Abstract

See full text

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.
