摘要： A manufacturing method of an SiC single crystal includes preparing an SiC substrate, implanting ions into a surface portion of the SiC substrate to form an ion implantation layer, activating the ions implanted into the surface portion of the SiC substrate by annealing, chemically etching the surface portion of the SiC substrate to form an etch pit that is caused by a threading screw dislocation included in the SiC substrate and performing an epitaxial growth of SiC to form an SiC growth layer on a surface of the SiC substrate including an inner wall of the etch pit in such a manner that portions of the SiC growth layer grown on the inner wall of the etch pit join with each other.

摘要： In a method of manufacturing a silicon carbide substrate, a defect-containing substrate made of silicon carbide is prepared. The defect-containing substrate has a front surface, a rear surface being opposite to the front surface, and a surface portion adjacent to the front surface. The detect-containing substrate includes a screw dislocation in the surface portion. The front surface of the defect-containing substrate is applied with an external force so that a crystallinity of the surface portion is reduced. After being applied with the external force, the defect-containing substrate is thermally treated so that the crystallinity of the surface portion is recovered.
