Abstract

There is provided a gallium nitride single crystal substrate, which is a gallium nitride single crystal substrate that has a diameter of 50 mm or more and whose low index crystal plane closest to a main surface is a (0001) plane, wherein a density of etch pits when applying etching to the main surface with an alkaline etching solution is less than 1×106 cm−2, and among peaks appearing in a histogram of diameters of the etch pits, when a diameter of a first peak appearing on a smallest diameter-side is a, a total number of the etch pits with a diameter exceeding 4a is 1/1000 or less of a number of etch pits forming the first peak.
