Abstract
A large Group III nitride crystal of high quality with few defects such as a distortion, a dislocation, and warping is produced by vapor phase epitaxy. A method for producing a Group III nitride crystal includes: a first Group III nitride crystal production process of producing a first Group III nitride crystalby liquid phase epitaxy; and a second Group III nitride crystal production process of producing a second Group III nitride crystalon the first crystalby vapor phase epitaxy. In the first Group III nitride crystal production process, the surfaces of seed crystals(preliminarily provided Group III nitride) are brought into contact with an alkali metal melt, a Group III element and nitrogen are cause to react with each other in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere in the alkali metal melt, and the Group III nitride crystals are bound together by growth of the Group III nitride crystals grown from the seed crystalsto produce a first crystal
