is made and side faces respectively composed of the (-1010)-face, (01-10)-face and (1-100)-face of the crystal. Therefore, the splitting direction of the element from the substrate 3 can be set along the cleavage plane of the crystal and the chipping of the light-emitting element, which occurs when the element is split from the substrate 3, can be eliminated.
