陷密度較高的緣故。 [專利文獻1 ]日本特開2 0 0 3 - 2 3 8 2 9 7號公報 【發明內容】 具有六 光元件 (GaN ,可以 來表示 當中最 板上層 活性層 藍寶石 利文獻 晶格結 面會形 板之缺 -4- 200924250 然而,因爲藍寶石基板之缺陷密度較高,氮化物半導 體膜層積於藍寶石基板上而形成之發光元件的信賴性較低 。另一方面,氮化物半導體膜層積於缺陷密度較低之GaN 基板等氮化物半導體基板之結晶面上而形成之發光元件時 ,有構成超晶格結構之層間界面難以形成陡峭之氮化物半 導體膜的問題。 有鑑於上述問題,本發明係提供於缺陷密度較低之氮 化物半導體基板之結晶面上配置界面陡峭之超晶格結構之 氮化物半導體膜的氮化物半導體裝置。 依據本發明之一實施形態,可以提供一種氮化物半導 體裝置,具有(a)由六方晶構造之氮化物半導體所構成 ,面法線與極性面之結晶軸之夾角爲〇

之符號。但是,圖式只是槪念,厚度及平面尺寸之關係' 各層之厚度之比率等,可能與實際之物不同。所以’具體 之厚度及尺寸,請參酌以下之說明進行判斷。此外’圖式 -5- 200924250 彼此間之尺寸之關係及比率當然也包括不同之部分。 此外’以下所示之實施形態,只是以將本發明之技術 思想具體化爲目的之裝置及方法的實例,本發明之技術思 想,構成部品之材質、形狀、構造、配置等並未受限於下 述說明。本發明之技術思想,在申請專利範圍內,可以實 施各種變更。 本發明之實施形態之半導體裝置,如第1圖所示,具 備:由六方晶構造之氮化物半導體所構成,具有面法線與 極性面(C面)之結晶軸之夾角爲0.2度至5度之角度之 基板主面11的基板10;及配置於基板主面11上,含有 由氮化物半導體所構成之超晶格結構之層的層積體20。 層積體20,具有依序層積著分別由氮化物半導體所構成 之η型半導體層21、活性層22 0、及p型半導體層23之 構造,從活性層220發生光。η型半導體層21及ρ型半 導體層23之至少任一包含超晶格結構之層。 首先,針對基板1 〇進行說明。基板1 0具有六方晶之 結晶構造,例如,可以採用GaN基板等。以下,參照第2 圖,針對六方晶之結晶構造進行說明。第2圖係六方晶之 結晶構造之晶格單元的槪念圖。 六方晶系之c軸[0 0 0 1 ]係延伸於六角柱之軸方向,以 該c軸做爲法線之面(六角柱之頂面)爲c面{ 000 1 }。c 面,+c軸側及-c軸側具有不同之性質,稱爲極性面( Polar Plane )。此外,六方晶構造之結晶時,分極方向係 沿著c軸。 -6 - 200924250 六方晶系時,六角柱之6個側面分別爲m面({1-100}面),通過不相鄰之一對稜線之面爲a面({11-20} 面)。m面及a面,係垂直於c面之結晶面,因爲垂直相 交於分極方向,故爲無極性之平面,亦即,非極性面( Nonpolar Plane) 。 基板1 〇之基板主面1 1之面法線方向,具有從c軸傾 斜之量測走離角。第3圖係基板1 0之基板主面π之面法 線方向與基板結晶軸方向之c軸方向、m軸方向及a軸方 向之關係。如第3圖所示’基板主面1 1之面法線方向與 c軸方向之夾角爲量測走離角Φ ,基板主面11之面法線 投影於基板結晶軸之m軸及c軸所定義之m軸c軸平面 之投影軸與c軸方向之夾角(以下,稱爲「朝面法線之m 軸方向之傾斜角成份」)爲Φ m,基板主面1 1之面法線 投影於基板結晶軸之a軸及c軸所定義之a軸c軸平面之 投影軸與c軸方向之夾角(以下,稱爲「朝面法線之&軸 方向之傾斜角成份」)爲Φ3。方向L係基板主面11之 面法線投影於基板結晶軸之a軸及m軸所定義之a軸m 軸平面之投影軸的延伸方向。方向L與m軸方向之夾角 爲角α。 如第5 ( a )圖所示’基板主面丨1之面法線方向具有 從c軸傾斜之量測走離角φ時,如第5 ( b )圖所示,基 板主面1 1產生平坦面之階地面1 c、及於藉由使面法線相 對於c軸傾斜而產生之段差部分的台階面1 d。 如第5(b)圖之階地面lc爲c面(〇〇〇1),垂直於 200924250 階地面1 c之c軸,從基板主面丨丨之面法線只傾斜量測走 離角Φ。如第5(b)圖所示,台階面Id,並列於l方向 。此處,基板主面1 1之面法線只朝m軸方向傾斜時,以 第3圖、第4圖而言,係相當於0s = 9〇度時。此時,產生 平坦面之階地面1 c、及於藉由使面法線相對於c軸傾斜 而產生之段差部分之等間隔的規則性台階面1 d。此時, 台階面1 d相當於m面(1 0 -1 〇 )。 基板主面1 1不但朝m軸方向傾斜也朝a軸方向傾斜 時’形成傾斜之台階面1 d,台階面1 d,如第5 ( b )圖所 示,並列於L方向。此狀態,如第3圖及第4圖所示,以 朝m軸方向之台緣配列來呈現。因爲m面在熱及化學上 係安定面,因爲a軸方向之傾斜角成份φα的大小,而無 法保持完美之斜向台階,如第5 ( b )圖所示,台階面id 形成凹凸,台緣之配列呈現紊亂。此外,如第3圖、第4 圖所示,「台緣」係將台階面1 d之段差部分投影於m軸 及a軸所定義之m軸a軸平面者。 基板主面11上,因爲台階面Id而產生段差部分,然 而,飛至該段差部分之原子,會與階地面lc及台階面Id 之2面結合,原子會比飛至階地面1 c時更強力地與基板 主面1 1結合,而可安定地捕捉飛來之原子。表面擴散過 程中飛來之原子擴散至階地面lc內。藉由將被捕捉於結 合力較強之段差部分、及以該段差部分形成所形成之轉折 位置之飛來原子組合於結晶,可藉由結晶生長之沿面生長 而進行安定之生長。 -8 - 200924250 如此,於具有基板主面1 1之面法線相對於c軸方 具有量測走離角之基板10上,層積層積體20,層積體 以台階面1 d爲中心進行結晶生長。所以,層積於面法 相對於c軸方向呈傾斜之基板1 0 8之基板主面1 1上的 積體20含有超晶格結構之層時,構成其氮化物半導體 之超晶格結構之層間界面成爲陡峭。應該係飛至階地 lc上之原子於階地面lc上移動至最佳位置,而形成平 性良好之構成超晶格結構的層。 然而,基板主面11之面法線方向與c軸方向所夾 量測走離角φ越大,台階面1 d之間隔越窄,而使台緣 台階寬度產生紊亂。所以’飛至階地面1 c上之原子無 於階地面1 c上移動,原子無法被捕捉至最佳位置。另 方面,量測走離角Φ過小,則基板主面1 1上無法發生 地面1 e及台階面1 d,或者,台階面1 d之間隔過寬。 以,爲了使構成超晶格結構之層間界面較爲陡峭’量測 離角φ以0.2度〜5度程度爲佳。量測走離角Φ爲1 以下更佳,〇 · 3度程度最佳。 第1圖所示之氮化物半導體裝置’更具備’·接觸與 板主面1 1相對之基板1 〇之背面而配置之n側歐姆電 51 ;接觸P型半導體層23之上面(與接觸活性層220 面相對之面)而配置之絕緣膜3 0 ;配置於絕緣膜3 0上

η側歐姆電極5 1,配置於省略了圖示之配線基板 配線圖案上。其次,ρ側黏結電極42與配線基板係 合線等進行電性連結。 其次’針對層積體2 0進行說明。利用有機金屬 澱積(MOCVD )法等,於基板1〇之基板主面1 1上 層積體20之生長。從η型半導體層21對活性層220 電子,從Ρ型半導體層23對活性層220注入電洞( 孔)。活性層220藉由被注入之電子與電洞的再結合

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nitride semiconductor device, particularly a nitride semiconductor device of a substrate having a square crystal structure. [Prior Art] A semiconductor laser or the like is made of a nitride semiconductor. Examples of the nitride semiconductor are, for example, aluminum nitride (AIN), nitrided (N), indium nitride (InN), or the like. Represented by the nitride semiconductor AlxInyGai.x.yN ( 1 ' 1 ' 0^x + y^ 1). Among them, the GaN-based compound semiconductor having a nitrogen-containing hexagonal crystal structure is a well-known nitride semiconductor. In general, a light-emitting element using GaN has a structure in which an n-type GaN layer, an active layer, and a p-type GaN layer are formed, and the generated light is output to the outside. The light-emitting elements are formed, for example, by laminating a nitride semiconductor film on a substrate (for example, refer to a specific one). When a nitride semiconductor film laminated on a sapphire substrate contains a super-structured nitride semiconductor film, a superlattice is formed. The interlayer of the structure is a steep nitride semiconductor film. It should be due to the high density of sapphire. