Definitions

  • a method for producing a p-type 4H—SiC single crystal according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a sublimation step of sublimating a nitrided aluminum raw material and a SiC raw material; and a crystal-growth step of stacking a SiC single crystal, which is co-doped with aluminum and nitrogen, on one surface of a seed crystal.
  • Presence of polymorphs can lower crystallinity of the SiC single crystal, and thus be a cause for increased resistivity.
  • polymorphs such as 6H—SiC are mixed, it is not possible to manufacture an originally intended device.
  • the method for producing the p-type 4H—SiC single crystal according to the embodiment of the present invention uses a sublimation method.
  • unnecessary impurities or the like can be prevented from being taken into the crystal.
