Abstract:
Provided is a semiconductor substrate having a uniform semiconductor film. A semiconductor substrate (1) has one or more but not more than 20 pin holes (3) per one semiconductor substrate (1) having a diameter of 2 inches. Thus, effects of warping value reduction of the semiconductor substrate (1) after semiconductor film formation and dimensional variance reduction after exposure are obtained. It is estimated that such effects are brought by having dislocation on the surface of the semiconductor substrate (1) eliminated by existence of the pin hole (3). The film qualities of the semiconductor film are uniformized, performance of a semiconductor device is uniformized, and the semiconductor substrate (1) is prevented from being broken.

Abstract:
A GaN substrate manufacturing method characterized in including a step of processing the surface of a substrate composed of a GaN single crystal into a concavely spherical form, based on differences in orientation of the crystallographic axis across the substrate surface. Processing the GaN substrate surface into a concavely spherical form reduces, in the post-process GaN substrate surface, differences in orientation of the crystallographic axis with respect to a normal. Furthermore, employing to manufacture semiconductor devices a GaN substrate in which differences in orientation of the crystallographic axis have been reduced makes it possible to uniformize in device characteristics a plurality of semiconductor devices fabricated from a single GaN substrate, which contributes to improving yields in manufacturing the semiconductor devices.
