Abstract
A method of making very pure cubic silicon carbide, SiC, comprising the steps of: loading a first inner graphite cup of a Lely type furnace while cold with a large number of crystals of SiC that are used as substrates; sealing the first cup with a graphite lid; inserting the first cup into a second graphite cup and inserting them into the furnace; filling the area between the first cup and the second cup with SiC; heating the first cup to between 2300.degree. C. and 2700.degree. C. until an atmosphere saturated with Si, C, SiC.sub.2 and Si.sub.2 C is created; and cooling the furnace quickly to a temperature less than 1800.degree. C.
