ABSTRACT:
The GaN single-crystal substrate11in accordance with the present invention has a polished surface subjected to heat treatment for at least 10 minutes at a substrate temperature of at least 1020° C. in a mixed gas atmosphere containing at least an NH3gas. As a consequence, an atomic rearrangement is effected in the surface of the substrate11in which a large number of minute defects are formed by polishing, so as to flatten the surface of the substrate11.Therefore, the surface of an epitaxial layer12formed on the substrate11can be made flat.
