    Abstract: A method for growing nitride III-V compound semiconductor layers, comprises the steps of: growing a first BwAlxGayInzN layer (where 0≤w≤1, 0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤1, 0≤z≤1 and w+x+y+z=1) on a substrate by first vapor deposition at a growth rate not higher than 4 mu m/h; and growing a second BwAlxGayInzN layer (where 0≤w≤1, 0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤1, 0≤z≤1 and w+x+y+z=1) on the first BwAlxGayInzN layer by second vapor deposition at a growth rate higher than 4 mu m/h and not higher than 200 mu m/h. A method for fabricating a nitride III-V compound semiconductor substrate, comprises the steps of: growing a first BwAlxGayInzN layer (where 0≤w≤1, 0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤1, 0≤z≤1 and w+x+y+z=1) on a substrate by first vapor deposition at a growth rate not higher than 4 mu m/h; growing a second BwAlxGayInzN layer (where 0≤w≤1, 0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤1, 0≤y≤1 and w+x+y+z=1) on the first BwAlxGayInzN layer by second vapor deposition at a growth rate higher than 4 mu m/h and not higher than 200 mu m/h; and removing the substrate.

    Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device using nitride III-V compound semiconductors is improved to reduce the threshold current density with almost no increase of the operation voltage. In a GaN semiconductor laser as one version thereof, the p-type cladding layer (10) is made of two or more semiconductor layers (10a, 10b) different in band gap, and a part (10a) of the p-type cladding layer (10) near one of its boundaries nearer to the active layer is made of a semiconductor layer having a larger band gap than that of the remainder part (10b). More specifically, in a AlGaN/GaN/GaInN SCH-structured GaN semiconductor laser, a p-type AlGaN cladding layer (10) is made of a p-type Alx1Ga1-x1N layer (10a) in contact with a p- type GaN optical guide layer (9), and a p-type Alx2Ga1-x2N layer (10b) overlying the p-type Alx1Ga1-x1N layer (10a) (where 0≤x2

    Abstract: A plurality of first layers made of AlGaN mixed crystal each having a thickness of the order of 1 to 100 nm and a plurality of second layers of p-type GaN with Mg each having a thickness of the order of 1 to 100 nm are alternately stacked. Since each of the first and second layers is thin, the stacked layers as a whole have properties of p-type AlGaN mixed crystal although the first layers do not include Mg and the second layers do not include Al. An Al source and a Mg source are temporally separated to be introduced in a stacking process. A reaction between the Al source and Mg source which may interfere desirable crystal growth is thereby prevented. Crystals of good quality are thus grown and electrical conductivity is thereby improved.