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. H0 3 - 2 3 8 2 9 7 [Invention] A six-light element (GaN) can be used to represent the most active layer of the sapphire Insufficient plate -4-200924250 However, since the defect density of the sapphire substrate is high, the light-emitting element formed by the deposition of the nitride semiconductor film on the sapphire substrate has low reliability. On the other hand, the nitride semiconductor film is laminated on the substrate. When a light-emitting element formed on a crystal plane of a nitride semiconductor substrate such as a GaN substrate having a low defect density has a problem that it is difficult to form a steep nitride semiconductor film at an interlayer interface of a superlattice structure, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems. A nitride semiconductor device provided with a nitride semiconductor film having a superlattice structure having a sharp interface on a crystal plane of a nitride semiconductor substrate having a low defect density. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a nitride semiconductor device can be provided. Having (a) a hexagonal crystal nitride semiconductor, the angle between the surface normal and the crystal axis of the polar plane is a substrate on the main surface of the substrate at an angle of 2 to 5 degrees; and (b) a laminate disposed on the main surface of the substrate as a layer containing a superlattice structure composed of a nitride semiconductor. A nitride semiconductor device in which a nitride semiconductor film having a superlattice structure having a sharp interface is disposed on a crystal plane of a nitride semiconductor substrate having a low defect density. [Embodiment] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same or similar parts are given the same or similar symbols. However, the drawings are only mourning, the relationship between the thickness and the plane size, the ratio of the thickness of each layer, etc., may be related to the actual thing. Therefore, 'the specific thickness and size, please refer to the following instructions for judgment. In addition, the relationship between the size and the ratio of 'Figure-5-200924250' also includes different parts. In addition, the following embodiment, It is only an example of an apparatus and method for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the technical idea of the present invention constitutes a material of a part. The shape, the structure, the arrangement, and the like are not limited to the following description. The technical idea of the present invention can be variously modified within the scope of the patent application. As shown in Fig. 1, the semiconductor device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a substrate made of a nitride semiconductor having a hexagonal crystal structure, having a substrate main surface 11 having an angle between a surface normal line and a crystal plane of a polar surface (C surface) at an angle of 0.2 to 5 degrees; and being disposed on the main surface of the substrate 11 is a laminate 20 comprising a layer of a superlattice structure composed of a nitride semiconductor. The laminate 20 has an n-type semiconductor layer 21 and an active layer each composed of a nitride semiconductor. The structure of 22 0 and the p-type semiconductor layer 23 generates light from the active layer 220. At least one of the n-type semiconductor layer 21 and the p-type semiconductor layer 23 includes a layer of a superlattice structure. First, the substrate 1 〇 will be described. The substrate 10 has a hexagonal crystal structure, and for example, a GaN substrate or the like can be used. Hereinafter, the crystal structure of the hexagonal crystal will be described with reference to Fig. 2 . Fig. 2 is a commemorative diagram of a lattice unit of a hexagonal crystal structure. The c-axis [0 0 0 1 ] of the hexagonal system extends in the axial direction of the hexagonal column, and the c-axis as the normal surface (the top surface of the hexagonal column) is the c-plane { 000 1 }. The c-plane, the +c-axis side and the -c-axis side have different properties, called Polar Plane. Further, in the case of crystallization of a hexagonal crystal structure, the polarization direction is