A production method is provided in which Group-III-element nitride single crystals that have a lower dislocation density and a uniform thickness and are transparent, high quality, large, and bulk crystals can be produced with a high yield. The method for producing Group-III-element nitride single crystals includes: heating a reaction vessel containing at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal and an alkaline-earth metal and at least one Group III element selected from the group consisting of gallium (Ga), aluminum (Al), and indium (In) to prepare a flux of the metal element; and feeding nitrogen-containing gas into the reaction vessel and thereby allowing the Group III element and nitrogen to react with each other in the flux to grow Group-III-element nitride single crystals, wherein the single crystals are grown, with the flux being stirred by rocking the reaction vessel, for instance.

The present invention provides a method for producing aluminum nitride crystals under mild pressure and temperature conditions. In the production method of aluminum nitride crystals, aluminum nitride crystals are formed and grown in the presence of nitrogen-containing gas by allowing aluminum and the nitrogen to react with each other in a flux containing the following component (A) and component (B), or a flux containing the following component (B). (A) At least one element selected from the group consisting of the alkali metal and the alkaline-earth metal. (B) At least one element selected from the group consisting of tin (Sn), gallium (Ga), indium (In), bismuth (Bi) and mercury (Hg).

A manufacturing apparatus of Group III nitride crystals and a method for manufacturing Group III nitride crystals are provided, by which high quality crystals can be manufactured. For instance, crystals are grown using the apparatus of the present invention as follows. A crystal raw material (131) and gas containing nitrogen are introduced into a reactor vessel (120), to which heat is applied by a heater (110), and crystals are grown in an atmosphere of pressure applied thereto. The gas is introduced from a gas supplying device (180) to the reactor vessel (120) through a gas inlet of the reactor vessel, and then is exhausted to the inside of a pressure-resistant vessel (102) through a gas outlet of the reactor vessel. Since the gas is introduced directly to the reactor vessel (120) without passing through the pressure-resistant vessel (102), the mixture of impurities attached to the pressure-resistant vessel (102) and the like into the site of the crystal growth can be prevented. Further, since the gas flows through the reactor vessel (120), there is no aggregation of an evaporating alkali metal, etc., at the gas inlet or the like, and such an alkali metal does not flow into the gas supplying device (180). As a result, the quality of Group III nitride crystals obtained can be improved.

A method for manufacturing Group III nitride crystals with high quality is provided. By the method, a crystal raw material solution and gas containing nitrogen are introduced into a reactor vessel, which is heated, and crystals are grown in an atmosphere of pressure applied thereto.

Since the gas is introduced directly to the reactor vessel, impurities attached to the pressure-resistant vessel and the like into the crystal growing site can be prevented. Further, the gas flows through the reactor vessel, to suppress aggregation of an evaporating alkali metal, etc., at the gas inlet and reduce flow of the metal vapor into the gas supplying device.
