    摘要: Provided is a SiC single crystal manufacturing method whereby growing speed improvement required to have high productivity can be achieved, while maintaining flat growth in which uniform single crystal growth can be continued at the time of growing a SiC single crystal using a solution method. In this SiC single crystal manufacturing method, a SiC single crystal is grown in a crucible from a Si solution containing C. The SiC single crystal manufacturing method is characterized in alternately repeating: a high supersaturation degree growing period, in which the growth is promoted by maintaining the supersaturation degree of C in the Si solution higher than an upper limit critical value at which flat growth can be maintained, said supersaturation degree being at a growing interface between the Si solution and a SiC single crystal being grown; and a low supersaturation degree growing period, in which the growth is promoted by maintaining the supersaturation degree lower than the critical value.

    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for producing an SiC single crystal, which can efficiently cool a seed crystal attached to a seed shaft. This apparatus for producing an SiC single crystal includes: a crucible (14) for accommodating an Si-C solution (16); and a seed shaft (30) having a lower end surface (34) to which an SiC seed crystal (36) is to be attached. The seed shaft includes: an inner pipe (48) that extends in a height direction of the crucible and constitutes a first passage (60) thereinside; an outer pipe (50) that accommodates the inner pipe and constitutes a second passage (SP1) between itself and the inner pipe; and a bottom portion that has the lower end surface and covers a lower end opening of the outer pipe. One passage of the first and second passages serves as an introduction passage through which a coolant gas flows downward, and the other passage serves as a discharge passage through which the coolant gas flows upward. When viewed from an axial direction of the seed shaft, a region inside the pipe that constitutes the introduction passage is to be overlapped by a region of not less than 60% of the SiC seed crystal.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for producing a SiC single crystal, which allows improving the quality of the single crystal even when crystal growth is performed by forming a meniscus. A growth step in the production method according to the present embodiment comprises a forming step and a first maintenance step. In the forming step, a meniscus is formed between a growth interface of a SiC single crystal and a liquid surface of a Si-C solution. In the first maintenance step, the fluctuation range of the height of the meniscus is maintained within a predetermined range by moving at least one of a seed shaft and a crucible relative to the other in the height direction.
