Abstract

A nitride semiconductor epitaxial substrate includes a low-temperature-deposited buffer layer, the composition of which is AlxGa1−xN, where 0≦x≦1, and a single crystalline layer, the composition of which is AlyGa1−yN, where 0>y≦1. The single crystalline layer is deposited directly over the low-temperature-deposited buffer layer, wherein the buffer layer has a mole fraction x satisfying (y−0.3)≦x>y.
