Abstract

To stably grow a regrowth layer. A production method for a nitride crystal substrate includes: (a) preparing a base substrate; (b) forming an intermediate layer including n-type group III nitride crystal, above the base substrate; (c) forming a cover layer on the intermediate layer, the cover layer including group III nitride crystal having a carrier concentration lower than a carrier concentration of the intermediate layer; (d) making the intermediate layer porous through dislocations in the cover layer by performing an electrochemical process, while maintaining a surface condition of the cover layer; (e) epitaxially growing a regrowth layer comprising group III nitride crystal, on the cover layer; and (f) peeling off the regrowth layer from the base substrate by using at least a portion of the intermediate layer made porous as a boundary.
