摘要:
The present invention is intended to provide a method of producing a Group III nitride crystal that prevents a halogen-containing by-product from adversely affecting crystal generation and is superior in reactivity and operability. A method of producing a Group III nitride crystal includes a step of causing a Group III metal to react with an oxidizing gas and nitrogen-containing gas, thereby producing a Group III nitride crystal.

A large Group III nitride crystal of high quality with few defects such as a distortion, a dislocation, and warping is produced by vapor phase epitaxy. A method for producing a Group III nitride crystal includes: a first Group III nitride crystal production process of producing a first Group III nitride crystal 1003 by liquid phase epitaxy; and a second Group III nitride crystal production process of producing a second Group III nitride crystal 1004 on the first crystal 1003 by vapor phase epitaxy. In the first Group III nitride crystal production process, the surfaces of seed crystals 1003a (preliminarily provided Group III nitride) are brought into contact with an alkali metal melt, a Group III element and nitrogen are cause to react with each other in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere in the alkali metal melt, and the Group III nitride crystals are bound together by growth of the Group III nitride crystals grown from the seed crystals 1003a to produce a first crystal 1003.
