Abstract

The method of fabricating a nitride semiconductor of this invention includes the steps of forming, on a substrate, a first nitride semiconductor layer of AluGavInwN, wherein 0≦u, v, w ≦1 and u+v+w=1; forming, in an upper portion of the first nitride semiconductor layer, plural convexes extending at intervals along a substrate surface direction; forming a mask film for covering bottoms of recesses formed between the convexes adjacent to each other; and growing, on the first nitride semiconductor layer, a second nitride semiconductor layer of AlxGayInzN, wherein 0≦x, y, z≦1 and x+y+z=1, by using, as a seed crystal, Cplanes corresponding to top faces of the convexes exposed from the mask film.
