Publication number: 20130153836Abstract: In a powder fabrication step (S1) in this method for producing a silicon carbide singe crystal, a metal material containing at least one of vanadium, niobium, and tungsten is mixed into silicon carbide powder as transition metal atoms for the silicon carbide powder, which is the source or silicon carbide, to produce a sublimation starting material (50). In a purification process step (S2), the sublimation starting material (50) is disposed in a purified graphite crucible (10), and a sublimation/growth step (S3) is carried out. When a growth height for this single crystal such that the donor concentration and acceptor concentration are equal in the single crystal of silicon carbide obtained by growth of sublimated raw material on a seed crystal in the sublimation/growth step (S3) is achieved, nitrogen gas is introduced at 0.5-100 ppm of an inert atmospheric gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2011Publication date: June 20, 2013Applicant: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventor: Taro Miyamoto
