According to the invention, a film of optoelectric single crystal may be formed on a substrate made of optoelectric single crystal by a liquid phase epitaxial process. The process comprises the steps of producing a melt of a solute and a melting medium, a solid phase and a liquid phase coexisting in the melt; then cooling the liquid phase for producing super cooling state in the liquid phase; and contacting the substrate to the liquid phase to form the film on the substrate by an epitaxial growing process. The film may be produced on the substrate, the film having a half value width of an X-ray rocking curve not more than that of the substrate.

An underlying film 2 of a group III nitride is formed on a substrate 1 by vapor phase deposition. The substrate 1 and the underlying film 2 are subjected to heat treatment in the present of hydrogen to remove the underlying film 2 so that the surface of the substrate 1 is roughened. A seed crystal film 4 of a group III nitride single crystal is formed on a surface of a substrate 1A by vapor phase deposition. A group III nitride single crystal 5 is grown on the seed crystal film 4 by flux method.
