To solve the coloration problem in the wafers grown by the ammonothermal method, the present invention composed of the following steps; growth of group III nitride ingots by the ammonothermal method, slicing of the ingots into wafers, annealing of the wafers in a manner that avoids dissociation or decomposition of the wafers. This annealing process is effective to improve transparency of the wafers and/or otherwise remove contaminants from wafers.
