Description
図12は、本実施形態の窒化ガリウム系化合物半導体発光素子100aを示す断面図である。m面から1°以上の角度で傾斜した面を主面とするp型半導体領域を形成するため、本実施形態に係る窒化ガリウム系化合物半導体発光素子100aは、m面から1°以上の角度で傾斜した面12aを主面とするGaN基板10aを用いている。主面がm面から1°以上の角度で傾斜している基板は、一般に「オフ基板」と称される。オフ基板は、単結晶インゴットから基板をスライスし、基板の表面を研磨する工程で、意図的にm面から特定方位に傾斜した面を主面とするように作製され得る。このGaN基板10a上に、半導体積層構造20aを形成する。図12に示す半導体層22a、24a、26aは主面がm面から1°以上の角度で傾斜している。これは傾斜した基板の主面上に、各種半導体層が積層されると、これらの半導体層の表面(主面)もm面から傾斜するからである。GaN基板10aの代わりに、例えば、m面から特定方向に傾斜した面を表面とするサファイア基板やSiC基板を用いてもよい。本実施形態の構成においては、半導体積層構造20aのうち、少なくともp型電極30aと接触するp型半導体領域の表面がm面から1°以上の角度で傾斜していればよい。
