    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a nitride semiconductor device capable of enhancing productivity and a production yield. SOLUTION: Prior to a photolithography process, a mask 16 composed of a SiO 2 film is formed on a coating grown layer 14. The surface of the mask 16 is polished by mechanical abrasion (lapping) so that the height of a projection 15 is set to 1 μm or less, for example. The mask 16 is removed by using a hydrogen fluoride solution. The projection 15 formed on the surface of the coating grown layer 14 is removed, and the surface of the coating grown layer 14 is flattened. In a post-photolithography process, when a photomask is brought into contact with a substrate coated with a nitride semiconductor layer by using a contact-type exposure device, since pressure is equally applied to the whole surface of a substrate 11, cracks of the substrate are prevented.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing nitride semiconductor, by which the contact resistance of a nitride semiconductor with an electrode can be lowered and, at the same time, the stability of the characteristics of the semiconductor can be improved, and to provide a method of manufacturing semiconductor element using the method.
    SOLUTION: After the nitride semiconductor doped with p-type impurity is manufactured, the carbon existing on the surface of the semiconductor is removed and, at the same time, an oxide film is formed on the surface by treating the surface in an active oxygen-containing atmosphere. Thereafter, the semiconductor is made to turn into a p-type semiconductor by activating the p-type impurity. Since the carbon is removed from the surface of the semiconductor and the oxide film is formed on the surface, decomposition of the surface during the course of the activating treatment can be prevented and, at the same time, the activating rate of the p-type impurity can be improved. Therefore, the contact resistance of the semiconductor with the electrode can be lowered, and the variation of the characteristics of the semiconductor can be reduced.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To improve reproducibility and composition controllability by successively detecting the growing-temperature and/or the composition during the growth and by providing a feedback with respect to the difference between them and set values thereof. CONSTITUTION: In a first procedure S1, an epitaxial growth layer is irradiated by an energy beam and the light emitted therefrom is detected. In a second procedure S2, crystallizabilities are discriminated and requirements for epitaxial growth are found out from the wavelength and the intensity of the detected emitted light. In a third procedure S3, the values of the found out epitaxial growth requirements and the set values thereof upon detection of the emitted light are compared to calculate the difference therebetween, and current epitaxial growth requirements are updated based on that difference. In a fourth procedure S4, epitaxial growth is carried out under the updated epitaxial growth requirements. In a fifth procedure S5, it is decided whether the control of the epitaxial growth requirements is to be continued or terminated, and if it is decided to be continued, the first pocedure ff. are instructed to be carried out again.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a GaN semiconductor light-emitting device which is formed on a GaN single-crystal substrate and has a structure the current leakage is reduced. SOLUTION: In the GaN semiconductor laser device 50, a p-side electrode and an n-side electrode are disposed on a laminated structure-side. The device has the same structure as that of a conventional GaN semiconductor layer device formed on a sapphire substrate, except that the laminated structure of a GaN compound semiconductor layer is formed directly on the GaN single-crystal substrate 52, without installing a GaN-ELO structure layer by using the GaN single crystal substrate 52, instead of the sapphire substrate. The GaN single-crystal substrate 50 has core parts 52a in continuous band shapes of 10μm width, and the interval between the core part 52a and the core part 52a is about 400μm. A laser stripe 30, a pad metal 37 of the p-side electrode 36 and the n-side electrode 38 are disposed in the laminated structure on a region, except the core part 52a of the GaN single crystal substrate 50. A horizontal distance S p between the pad metal 37 and an outer peripheral edge of the core part 52a and a horizontal distance S n between the n-side electrode 38 and the outer peripheral edge of the core part 52a are 95μm.
