Abstract

A method for fabricating a Group III nitride film is provided, including the steps of preparing a substrate, forming an underfilm and then forming the Group III nitride film on the underfilm. The underfilm is a Group III nitride comprising at least one Group III element and includes at least 50 atomic percent of elemental Al with respect to all of the Group III elements of the Group III nitride of the underfilm. The surface of the underfilm is contoured (concave-convex) and includes flat regions, and less than 50% of the underfilm surface is occupied by the flat regions.
