Abstract

A semiconductor buffer structure includes a silicon substrate, a nucleation layer formed on the silicon substrate, and a buffer layer formed on the nucleation layer. The buffer layer includes a first layer formed of a nitride semiconductor material having a uniform composition rate, a second layer formed of the same material as the nucleation layer on the first layer, and a third layer formed of the same material with the same composition ratio as the first layer on the second layer.
