A GaN substrate on which an epitaxially grown layer of good quality can be formed is obtained. A GaN substrate as a group III nitride substrate has a surface in which the number of chlorine atoms per square centimeter of the surface is not more than 2×1014, and the number of silicon atoms per square centimeter of the surface is not more than 3×1013, wherein a plane orientation of the surface is any of a (0001) plane, a (11-20) plane, a (10-12) plane, a (10-10) plane, a (20-21) plane, a (10-11) plane, a (11-21) plane, a (11-22) plane, and a (11-24) plane of a wurtzite structure. |
