Abstract

There is provided a method for manufacturing a group-III nitride substrate, including: (a) preparing a substrate which is made of a group III-nitride crystal and which has a high oxygen concentration domain where an oxygen concentration is higher than that of a matrix of the crystal; (b) irradiating the substrate with laser beam aiming at the high oxygen concentration domain, forming a through-hole penetrating the substrate in a thickness direction, and removing at least a part of the high oxygen concentration domain from the substrate; and (c) embedding at least a part of an inside of the through-hole by growing the group-III nitride crystal in the through-hole.
