Abstract
To provide a method for producing a Group III element nitride crystal by growing it on a plane on the −c-plane side as a crystal growth plane. The present invention is a method for producing a Group III element nitride crystal, including a vapor phase growth step of growing a Group III element nitride crystal 12 on a crystal growth plane of a Group III element nitride seed crystal 11 by vapor deposition. The vapor phase growth step is a step of causing a Group III metal, an oxidant, and a nitrogen-containing gas to react with one another to grow the Group III element nitride crystal 12 or includes: a reduced product gas generation step of causing a Group III element oxide and a reducing gas to react with each other to generate a gas of a reduced product of the Group III element oxide; and a crystal generation step of causing the gas of the reduced product and a nitrogen-containing gas to react with each other to generate the Group III element nitride crystal 12. The crystal growth plane is a plane on the −c-plane side. A crystal growth temperature is 1200° C. or more. In the vapor phase growth step, the Group III element nitride crystal is grown in an approximately −c direction.
