Abstract
Provided is a crack-free epitaxial substrate having a small amount of warping, in which a silicon substrate is used as a base substrate. The epitaxial substrate includes: a (111) single crystal Si substrate and a buffer layer formed of a plurality of lamination units being continuously laminated. The lamination unit includes: a composition modulation layer formed of a first and a second unit layer having different compositions being alternately and repeatedly laminated such that a compressive strain exists therein; a termination layer formed on an uppermost portion of the composition modulation layer, the termination layer acting to maintain the compressive strain existing in the composition modulation layer; and a strain reinforcing layer formed on the termination layer, the strain reinforcing layer acting to enhance the compressive strain existing in the composition modulation layer.
