Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a waveguide element includes a first crystal region, and a second crystal region. The first crystal region extends in a first direction and includes a first nitride semiconductor. The second crystal region extends in the first direction, includes a second nitride semiconductor, and is continuous with the first crystal region. A second direction crosses the first direction. The second direction is from the first crystal region toward the second crystal region. A <0001> direction of the first crystal region is from the first crystal region toward the second crystal region. A <0001> direction of the second crystal region is from the second crystal region toward the first crystal region.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for manufacturing a waveguide element, comprising:\n preparing a first layer having a recess and being crystalline, the recess extending in a first direction and having a first side surface and a second side surface opposing each other in a second direction crossing the first direction; growing a first crystal layer from the first side surface and growing a second crystal layer from the second side surface, the first crystal layer including a nitride semiconductor, the second crystal layer including a nitride semiconductor; and forming a first crystal region and a second crystal region by causing the first crystal layer and the second crystal layer to contact each other, the first crystal region including the first crystal layer, the second crystal region including the second crystal layer.
