Abstract

The method for fabricating a nitride semiconductor of the present invention includes the steps of: (1) growing a first semiconductor layer made of a first group III nitride over a substrate by supplying a first group III source and a group V source containing nitrogen; and (2) growing a second semiconductor layer made of a second group III nitride on the first semiconductor layer by supplying a second group III source and a group V source containing nitrogen. At least one of the steps (1) and (2) includes the step of supplying a p-type dopant over the substrate, and an area near the interface between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer is grown so that the density of the p-type dopant locally increases.
