Abstract
Provided is a method for producing an SiC single crystal, which is capable of greatly increasing the growth rate in a solution technique in comparison to conventional methods. A method for producing an SiC single crystal, wherein an SiC single crystal is grown by bringing a seed crystal substrate into contact with an Si—C solution that is put in a crucible and has a temperature gradient decreasing from the inside to the liquid level, and wherein the value of depth/inner diameter of the crucible is less than 1.71 and the temperature gradient of the Si—C solution from the liquid level to 10 mm below the liquid level is larger than 42° C./cm.
