摘要: The production method of an SiC single crystal is a production method of an SiC single crystal by a solution growth process. The production method includes a contact step A, a contact step B, and a growth step. In the contact step A, a partial region of the principal surface is brought into contact with a stored Si—C solution. In the contact step B, a contact region between the principal surface and the stored Si—C solution expands, due to a wetting phenomenon, starting from an initial contact region which is the partial region brought into contact in the contact step A. In the growth step, an SiC single crystal is grown on the principal surface which is in contact with the stored Si—C solution.

摘要: An apparatus for producing an SiC single crystal includes a crucible for accommodating an Si—C solution and a seed shaft having a lower end surface where an SiC seed crystal (36) would be attached. The seed shaft includes an inner pipe that extends in a height direction of the crucible and has a first passage. An outer pipe accommodates the inner pipe and constitutes a second passage between itself and the inner pipe and has a bottom portion whose lower end surface covers a lower end opening of the outer pipe. One passage of the first and second passages serves as an introduction passage where coolant gas flows downward, and the other passage serves as a discharge passage where coolant gas flows upward. 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.
