Abstract

A masking material 13, which includes stripe-like openings 12 parallel to the [1-100] direction of a nitride semiconductor thin film, is formed on a substrate. Nitride semiconductor thin films 11 doped with Mg are grown on the openings 12 by selective-area growth. The nitride semiconductor thin films 11 are composed of a portion 14 formed as a result of the growth in the direction perpendicular to a (0001) principal plane, and a portion 15 formed as a result of the growth of {11-2x} facets (x=0, 1, 2). The Mg concentration of the portion 15 is made lower than that of the portion 14.
