Abstract
【解決手段】溶液法による炭化珪素の結晶成長方法において、Si−C溶液4の収容部としてSiCを主成分とする坩堝1を加熱して、坩堝1内のSi−C溶液4の温度が上側から下側に向かって高くなる温度分布を形成するとともに、Si−C溶液4と接触する坩堝1表面の高温領域から該坩堝1の主成分であるSiCを源とするSiおよびCを前記Si−C溶液4内に溶出せしめ、Si−C溶液4と接触する坩堝1表面でのSiC多結晶の析出を抑制する。このような状態のSi−C溶液4に、坩堝1の上部からSiC種結晶3を接触させて、該SiC種結晶3上にSiC単結晶を成長させる。SiCを主成分とする坩堝1を用いることにより、S−C溶液4の組成変動が少なく、坩堝1の内壁に析出する多結晶や添加金属元素Mと炭素Cが結合して形成される金属炭化物の発生も抑制される。
