In the flux method, a source nitrogen gas is sufficiently heated before feeding to an Na—Ga mixture.The apparatus of the invention is provided for producing a group III nitride based compound semiconductor. The apparatus includes a reactor which maintains a group III metal and a metal differing from the group III metal in a molten state, a heating apparatus for heating the reactor, an outer vessel for accommodating the reactor and the heating apparatus, and a feed pipe for feeding a gas containing at least nitrogen from the outside of the outer vessel into the reactor. The feed pipe has a zone for being heated together with the reactor by means of the heating apparatus, wherein the zone is heated inside the outer vessel and outside the reactor.

A GaN single crystal 20 is grown on a crystal growth surface of a seed crystal (GaN layer 13) through the flux method in a nitrogen (N2) atmosphere at 3.7 MPa and 870° C. employing a flux mixture including Ga, Na, and Li at about 870° C. Since the back surface of the template 10 is R-plane of the sapphire substrate 11, the template 10 is readily corroded or dissolved in the flux mixture from the back surface thereof. Therefore, the template 10 is gradually dissolved or corroded from the back surface thereof, resulting in separation from the semiconductor or dissolution in the flux. When the GaN single crystal 20 is grown to a sufficient thickness, for example, about 500 μm or more, the temperature of the crucible is maintained at 850° C. to 880° C., whereby the entirety of the sapphire substrate 11 is dissolved in the flux mixture.

A growth apparatus is used having a plurality of crucibles each for containing the solution, a heating element for heating the crucible, and a pressure vessel for containing at least the crucibles and the heating element and for filling an atmosphere comprising at least nitrogen gas. One seed crystal is put in each of the crucibles to grow the nitride single crystal on the seed crystal.
