Abstract

To provide an epitaxial substrate for electronic devices, in which current flows in a lateral direction, which enables accurate measurement of the sheet resistance of HEMTs without contact, and to provide a method of efficiently producing the epitaxial substrate for electronic devices, the method characteristically includes the steps of forming a barrier layer against impurity diffusion on one surface of a high-resistance Si-single crystal substrate, forming a buffer as an insulating layer on the other surface of the high-resistance Si-single crystal substrate, producing an epitaxial substrate by epitaxially growing a plurality of III-nitride layers on the buffer to form a main laminate, and measuring resistance of the main laminate of the epitaxial substrate without contact.