along the c-axis. -6 - 200924250 In the case of hexagonal crystal, the six sides of the hexagonal column are the m-plane ({1-100} plane), and the surface of the ridgeline that is not adjacent is the a-plane ({11-20} plane). The m-plane and the a-plane are perpendicular to the c-plane crystal plane, and because they intersect perpendicularly in the polarization direction, they are non-polar planes, that is, nonpolar planes. The normal direction of the surface of the main surface 11 of the substrate 1 of the substrate 1 has a deviation from the c-axis. Fig. 3 is a view showing the relationship between the normal direction of the surface of the substrate main surface π of the substrate 10 and the c-axis direction, the m-axis direction, and the a-axis direction of the substrate crystal axis direction. As shown in Fig. 3, the angle between the normal direction of the surface of the main surface of the substrate 1 and the direction of the c-axis is the measured deviation angle Φ, and the normal to the surface of the main surface 11 of the substrate is projected on the m-axis and the c-axis of the crystal axis of the substrate. The angle between the projection axis of the defined m-axis c-axis plane and the c-axis direction (hereinafter, referred to as "the tilt angle component of the m-axis direction toward the normal to the surface") is Φ m, and the surface normal of the main surface of the substrate 1 1 The angle between the projection axis of the a-axis c-axis plane defined by the a-axis and the c-axis defined by the c-axis of the substrate and the c-axis direction (hereinafter referred to as "the inclination angle component of the normal to the normal direction") is Φ3. The normal line of the direction L main surface 11 of the substrate is projected on the extending direction of the projection axis of the a-axis m-axis plane defined by the a-axis of the substrate crystal axis and the m-axis. The angle between the direction L and the m-axis direction is the angle α. As shown in the fifth figure (a), when the normal direction of the surface of the main surface of the substrate 1 has a deviation angle φ from the c-axis tilt, as shown in the fifth (b), the main surface of the substrate 1 1 is generated. The stepped surface 1 c of the flat surface and the stepped surface 1 d of the step portion which is generated by inclining the surface normal with respect to the c-axis. For example, the ground lc of the figure 5(b) is c-plane (〇〇〇1), perpendicular to the c-axis of the ground surface 1c of the 200924250 step, and the deviation from the surface normal of the main surface of the substrate is only measured by the inclination angle Φ. . As shown in Fig. 5(b), the step surface Id is listed in the l direction. Here, when the normal to the surface of the main surface 111 of the substrate is inclined only in the m-axis direction, it corresponds to 0s = 9〇 in the third and fourth figures. At this time, the stepped surface 1 c of the flat surface and the regular stepped surface 1 d which are equally spaced by the step portion which is caused by inclining the surface normal with respect to the c-axis are generated. At this time, the step surface 1 d corresponds to the m plane (1 0 -1 〇 ). When the main surface 1 1 of the substrate is inclined not only in the m-axis direction but also in the a-axis direction, the inclined step surface 1 d is formed, and the step surface 1 d is parallel to the L direction as shown in Fig. 5 (b). This state, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, is presented in a matrix arrangement in the m-axis direction. Because the m-plane is thermally and chemically stable, because of the magnitude of the inclination angle component φα in the a-axis direction, it is impossible to maintain a perfect oblique step. As shown in Fig. 5(b), the step surface id is concave and convex. The arrangement of the edges is disordered. Further, as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the "slab edge" is a projection of the step portion of the step surface 1d to the m-axis a-axis plane defined by the m-axis and the a-axis. On the main surface 11 of the substrate, a step portion is generated due to the step surface Id. However, atoms flying to the step portion are combined with the surface of the step