Patent ID: 8388752

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a SiC single crystal comprising immersing a seed crystal in a SiC solution having C dissolved in a solvent which is a melt of a Si alloy and growing a SiC single crystal on the seed crystal by making the SiC solution supersaturated at least in the vicinity of the seed crystal due to supercooling, characterized in that the Si alloy is an alloy having a composition which is expressed by Si x Cr y Ti z wherein x, y, and z (each in atomic percent) satisfy 0.50<x<0.68, 0.08<y<0.35, and 0.08<z<0.35, or (1) 0.40<x<0.50, 0.15<y<0.40, and 0.15<z<0.35.
