Abstract
A layer of a crystal of a nitride of a group 13 element selected from gallium nitride, aluminum nitride, indium nitride and the mixed crystals thereof includes an upper surface and a bottom surface. The upper surface includes a linear high-luminance light-emitting part and a low-luminance light-emitting region adjacent to the high-luminance light-emitting part, and the high-luminance light-emitting part has a portion extending along an m-plane of the crystal of the nitride of the group 13 element, when the upper surface is observed by cathode luminescence. The upper surface has an arithmetic average roughness Ra of 0.05 nm or more and 1.0 nm or less.
