    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.
