First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of manufacturing a nitride semiconductor substrate, comprising:
- a first step of selectively forming an irregular region on the main surface of said base substrate;
a second step of growing a semiconductor layer of nitride on said irregular region in said base substrate so that a recessed portion in the irregular region is filled and the upper surface thereof is even; and
a third step of irradiating an interface between said semiconductor layer and said base substrate with a laser beam, thereby separating said semiconductor layer from said base substrate to form a semiconductor substrate from said semiconductor layer.

Abstract
A main surface of a base substrate of sapphire is selectively formed an irregular region on the main surface. Then, a semiconductor layer of gallium nitride is grown to fill recessed portions in the irregular region of the base substrate and make the upper surface even. Then, a laser beam is irradiated upon the interface between the semiconductor layer and the irregular region of the base substrate to separate the semiconductor layer from the base substrate. As a result, a nitride semiconductor substrate is produced from the semiconductor layer.
