摘要:
This invention reduces planar defects which occur within a silicon carbide single crystal when a silicon carbide single crystal is epitaxially grown on a single crystal substrate.The process for producing a silicon carbide single crystal in which a silicon carbide single crystal layer is epitaxially grown on the surface of a single crystal substrate is a process in which a plurality of undulations that extend in a single, substantially parallel direction on the substrate surface is formed on the single crystal substrate surface; undulation ridges on the single crystal substrate undulate in the thickness direction of the single crystal substrate; and the undulations are disposed so that planar defects composed of anti-phase boundaries and/or twin bands that propagate together with the epitaxial growth of the silicon carbide single crystal merge with each other.

A process for producing a silicon carbide single crystal in which a silicon carbide single crystal layer is homo-epitaxially or hetero-epitaxially grown on a surface of a single crystal substrate, wherein a plurality of substantially parallel undulation ridges that extend in a first direction on the single crystal substrate surface is formed on said single crystal substrate surface; each of the undulation ridges on said single crystal substrate surface has a height that undulates as each of the undulation ridges extends in the first direction; and the undulation ridges are disposed so that planar defects composed of anti-phase boundaries and/or twin bands that propagate together with the epitaxial growth of the silicon carbide single crystal merge with each other.
