Abstract

A method of manufacturing group III-nitride semiconductor crystal includes the steps of accommodating an alloy containing at least a group III-metal element and an alkali metal element in a reactor, introducing a nitrogen-containing substance in the reactor, dissolving the nitrogen-containing substance in an alloy melt in which the alloy has been melted, and growing group III-nitride semiconductor crystal is provided. The group III-nitride semiconductor crystal attaining a small absorption coefficient and an efficient method of manufacturing the same, as well as a group III-nitride semiconductor device attaining high light emission intensity can thus be provided.
