Abstract
Disclosed herein is a process for production of a nitride semiconductor device having good characteristic properties (such as light-emitting performance). The process does not thermally deteriorate the active layer while nitride semiconductor layers are being grown on the active layer. The process consists of forming an active layer on a substrate by vapor phase growth at a first growth temperature, and subsequently forming thereon one or more nitride semiconductor layers at a temperature which is lower than said first growth temperature plus 250° C. The process yields a nitride semiconductor device in which the active layer retains its good crystal properties, without nitrogen voids and metallic indium occurring therein due to breakage of In—N bonds.
