Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a substrate and a semiconductor layer formed on the substrate. The substrate has: a flat region provided in a main surface thereof; a first indentation region provided in a portion of the main surface different from the flat region and formed with first recesses; and a second indentation region provided between the first indentation region and the flat region, formed with second recesses, and having a lower probability of occurrence of growth nuclei than the first indentation region and a higher probability than the flat region in the case where a crystal of a semiconductor is grown on the main surface.
