An apparatus for producing a group-III nitride semiconductor layer which forms a group-III nitride semiconductor layer on a substrate by a sputtering method, the apparatus including: a first plasma-generating region where a target containing a group-III element is disposed and the target is sputtered to generate material particles formed of a material contained in the target; and a second plasma generating region where the substrate is disposed and nitrogen-containing plasma is generated. The first plasma-generating region and the second plasma-generating region are provided inside a chamber, and the first plasma-generating region and the second plasma-generating region are separated by a shielding wall which has an opening part from which the material particles are supplied onto the substrate. Also disclosed are a method of producing a group-III nitride semiconductor layer, a method of producing a group-III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device, and a lamp thereof.