ground lc and the step surface Id, and the atom is more than when flying to the step ground 1 c. It is strongly combined with the main surface of the substrate 1 1 to stably capture the flying atoms. The atoms that fly in the surface diffusion process diffuse into the ground lc. By combining the trapped portion which is trapped in the step of strong bonding force and the flying atom formed at the turning position formed by the stepped portion, it is possible to carry out stable growth by creeping growth of crystal growth. -8 - 200924250 In this manner, on the substrate 10 having the normal to the surface of the main surface of the substrate 1 with respect to the c-axis, the laminated body 20 is laminated, and the laminated body is centered on the stepped surface 1 d Crystal growth. Therefore, when the product 20 laminated on the substrate main surface 11 of the substrate 110 which is inclined with respect to the c-axis direction has a layer of a superlattice structure, the interlayer of the superlattice structure of the nitride semiconductor is formed. The interface becomes steep. The atoms flying on the terrace lc should be moved to the optimum position on the step ground lc to form a layer of a well-formed superlattice structure. However, the larger the normal deviation angle φ between the normal direction of the surface of the substrate main surface 11 and the c-axis direction is, the narrower the interval between the step surfaces 1 d is, and the step width of the step edge is disturbed. Therefore, the atoms flying to the ground level 1 c are not moved on the ground level 1 c, and the atoms cannot be captured to the optimum position. On the other hand, if the measurement deviation angle Φ is too small, the ground surface 1 e and the step surface 1 d cannot occur on the main surface 1 1 of the substrate, or the interval between the step surfaces 1 d is too wide. Therefore, in order to make the interface between the layers constituting the superlattice structure steep, the measurement angle φ is preferably from 0.2 to 5 degrees. It is better to measure the deviation angle Φ to be 1 or less, and the degree of 〇 · 3 degrees is the best. The nitride semiconductor device shown in Fig. 1 further includes an n-side ohmic electric 51 disposed to contact the back surface of the substrate 1 opposite to the main surface 1 1 of the board; contact with the upper surface of the P-type semiconductor layer 23 (with contact activity) The insulating film 30 disposed on the surface opposite to the surface of the layer 220; the P-side ohmic electrode 4 1 disposed on the insulating film 30; and the p-bonding electrode 42 disposed on the p-side ohmic electrode 41. As shown in Fig. 1, the ohmic electrode 41 disposed on the opening portion of the insulating film is in contact with the p-type semiconductor layer 23° toward the 20-layer film surface and the side of the base of the step. 9-200924250 η side ohmic electrode 5 丨, for example, a laminate of aluminum (A1 ) — 駄)-gold (Au) or the like can be used. At this time, the films of Al, Ti, and Au are about 100 nm, 10 nm, and 2000 nm. For the insulating film 30, for example, a film (Zr〇2) film having a film thickness of 200 nm or the like can be used. Alternatively, for example, a ruthenium oxide film or the like can be used as the insulating film 30. The P-side ohmic electrode 41 is composed of, for example, a layer of palladium (pd)-Au. At this time, the film thicknesses of 'Pd and Au were 10 nm and 20 nm, respectively. For the P-side bonded electrode 42, for example, a laminate of Ti-Au can be used. At this time, the film thicknesses of 'Ti and Au are about 50 nm and 500 nm, respectively. The η side ohmic electrode 5 1 is disposed on the wiring board wiring pattern (not shown). Next, the ρ-side bonding electrode 42 is electrically connected to the wiring board bonding wire or the like. Next, the description will be made on the layered body 20. The growth of the laminate 20 is performed on the substrate main surface 11 of the substrate 1 by an organic metal deposition (MOCVD) method or the like. Electrons (holes) are injected into the active layer 220 from the n-type semiconductor layer 21 from the n-type semiconductor layer 21 to the active layer 220. The active layer 220 is recombined