We studied the electrochemical property of nitride semiconductors. It was expected to be the three-electron nature so far. However, we have found out that it is the six-electron nature. The six-electron nature was observed in different solutions and pH levels, resulting in a universal phenomenon for nitride semiconductors. The result will be useful to control electrochemical etching and other treatments to achieve their precise control.
