- the surface is mirror-polished as described above, if the polished surface is clouded, defects such as roughening occur in the formed epitaxial growth layer, and the quality of the epitaxial growth layer is reduced. There was a problem of being damaged. For this reason, various polishing methods that suppress the occurrence of haze as described above (reducing the haze level) have been proposed in the past! -347920)).
- Patent Document 1 JP-A-11 347920

The correlation with the quality of the developed epitaxial growth layer was investigated. As a result, when forming an epitaxial growth layer, the number of acidic substance atoms and silicon atoms present on the surface of the group III nitride substrate greatly affects the quality of the formed epitaxial growth layer. Obtained knowledge.
