Abstract
A guide layer is formed to have a superlattice structure comprising five pairs of layers of AlGaN and InN, each having a thickness of about 10 nm. The guide layer has a total thickness of about 0.1 &mgr;m. The guide layer so structured has a reduced elastic constant such that the guide layer acts as a stress relieving layer.
