    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: Provided is a method for producing SiC single crystals while maintaining a temperature gradient such that the temperature decreases from within an Si solution inside a graphite crucible toward the solution surface, with the SiC seed crystals that have contacted the solution surface serving as the starting point for crystal seed growth, wherein when the crystal growth surface of the SiC seed crystals, which serves as the starting point for SiC single crystal growth, contacts the solution surface, the height by which the solution rises to the side of the SiC seed crystals is within the range where the SiC single crystals that have grown from the crystal growth surface and the SiC single crystals that have grown from the side grow as one SiC single crystal unit. Also provided is a device for producing an SiC single crystal comprising a graphite crucible, a heating device for heating and melting base materials in the crucible to form a base material solution and maintaining a temperature gradient required for growth of SiC single crystal, a support rod which holds a SiC seed crystal at its bottom end, and a holding structure which maintains the holding by the support rod so that a height by which the solution rises to the side of the SiC seed crystal is within a range where the SiC single crystal that have grown from the crystal growth surface and the SiC single crystal that have grown from the side grow as one SiC single crystal unit.

    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.
