1. A nitride semiconductor light emitting device comprising:

  • a processed substrate where a dug out region which is a recess in stripe form and a hill which is a protrusion are provided in a surface of a nitride semiconductor substrate where at least the surface is formed of a nitride semiconductor; and

    a nitride semiconductor growth layer which is formed of a plurality of nitride semiconductor thin films layered on the surface of the processed substrate, wherein a first region having a first average defect density and a second region having a defect density of which the value is higher than that of the first average defect density are respectively formed so as to be aligned in stripe form in the direction parallel to the direction in which the dug out region extends in the processed substrate, atoms that terminate the surface of the first region and atoms that terminate the surface of the second region are different from each other, and in the processed substrate before the nitride semiconductor growth layer is layered, the dug out region includes the second region in a manner where the first region and the second region are both exposed from the bottom of the dug out region and the second region is not exposed from the portions other than the bottom in the dug out region.
