Patent ID: 11970784

Abstract:
There is provided a nitride semiconductor substrate having a diameter of 2 inches or more and having a main surface whose closest low index crystal plane is a (0001) plane, wherein X-ray locking curve measurement for (0002) plane diffraction, which is performed to the main surface by irradiating with (Cu) Kα1 X-rays through a two-crystal monochromator of Ge (220) plane and a slit, reveals that full width at half maximum FWHMb is 32 arcsec or less, and FWHMa−FWHMb obtained by subtracting FWHMb from FWHMa is 30% or less of FWHMa, wherein FWHMa is full width at half maximum of the (0002) plane diffraction when a slit width in ω direction is 1 mm, and FWHMb is full width at half maximum of the (0002) plane diffraction when a slit width in ω direction is 0.1 mm.
