Abstract
An AlGaN layeris formed on a silicon substratein a striped or grid pattern. A GaN layeris formed in regions A where the substrateis exposed and in regions B which are defined above the layerAt this time, the GaN layer grows epitaxially and three-dimensionally (not only in a vertical direction but also in a lateral direction) on the AlGaN layerSince the GaN layer grows epitaxially in the lateral direction as well, a GaN compound semiconductor having a greatly reduced number of dislocations is obtained in lateral growth regions (regions A where the substrateis exposed).
