ABSTRACT:
A III-V group nitride system semiconductor substrate is of a III-V group nitride system single crystal. The III-V group nitride system semiconductor substrate has a flat surface, and a vector made by projecting on a surface of the substrate a normal vector of a low index surface closest to the substrate surface at an arbitrary point in a plane of the substrate is converged on a specific point or a specific region inside or outside the plane of the substrate.
