Abstract

A method of making a bulk crystal substrate of a GaN single crystal includes the steps of forming a molten flux of an alkali metal in a reaction vessel and causing a growth of a GaN single crystal from the molten flux, wherein the growth is continued while replenishing a compound containing N from a source outside the reaction vessel.
