ABSTRACT:
A method of epitaxial growth of a 4H—SiC single crystal enabling growth of an SiC single crystal with low defects and low impurities able to be used for a semiconductor material at a practical growth rate, comprising growing a 4H—SiC single crystal on a 4H—SiC single crystal substrate by epitaxial growth while inclining an epitaxial growth plane of the substrate from a (0001) plane of the 4H—SiC single crystal by an off-angle of at least 12 degrees and less than 30 degrees in a <11-20> axial direction, and a 4H—SiC single crystal obtained by the same.
