Abstract

The present invention relates to a nitride semiconductor thin film and a method for growing the same. The present invention has an advantage in that a plurality of grooves are formed on a substrate by partially etching the substrate, and leg portions for preventing longitudinal growth of a nitride semiconductor are formed within the grooves so that the nitride semiconductor thin film is grown laterally to cover top portions of the leg portions, thereby ensuring growth of a high quality nitride semiconductor thin film.
