Self-supporting GaN substrate, method of manufacturing GaN single crystal, method of manufacturing semiconductor device, and GaN layer bonding substrate and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

An object is to provide a nonpolar or semipolar GaN substrate having improved size and crystal quality. A self-standing GaN substrate has an angle between the normal of the principal surface and an m-axis of 0 degrees or more and 20 degrees or less, wherein: the size of the projected image in a c-axis direction when the principal surface is vertically projected on an M-plane is 10 mm or more; and when an a-axis length is measured on an intersection line between the principal surface and an A-plane, a low distortion section with a section length of 6 mm or more and with an a-axis length variation within the section of 10.0 × 10 -5 Å or less is observed.
