摘要： A method for manufacturing Group III nitride crystals with high quality is provided. By the method, a crystal raw material solution and gas containing nitrogen are introduced into a reactor vessel, which is heated, and crystals are grown in an atmosphere of pressure applied thereto. The gas is introduced from a gas supplying device to the reactor vessel through a gas inlet of the reactor vessel, and then is exhausted to the inside of a pressure-resistant vessel through a gas outlet of the reactor vessel. Since the gas is introduced directly to the reactor vessel, impurities attached to the pressure-resistant vessel and the like into the crystal growing site can be prevented. Further, the gas flows through the reactor vessel, to suppress aggregation of an evaporating alkali metal, etc., at the gas inlet and reduce flow of the metal vapor into the gas supplying device.

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.

摘要： The present invention provides a method for producing a compound single crystal that can improve a growth rate and grow a large single crystal with high crystal uniformity in a short time, and a production apparatus used for the method. The compound single crystal is grown while stirring a material solution to create a flow from a gas-liquid interface in contact with a source gas toward the inside of the material solution. With this stirring, the source gas can be dissolved easily in the material solution, and supersaturation can be achieved in a short time, thus improving the growth rate of the compound single crystal. Moreover, the flow formed by the stirring goes from the gas-liquid interface where a source gas concentration is high to the inside of the material solution where the source gas concentration is low, so that dissolution of the source gas becomes uniform. Accordingly, it is possible not only to suppress nonuniform nucleation at the gas-liquid interface, but also to improve the quality of the compound single crystal produced.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了一种能够在短时间内提高生长速度和生长具有高结晶均匀性的大单晶的化合物单晶的制造方法和用于该方法的制造装置。在搅拌材料溶液的同时培养复合单晶以产生与源气体接触的气液界面朝向材料溶液内部的流动。通过该搅拌，能够将源气体容易地溶解在原料溶液中，可以在短时间内实现过饱和，从而提高复合单晶的生长速度。此外，通过搅拌形成的流动源于源气体浓度高的气液界面到源气体浓度低的材料溶液的内部，使得源气体的溶解变得均匀。因此，不仅可以抑制气液界面的不均匀成核，而且可以提高制造的复合单晶的质量。

摘要： The present invention provides a Group III nitride crystal substrate whose surface has concavities and convexities reduced in size. The surfaces with concavities and convexities, such as hillocks, pits and facets, of Group III nitride crystals are brought into contact with a melt and thereby the surfaces are subjected to meltback etching or mechanochemical polishing. The melt includes at least one of alkali metal and alkaline-earth metal. Thus a Group III nitride crystal substrate that has reduced strain and a reduced number of defects, which are caused through the processing, and is excellent in surface flatness is manufactured. Furthermore, by the use of the Group III nitride crystal substrate of the present invention, for instance, semiconductor devices of high performance can be obtained.

摘要： The present invention provides a method of manufacturing Group III nitride crystals that are of high quality, are manufactured efficiently, and are useful and usable as a substrate for semiconductor manufacturing processes. A semiconductor layer that is made of a semiconductor and includes crystal-nucleus generation regions at its surface is formed. The semiconductor is expressed by a composition formula of AluGavIn1-u-vN (where 0≦u≦1, 0≦v≦1, and u+v≦1). Group III nitride crystals then are grown on the semiconductor layer by bringing the crystal-nucleus generation regions of the semiconductor layer into contact with a melt in an atmosphere including nitrogen. The melt contains nitrogen, at least one Group III element selected from the group consisting of gallium, aluminum, and indium, and at least one of alkali metal and alkaline-earth metal.
