Abstract

See full text

A SiC single crystal is prepared by the solution process of placing a seed crystal in contact with a Si—C solution in a crucible and letting a SiC single crystal to grow from the seed crystal. The method includes the first growth step of conducting crystal growth using (0001) or (000-1) plane of a SiC single crystal of which the seed crystal is composed, as the growth surface, and the second growth step of conducting crystal growth using (1-100) or (11-20) plane of a SiC single crystal resulting from the first growth step as the growth surface. A SiC single crystal of high homogeneity and quality is obtained, which is reduced in threading screw dislocations, threading edge dislocations, basal plane dislocations, micropipes, and stacking faults.
