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 provide a nitride semiconductor light-emitting element having a structure capable of reducing lateral spread of carriers coming from a semiconductor ridge.SOLUTION: In a semiconductor laser on a {20-21} plane, two-dimensional hole gas is generated at the heterojunction in a hole band. When the heterojunction generating the two-dimensional hole gas is deviated from a semiconductor ridge, the two-dimensional hole gas has caused lateral spread of carriers in the semiconductor region on the p-side. In the semiconductor laser on the c-plane, two-dimensional hole gas is not generated at the heterojunction in the hole band. When the heterojunction HJ is included in the semiconductor ridge, carriers flown out from the semiconductor ridge do not spread laterally due to action of the two-dimensional hole gas.
