Abstract

A buffer layer with a composition of AlaGabIncN (a+b+c=1, a, b, c≧0) and a multilayered thin films with a composition of AlxGayInzN (x+y+z=1, x, y, z≧0) are formed in turn on a substrate. The Al component of the Al component-minimum portion of the buffer layer is set to be larger than that of at least the thickest layer of the multilayered thin films. The Al component of the buffer layer is decreased continuously or stepwise from the side of the substrate to the side of the multilayered thin films therein.
