A manufacturing method of a nitride semiconductor device includes: introducing a p type impurity into at least a part of an upper layer portion of a first nitride semiconductor layer to form a p type impurity introduction region; forming a second nitride semiconductor layer from an upper surface of the first nitride semiconductor layer so as to include the p type impurity introduction region; and performing an anneal treatment in a state where the second nitride semiconductor layer is formed on the first nitride semiconductor layer.

A single crystal multilayer low-loss optical component including first and second layers made from dissimilar materials, with the materials including the first layer lattice-matched to the materials including the second layer. The first and second layers are grown epitaxially in pairs on a growth substrate to which the materials of the first layer are also lattice-matched, such that a single crystal multilayer optical component is formed. The optical component may further include a second substrate to which the layer pairs are wafer bonded after being removed from the growth substrate.

A film forming method includes: forming a laminated film, in which an interface layer, a bulk layer, and a surface layer are laminated in this order, on a base; and crystallizing the laminated film, wherein the bulk layer is formed of a film that is easier to crystallize than the interface layer in crystallizing the laminated film, and wherein the surface layer is formed of a film that is easier to crystallize than the bulk layer in crystallizing the laminated film.

An electric field drives nanocrystals dispersed in solvents to assemble into ordered three-dimensional superlattices. A first electrode and a second electrode 214 are in the vessel. The electrodes face each other. A fluid containing charged nanocrystals fills the vessel between the electrodes. The electrodes are connected to a voltage supply which produces an electrical field between the electrodes. The nanocrystals will migrate toward one of the electrodes and accumulate on the electrode producing ordered nanocrystal accumulation that will provide a superlattice thin film, isolated superlattice islands, or coalesced superlattice islands.
