Abstract

A method for growing nitride semiconductor crystals according to the present invention includes the steps of: a) forming a first metal single crystal layer on a substrate; b) forming a metal nitride single crystal layer by nitrifying the first metal single crystal layer; and c) epitaxially growing a first nitride semiconductor layer on the metal nitride single crystal layer.