with light by the injected electrons and the holes. That is, the nitride semiconductor device shown in Fig. 1 has a function of a bulk laser. The active layer 22 0 is a layer for the purpose of recombining electrons and holes to reproduce and amplify the light generated. The active layer 220 may be composed of a quantum well (MQW) structure (a Ti-thick oxygen Si〇2 body) composed of a light-emitting layer disposed between a plurality of isolation layer isolation layers made of indium gallium nitride (InGaN). Etc. In order to carry out electron injection and semi-conducting light, it is used in the same manner. Example-10-200924250 For example, repeating the thickness of the layer of the luminescent layer of the InGaN layer and the film of the spacer layer by 3 cycles (pair) The active layer 220 is formed by doping a 2 nm thick GaN (Si) layer of InGaN with a thickness of 7 nm. However, the final isolation layer of the p-type semi-conductive layer formed at the end of the formation of the layer 220 has a film thickness of about 25 nm. The wavelength of the light emission can be set to about 400 nm to 5 50 nm by adjusting the composition of indium (In ), and the band gap of the InGaN isolation layer having a relatively small band gap of 5% or more. The quantum layer is formed by a relatively large GaN layer. The n-type semiconductor layer 21 is, for example, a layer 211 from the side of the substrate 1, a cap layer 213, a cap layer 213, an n-type cladding, and an n-type. The guiding layer 215 and the superlattice layer 216 are formed. 211, for example, a film thickness of about 2 / / m. The crack prevention layer 2 1 2, for example, a layer having a film thickness of about 100 nm, for preventing formation on the crack prevention layer 2 1 2 The nitrided A1 GaN) layer is cracked. The cap layer 213 is, for example, an A1 GaN layer having a film thickness of f. The purpose of forming the n-type cladding layer 2 1 4 is to "seal the light-sealing effect" between the n-type cladding layer 214 and the p-type cladding layer 233 by light-sealing the active layer 220. The n-type cladding layer 214 may have a superlattice structure of an alternating layer A1 GaN layer and a GaN layer. For example, the n-type cladding layer 214 is formed by repeating a GaN layer having a thickness of about 2.5 nm and an AlGaN layer of about 2.5 nm. The η layer 214 is, for example, doped with a doping concentration of 7x1 Ο18 cm·3, η is 3 nm 018 cm-3 , an active germanium layer 23, etc., for example, a light-emitting layer, and a build-up layer 214 GaN layer InGaN aluminum gallium (I 1 5 nm occurs and is formed by a complex number of cycles (and a film-thickness type doped -11 - 200924250 si. The n-type guiding layer 21 5 ' is used to seal the carrier (electron and hole) The "carrier sealing effect" of the active layer 220 is a semiconductor layer for the purpose of "reducing the efficiency of recombination of electrons and holes of the active layer 220. The n-type guiding layer 2 1 5 ' is, for example, a film thickness of 60 nm. The GaN layer is formed by doping the Si of the n-type dopant at a doping concentration of 3xl018cnT3. The superlattice layer 2 1 6 ' is used to alleviate the stress of the A1 GaN layer and the GaN layer with a large difference in lattice constant. It is easy to implement a layer for the growth of the InGaN layer of the active layer 220. The superlattice layer 216 may be a superlattice structure in which a plurality of InGaN layers and GaN layers are alternately laminated. Specifically, for example, by repeating 10 cycles (pair a degree of Si doping concentration of 1 to 5 x 1018 cm · 3 film thickness of 1 nm of InGaN layer, and I The nGaN layer has the same Si doping concentration as the GaN layer having a thickness of 2 nm to form the superlattice layer 216 ° The p-type semiconductor layer 23 ' is attached to the active layer 220, and the p-type electron isolation layer 231 is laminated, p-type The guiding layer 232, the p-type cladding layer 233, and the p-type contact layer 234 are formed. The P-type electron isolation layer 23 1 prevents electrons from flowing out of the active layer 220 to improve the recombination efficiency of electrons and holes. The p-type electron isolation layer 231 is formed, for example, by