    摘要: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing Group III nitride crystals that are of high quality, are manufactured highly efficiently, and are useful and usable as a substrate that is used in semiconductor manufacturing processes. The method of manufacturing Group III nitride crystals includes: forming a first layer made of a semiconductor that is expressed by a composition formula of AlsGatIn1-s-tN (where 0≦s≦1, 0≦t≦1, and s+t≦1); forming a second layer by bringing the surface of the first layer into contact with a melt in an atmosphere including nitrogen, wherein the second layer includes greater defects in a crystal structure, such as a dislocation density for example, than those of the first layer, and the melt includes alkali metal and at least one Group III element selected from the group consisting of gallium, aluminum, and indium; and forming a third layer through crystal growth in the melt in an atmosphere including nitrogen, wherein the third layer is made of a semiconductor that is expressed by a composition formula of AluGavIn1-u-vN (where 0≦u≦1, 0≦v≦1, and u+v≦1), and the third layer has less defects in a crystal structure, such as a dislocation density for example, than those of the second layer.

    摘要: A method for growing a GaN crystal includes a step of preparing a substrate (10) that includes a main surface (10m) and includes a Gax Aly In1-x-y N seed crystal (10a) including the main surface (10m) and a step of growing a GaN crystal (20) on the main surface (10m) at an atmosphere temperature of 800° C. or more and 1500° C. or less and at an atmosphere pressure of 500 atmospheres or more and less than 2000 atmospheres by bringing a solution (7) provided by dissolving (5) nitrogen in a Ga melt (3) into contact with the main surface (10m) of the substrate (10). The method further includes, after the step of preparing the substrate (10) and before the step of growing the GaN crystal (20), a step of etching the main surface (10m) of the substrate (10). Thus, a method for growing a GaN crystal having a low dislocation density and high crystallinity is provided without adding impurities other than raw materials to the melt and without increasing the size of a crystal growth apparatus.
