Dotted seeds are implanted in a regular pattern upon an undersubstrate. A
GaN crystal is grown on the seed implanted undersubstrate by a facet
growth method. The facet growth makes facet pits above the seeds. The
facets assemble dislocations from neighboring regions, accumulate the
dislocations into pit bottoms, and make closed defect accumulating
regions (H) on the seeds. The polycrystalline or slanting orientation
single crystal closed defect accumulating regions (H) induce microcracks
due to thermal expansion anisotropy. The best one is
orientation-inversion single crystal closed defect accumulating regions
(H). At an early stage, orientation-inverse protrusions are induced on
tall facets and unified with each other above the seeds.
Orientation-inverse crystals growing on the unified protrusions become
the orientation-inverse single crystal closed defect accumulating regions
(H).
