Abstract

Strip-shaped ditches are formed on a sapphire substrate as a base material. Then, the sapphire substrate is set into a CVD chamber, and an AlxGayInzN (x+y+z=1,x>0,y,z≧0)film is epitaxially grown on the sapphire substrate so as to embed the ditches by a selective lateral epitaxial growth method. As a result, the AlxGayInzN film has low dislocation density areas on at least one of the concave portions and the convex portions of the strip-shaped ditches.
