The present invention relates to a seed crystal consisting of a silicon carbide single crystal suitable for producing a substrate (wafer) for an electric power device, a high-frequency device or the like, and a method for producing an ingot using the same. A single crystal growing face of a seed crystal consisting of a silicon carbide single crystal is inclined at an angle ranging from 3 degrees or more to 60 degrees or less with respect to the (11-20) face to a direction inclined at an angle ranging from −45 degrees or more to 45 degrees or less from a direction to the [1-100] direction. By performing crystal growth using such a seed crystal, a high quality silicon carbide single crystal ingot can be obtained. According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain material consisting of a silicon carbide single crystal of favorable quality, which has few crystal defects such as micropipe defects and stacking faults, and the diameter is suitable for practical application.

In a method for manufacturing a thin film of metal-oxide dielectric, a precursor solution in a sol state is synthesized in a first step. This precursor solution is composed of component elements of materials of the composite metal-oxide dielectric to be manufactured. In a second step, this precursor solution is made a thin film by spin coating. In a third step, this thin film in the sol state is dried to convert it into a thin film of dry gel. Thereafter, in a fourth step, the thin film of dry gel is subjected to a heat treatment for thermally decomposing and removing organic substances in the dry gel thin film and simultaneously crystallizing this gel state thin film.

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer includes a carbon layer formation step, a through hole formation step, a feed layer formation step, and an epitaxial layer formation step. In the carbon layer formation step, a carbon layer (71) is formed on a surface of a substrate (70) made of polycrystalline SiC. In the through hole formation step, through holes (71c) are formed in the carbon layer (71) formed on the substrate (70). In the feed layer formation step, a Si layer (72) and a 3C—SiC polycrystalline layer (73) are formed on a surface of the carbon layer (71). In the epitaxial layer formation step, the substrate (70) is heated so that a seed crystal made of 4H—SiC single crystal is formed on portions of the surface of the substrate (70) that are exposed through the through holes (71c), and a close-spaced liquid-phase epitaxial growth of the seed crystal is caused to form a 4H—SiC single crystal layer.
