Abstract

See full text

Provided is a method for producing a SiC single crystal which can suppress generation of SiC polycrystals. The method according to the present embodiment is in accordance with a solution growth method. The method for producing a SiC single crystal according to the present embodiment comprises a power-output increasing step, a contact step, and a growth step. In the power-output increasing step, high-frequency power output of an induction heating device is increased to crystal-growth high-frequency power output. In the contact step, a SiC seed crystal is brought into contact with a Si—C solution. The high-frequency power output of the induction heating device in the contact step is more than 80% of the crystal-growth high-frequency power output. The temperature of the Si—C solution in the contact step is less than a crystal growth temperature. In the growth step, the SiC single crystal is grown at the crystal growth temperature.
