Abstract

To provide a semiconductor layer in which a GaN system epitaxial layer having high crystal quality can be obtained.The semiconductor layer includes a β-Ga2O3 substrate 1 made of a β-Ga2O3 single crystal, a GaN layer 2 formed by subjecting a surface of the β-Ga2O3 substrate 1 to nitriding processing, and a GaN growth layer 3 formed on the GaN layer 2 through epitaxial growth by utilizing an MOCVD method. Since lattice constants of the GaN layer 2 and the GaN growth layer 3 match each other, and the GaN growth layer 3 grows so as to succeed to high crystalline of the GaN layer 2, the GaN growth layer 3 having high crystalline is obtained.
