Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0024097A1] A nitride semiconductor device that comprises a first layer, a second layer and a buffer layer sandwiched between the first layer and the second layer. The second layer is a layer of a single-crystal nitride semiconductor material including AIN and has a thickness greater than the thickness at which cracks would form if the second layer was grown directly on the first layer. The buffer layer is a layer of a low-temperature-deposited nitride semiconductor material that includes AIN. Incorporating the nitride semiconductor device into a semiconductor laser diode enables the laser diode to generate coherent light having a far-field pattern that exhibits a single peak.
