Abstract
An apparatus for producing an SiC substrate, by which an SiC substrate having a thin base substrate layer is able to be produced, while suppressing deformation or breakage, includes a main container which is capable of containing an SiC base substrate, and which produces a vapor pressure of a vapor-phase species containing elemental Si and a vapor-phase species containing elemental C within the internal space by means of heating; and a heating furnace which contains the main container and heats the main container so as to form a temperature gradient, while producing a vapor pressure of a vapor-phase species containing elemental Si within the internal space. The main container has a growth space in which a growth layer is formed on one surface of the SiC base substrate, and an etching space in which the other surface of the SiC base substrate is etched.
