ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing a diamond single crystal substrate, in which a single crystal is grown from a diamond single crystal serving as a seed substrate by vapor phase synthesis, said method comprising: preparing a diamond single crystal seed substrate which has a main surface whose planar orientation falls within an inclination range of not more than 8 degrees relative to a {100} plane or a {111} plane, as a seed substrate; forming a plurality of planes of different orientation which are inclined in the outer peripheral direction of the main surface relative to the main surface on one side of this seed substrate, by machining; and then growing a diamond single crystal by vapor phase synthesis.