an AlGaN layer having a thickness of about 13 nm and doped with magnesium (Mg) of a p-type dopant having a doping concentration of 1 χ 1 019 cn T3. The P-type guiding layer 23 2 ' A semiconductor layer for the purpose of producing the above-mentioned "carrier sealing effect". The P-type guiding layer 232 is, for example, a GaN layer having a film thickness of 10 nm, and a p-type doping doped with a doping concentration of 7 x 1 〇 18 cm · 3 12- 200924250 is formed by Mg of the impurity. The P-type cladding layer 233 is formed for the purpose of producing the "light sealing effect" described above. The p-type cladding layer 233 may be formed by alternately stacking a plurality of AlGaN layers and a superlattice structure of a GaN layer, etc. For example, an AlGaN layer having a thickness of 2.5 nm is laminated at a cycle of 85 cycles (pair) A GaN layer having a thickness of about 2·5 ηηη is formed to constitute a p-type cladding layer 233. The p-type cladding layer 233 is formed, for example, by doping the Mg of the p-type dopant at a doping temperature of 1×10 〇19 cm·3. The P-type contact layer 234 is a low-resistance layer for the purpose of reducing the resistance between the p-type semiconductor layer 23 and the p-side ohmic electrode 41. The p-type contact layer 234' is formed, for example, by a Mg layer having a film thickness of 60 nm and having a high concentration of 7 x 1019 cm·3, which is miscible with Mg of the P-type dopant. The ridge strip 50 shown in Fig. 1 is formed by removing a portion of the upper portion of the P-type semiconductor layer 23. That is, a portion of the p-type contact layer 234, the p-type cladding layer 23 3 and the p-type guiding layer 232 is removed by etching to form the ridge strip 50 along the m-axis. The ridge strip 50 extends in the m-axis direction. By the n-type guiding layer 215, the active layer 220, and the p-type guiding layer 232, the end faces at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the ridge strip 50 are formed as a resonator end face by a method of bubbling-perot (Fabry-Perot) Resist). The light generated by the active layer 220 reciprocates between the end faces of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the ridge strip 50, and is amplified by induced emission. Next, a portion of the amplified light is output as the laser light from the end face in the longitudinal direction to the outside of the nitride semiconductor device. As shown in FIG. 1, the P-side ohmic electrode 41 is only in contact with the P-type contact layer 234 of the top surface (the strip-shaped contact region) of the ridge 50, and is disposed with a -13-200924250 covering the p-type guiding layer 232. And an exposed surface 30 of the p-type cladding layer 233. Thereby, current is concentrated on the ridges 50, and efficiency can be achieved. Further, the surface of the ridge strip 50 is protected by the insulating film 30 in the p-side ohmic electrode region, the lateral direction is relaxed and easy to control, and the leakage from the side can be prevented as shown in the above description. When the surface of the main surface 11 of the substrate is inclined on the substrate 10 in the c-axis direction, when the laminated body 20 including the superlattice is laminated, the interlayer interface constituting the superlattice structure, that is, as shown in FIG. The n-type cladding layer 214 and the AlGaN layer and the GaN layer of p 233 form a good structure with a steep interface. Therefore, for example, the carrier concentration of the P-type cladding layer 233 can be increased by superposing the p-type cladding layer 233. Further, the η 214 and the p-type cladding layer 233 have a film thickness of 5 to 20 nm, and the composition ratio of A1 of the A1 GaN layer is, for example, 8 to 16%. The average composition ratio of the AlGaN layer and the GaN layer is 4 The ratio of ~8% is proportional to the wavelength of light outputted by the nitride semiconductor device. Further, the above description is directed to an example in which the p-type cladding layers 2 3 3 and n 2 1 4 are superlattice structures. However, for example, only the ruthenium-type cladding layer 23 3 is a superlattice structure. In Fig. 6, the result of the X-ray diffraction measurement in which the