摘要： An SiC single crystal having at least one orientation region where a basal plane dislocation has a high linearity and is oriented to three crystallographically-equivalent directions, and an SiC wafer and a semiconductor device which are manufactured from the SiC single crystal. The SiC single crystal can be manufactured by using a seed crystal in which the offset angle on a {0001} plane uppermost part side is small and the offset angle on an offset direction downstream side is large and growing another crystal on the seed crystal.

摘要： A manufacturing method of a SiC single crystal includes a first growth process and a re-growth process. In the first growth process, a first seed crystal made of SiC is used to grow a first SiC single crystal. In the re-growth process, a plurality of growth steps is performed for (n−1) times. In a k-th growth step, a k-th seed crystal is cut out from a grown (k−1)-th SiC single crystal, and the k-th seed crystal is used to grow a k-th SiC single crystal (n≧2 and 2≦k≦n). When an offset angle of a growth surface of the k-th seed crystal is defined as θk, at least in one of the plurality of growth steps, the offset angle θk is smaller than the offset angle θk−1.

摘要： In a manufacturing method of a silicon carbide single crystal, a seed crystal made of silicon carbide is prepared. The seed crystal has a growth surface and a stacking fault generation region and includes a threading dislocation that reaches the growth surface. The growth surface is inclined at a predetermined angle from a (0001) plane. The stacking fault generation region is configured to cause a stacking fault in the silicon carbide single crystal when the silicon carbide single crystal is grown. The stacking fault generation region is located at an end portion of the growth surface in an offset direction that is a direction of a vector defined by projecting a normal vector of the (0001) plane onto the growth surface. The seed crystal is joined to a pedestal, and the silicon carbide single crystal is grown on the growth surface of the seed crystal.
