Claim:
1. A method of producing a SiC single crystal, in which a Si—C solution in a crucible is used to grow a SiC single crystal from a SiC seed crystal which has been brought into contact with a surface of the Si—C solution, comprising: bringing the SiC seed crystal into contact with the solution surface and then pulling up the seed crystal, forming a meniscus between the seed crystal and the solution to obtain a wetting height of the solution to a side face of the SiC seed crystal is zero or within a range where a SiC single crystal which grows from a bottom face and a SiC single crystal which grows from the side face grow as an integral SiC single crystal, and growing the crystal in that state, wherein an angle formed by the meniscus and the side face of the seed crystal is 200 degrees or less.