superlattice compound semiconductor film shown in Fig. 1 is formed on a sample having a crystal face (c-plane) as a main surface is obtained. The superlattice structure of the η 2 14 and the p-type cladding layer 23 3 of the samples is sealed by the contact of the laser light 4 1 of the insulating film of the film. The line is steep relative to the layer of the structure. Type cladding Good superlattice structure, degree of cladding. This, at this time. The group of A1 is determined to be a type of cladding layer. For example, a substrate having a thickness of -14-200924250 5 nm Alo.bGaN layer and 80 pairs of GaN layers can be formed. The characteristic A in Fig. 6 is a result of X-ray diffraction measurement when the nitride semiconductor film of the superlattice structure described above is formed on the sapphire substrate whose normal surface of the principal surface coincides with the crystal axis of the polar surface. The characteristic B is a result of X-ray diffraction measurement when the nitride semiconductor film of the above-described superlattice structure is formed on a GaN substrate having an angle of 0.3 to the crystal axis of the principal surface and the crystal axis of the polar surface. The characteristic C is an X-ray diffraction measurement result when the nitride semiconductor film of the superlattice structure described above is formed on the GaN substrate having the normal plane of the principal surface and the crystal axis of the polar surface. The intensity of the peak of the PM-based GaN substrate shown in Fig. 6 and the intensity of the 0th peak (main peak) of the P 〇Al〇.16GaN/GaN superlattice layer. As shown by the dotted line in Figure 6, the companion peak can be observed on both sides of the zero spike. The occurrence of this companion peak is a phenomenon unique to a membrane having a superlattice structure. The peaks of the peaks of Al, B1, and C1 are -1 peaks of the Al 〇 166 GaN/GaN superlattice layer. The peaks of the peaks A2, B2, and C2 are + 1 peaks of the Al 〇 16 GaN/GaN superlattice layer. In the X-ray diffraction measurement result shown in Fig. 6, the half width line of the accompanying peak A1 is 0.02 degrees, the half width line of the peak B1 is 〇·〇 2 degrees, and the half width line of the peak C1 is 0.08 degrees. The half-width line of the accompanying peak A2 is 〇_ 〇3 degrees'. The half-width line of the peak B2 is 〇.〇3 degrees, and the half-width line of the peak C1 is 0.11 degree. As shown in Fig. 6, the shape of the peak is different depending on the type of the substrate. The sharper the shape of the accompanying peak, the higher the steepness of the interfacial interface constituting the superlattice structure, and the formation of a perfect super lattice film. Therefore, the lower the intensity of the accompanying peak, the smoother the shape C, the lower the interface steepness of the A1 GaN layer -15-200924250 and the GaN layer compared to the characteristic A and the characteristic B. This is because the nitride semiconductor film of the superlattice structure is not perfectly formed on the GaN substrate in which the normal line of the principal surface coincides with the crystal axis of the polar surface. Because the characteristic A is accompanied by a sharper peak shape, there should be a spiral misalignment on the surface of the sapphire substrate, and the surface is obliquely offset. This surface offset should be replaced by the step ground lc and the step surface Id shown in Fig. 5(b). It can be seen from Fig. 6 that the interface steepness of the AlGaN layer and the GaN layer when the normal surface of the principal surface and the crystal axis of the polar plane are 0.3 degrees (the characteristic B) and the sapphire substrate are used. (Feature A) is equal. Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing a nitride semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Further, the method of manufacturing the nitride semiconductor device described below is merely an example, and various modifications may be made in addition to the modification. (a) A substrate 10 having a substrate main surface 11 having an angle between the surface normal and the crystal plane of the polar surface (c-plane) of 0.2 to 5 degrees is prepared. The substrate 1 is, for example, a GaN substrate having a thickness of about 305 //m. Next, the growth of the laminate 20 is performed on the substrate main surface 11 of the substrate 10 by MOCVD or the like. Specifically, the n-type semiconductor layer 21, the active layer 220, and the p-type semiconductor layer 23 are laminated in this order. (b) A portion of the p-type semiconductor layer 23 is removed by dry etching by plasma uranium etching or the like to form a ridge 5〇. Specifically, for example, after the photoresist film is entirely coated on the p-type semiconductor layer 23, the photoresist film of the uranium engraved portion is removed by photolithography to expose a portion of the surface of the p-type semiconductor layer 23 -16 - 200924250. Next, a portion of the upper portion of the P-type semiconductor layer 23 is etched away by the photoresist film as a mask to form the ridges 50. The ridge strips 50 are formed extending in the m-axis direction. (c) Next, the insulating film 30 is formed on the upper surface of the p-type semiconductor layer 23 by a liftoff method or the like. Specifically, after forming a strip mask such as a photoresist film, an insulator film is formed so as to cover the entire P-type guiding layer 232, the p-type cladding layer 233, and the p-type contact layer 234. The insulating film is peeled off so that only the top surface of the P-type contact layer 234 is exposed to form an insulating film 30° (d) to contact the top surface of the exposed p-type contact layer 234, and p is formed on the insulating film 30. After the side ohmic electrode 41, the p-side bonding electrode 42 is formed. Further, on the back surface of the substrate 10, an n-side ohmic electrode 51 is formed. According to the manufacturing method described above, a superlattice structure η is laminated on the substrate 10 having the substrate main surface 11 having an angle between the surface normal and the crystal plane of the polar surface (c-plane) of 0.2 to 5 degrees. The n-type semiconductor layer 2 1 of the cladding layer 214, the active layer 220, and the p-type semiconductor layer 23 including the p-type cladding layer 233 of the superlattice structure. Therefore, the interface between the n-type cladding layer 214 and the p-type cladding layer 23 3 forming a superlattice structure (AlGaN layer and GaN layer) is steep. As described above, in the nitride semiconductor device according to the embodiment of the present invention, lamination is disposed on the main surface 11 of the substrate at an angle of 0.2 to 5 degrees from the crystal axis of the polar surface (c-plane). Body 20. Therefore, with the nitride semiconductor device shown in Fig. 1, the substrate main surface 11 of the crystal plane of the substrate 10 of the GaN substrate having a low defect density is disposed to the same extent as the blue-17-200924250 gem substrate. The interlayer interface n-type cladding layer 214 and the P-type cladding layer 233 constituting the superlattice structure. As a result, it is possible to provide a highly reliable semiconductor device as compared with when a sapphire substrate having a large number of sapphire substrates is used. Further, the active layer 220 can reduce the threshold of the semiconductor laser by the quantum layer structure 'the active layer 220 of the substrate main surface 11 having an angle of the crystal axis of the surface of the surface of 2 to 5 degrees. Further, in order to reduce the element resistance in the semiconductor laser of the semiconductor semiconductor, the cladding layer 233 may be a superstructure composed of an AlGaN layer and a GaN layer. According to the nitride semiconductor device shown in Fig. 1, it is possible to provide a semiconductor laser which can achieve low resistance without lowering the output characteristics.

The n-type semiconductor layer 21, the active layer 220, and the first-in-one body (LED) of the p-type layer 23 are stacked. Alternatively, the laminate 20 may have another structure in which the n-type semiconductor layer 21 and the p-type semiconductor layer 23 are directly bonded. The steep crystallization of the nitriding is formed on the poles by using a nitrogen p-type lattice to provide a laser, but to limit the implementation of the semiconducting.
