Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing an SiC crystal, comprising supplying a raw material gas containing Si, C and N to vapor-grow an N-doped SiC crystal on an SiC substrate, wherein the SiC substrate is an SiC substrate on which La, Ce or Ti is deposited in part or whole of the surface or an SiC substrate in which La, Ce or Ti ion is implanted into part or whole of the surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing an SiC crystal, comprising supplying a raw material gas containing Si, C and N to vapor-grow an N-doped SiC crystal on an SiC substrate, wherein the SiC substrate is an SiC substrate having deposited on the surface thereof La, Ce or Ti or an SiC substrate having implanted thereinto La, Ce or Ti ion. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein only in part of the surface of the SiC substrate, La, Ce or Ti is deposited or La, Ce or Ti ion is implanted. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the La, Ce or Ti is deposited by a vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, or a CVD method. 4. The method according to any one of claim 1 , further comprising removing the deposited La, Ce or Ti after the vapor-phase growth. 5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising applying an annealing treatment to the SiC substrate having implanted thereinto La, Ce or Ti ion, after the ion implantation and before the supply of the raw material gas. 6. The method according to any one of claim 1 , further comprising depositing La, Ce or Ti on or ion-implanting La, Ce or Ti into the surface of the SiC crystal in the middle of the vapor-phase growth.
