Abstract

A group III nitride compound semiconductor device has a substrate, a group III nitride compound semiconductor layer having a device function, and an undercoat layer formed between the substrate and the group III nitride semiconductor layer. The undercoat layer has a surface which has a texture structure, or which is trapezoid shaped in section or which is pit shaped. In addition, a reflection layer made of nitride of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, zirconium, hafnium and tantalum may be formed on a surface of the undercoat layer. Also the surface of the reflection layer is formed as a texture structure, a trapezoid shape in section or a pit shape.
