Abstract

See full text

A silicon carbide powder which, when used as a raw material in a sublimation recrystallization method, enables improvement in productivity of a silicon carbide single crystal by exhibiting a high sublimation rate and allowing a small amount of silicon carbide to remain without being sublimated, and enables an increase in size of the silicon carbide single crystal (for example, a single crystal wafer). The silicon carbide powder has a Blaine specific surface area of from 250 cm2/g to 1,000 cm2/g and a ratio of a silicon carbide powder having a particle size of more than 0.70 mm and 3.00 mm or less of 50 vol % or more with respect to a total amount of the silicon carbide powder. When a silicon carbide powder accommodated in a crucible is heated to be sublimated, a silicon carbide single crystal is formed on a seed crystal provided on an undersurface of a lid.
