The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a gallium nitride single crystal that can suppress the decomposition of gallium nitride and improve production efficiency in a sublimation method. According to the manufacturing method, a material (GaN powder) for the gallium nitride (GaN) single crystal is placed inside a crucible, sublimed or evaporated by heating, and cooled on a substrate surface to return to a solid again, so that the gallium nitride single crystal is grown on the substrate surface. The growth of the single crystal is performed under pressure. The pressure is preferably not less than 5 atm (5×1.013×105 Pa). The single crystal is grown preferably in a mixed gas atmosphere containing NH3 and N2.

The method is a method for producing Group-III-element nitride crystals that includes a crystal growth process of subjecting a material solution containing a Group III element, nitrogen, and at least one of alkali metal and alkaline-earth metal to pressurizing and heating under an atmosphere of a nitrogen-containing gas so that the nitrogen and the Group III element in the material solution react with each other to grow crystals. The method further includes, prior to the crystal growth process, a material preparation process of preparing the material solution in a manner that under an atmosphere of a nitrogen-containing gas, at least one of an ambient temperature and an ambient pressure is set so as to be higher than is set as a condition for the crystal growth process so that the nitrogen is allowed to dissolve in a melt containing the Group III element and the at least one of alkali metal and alkaline-earth metal. The method according to the present invention can be performed by using, for example, the producing apparatus shown in FIG. 7.
